LEGO Enterprise rumors

[Trekker4747]

Okay, guys. It's time. I'm sitting down with it... The shuttlepod!

Seriously, why is this cooler than the ship itself? Anyway, I'm building it while watching a shuttlepod-centered episode, "Time Squared."

You can do the shuttle within a hour. Has more stickers than the Enterprise which is annoying. I've never liked stickers.

 

[Trekker4747]

Well, I can my stickers and instructions came out undamaged as well as the instructions.

The condition wasn’t the issue. It’s sticking them on straight I have an issue with. If they are slightly crooked it annoys me.

My Ent-D, shuttlepod, together with the hot chocolate stand and the mini castle sets have all arrived today. I feel the calling to build it from… the hot chocolate stand first?! Is something wrong with me? Or are the holidays getting to me first? LOL

I’m planning to do the hot chocolate stand and mini castle today. Maybe after that start on either the Dune Dragonfly or UCS X-Wing which I got years ago.

How cool is that I just wanted the BOBW Part I on TV. I looked at the box and looked at the TV, then looked at the box again, then the TV…

I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt here. They wanted trans-red there they just couldn't "afford" it.

I wondered if it was to contrast with the bussards.

Either way it's no big deal, I can always order trans red pieces from Bricklink, if they exist in those 1×3 plates.

I was thinking of making the saucer impulse engines dark grey anyway, to match them better when they are not activated.

I finally have my shuttle. That was a quite the palaver. Including LEGO sending the Xmas sets just to the collection point as if I lived there not via DPD's collection. So I had no QR code. Then the QR code for the shuttlecraft was canned but they gave me the Xmas stuff.

Thankfully they listened (or to be honest just lost interest) and gave me the other box behind their counter

I'll give it a watch when I get back home.

He lands hit or miss with me. Sometimes he gets too petty and nitpicky on details and items and strokes himself too much on not being sponsored.

His reviews are often good, but sometimes it seems like if Lego doesn't hold a strict SNOT techniques or there's some gap revealing a structural element or an off-color piece he gets petty. I can only image what he'll say about the tan pieces randomly all over it.

 

[Tomalak]

Got my Shuttlepod and the other two GWPs today too. I think I'll have to build the shuttle this weekend, but the Enterprise will have to wait until after Christmas.

 

[Tomalak]

Turns out those orange/red plates used for the impulse engine are actually a new colour for that piece, so Lego nerds are super excited for them.

I see that the shuttlepod is popping up in eBay at around $150 a pop That’s crazy!

Yep, mostly people want the Ensign Ro figure but the shuttlepod model is pretty nifty too.

Welcome to Lego.

Welcome to Lego.

I mean, welcome to the adult-collectible toy market is more accurate.

It’s unpleasant but hardly surprising to see scalpers marking stuff up on eBay. Definitely not limited to Lego.

It's not but Lego tends to see higher markup because Lego.
