Is the entire first batch guaranteed a shuttlepod with Ro?
That seemed to have more desire for it than the 'D as the Minifigure population is very active. Everyone wanted to be sure to get that more than the ship. Hell, I'm kinda that way as a Trek fan I wanted Ro AND shuttlepod. I logged in right at midnight Eastern and didn't get in until about 20 minutes in. Yeah, it wasn't sold-out and I did get one when my order processed but it was "crowded."
What that shows is that there is energy for it. If it was a model of the Enterprise-G or Discovery with an exclusive kit with an obscure vehicle and popular secondary character would the same passion have been there?
Well for some of us yes....
If it was the Discovery and it looked good, and had the spinning parts yes I might have bit the bullet and got one.
But this no I'm not that keen on the Enterprise D
