All stickers, so could be recreated and stickers purchased or printed? Obviously not the fig, but man, this sucks for Trek fans.

Is NCC-1701-D on the front printed? Looks like all the other parts are stickers.

I'm a little confused by this sentiment. It's one thing if you just object to stickers entirely, but I don't know how it would specifically be a problem that the set can be recreated with parts obtained from other sets."

More the fig. Being able to build multiple shuttles is a plus, though it may be some time before third party stickers are available. I get that these are meant to boost sales, but it's very frustrating for people who want them and can't buy on day one or hour one. Would I love a witch king of Angmar? Certainly. Could I buy Barad Dur day one? No.

Never give up!

Excellent pieces on that shuttle.

So why only one female character in the main set got chest shadow? It just seems inconsistent, enlightenment please?

We're quoting recent sets, right?

I’m not sure of the exact sticker count, but it appears to have about 13, and the piece count is 261, so no, not even close, even if stickers are actually part of the piece count. Even if the latter were the case, I think it’s safe to assume this doesn’t have 131 or more stickers.

Really solid build, pity its not a retail set.

@R0Sch said:
"Scalpers like this. ;)"

I imagine many resellers will buy a set, sell the GWP and split the set into minifigures and the ship. Some people will whine about it calling them scalpers but others will be pleased that they could buy the shuttle by itself or the ship by itself or the set of minifigures or individual minifigures. If anyone wants the ship, the figures and the GWP then they can buy it when released, the same as any reseller.

I'd rather buy the Enterprise at some point in time after the release, but this GWP makes me want to buy it day one. Their policy sucks indeed, but well... Maybe I'll sell the Enterprise first, and buy it another day.

The magic of sarcasm remains a mystery to some..."

As does the pleasure of understatement.

I'm no Trekkie, but whoever this character is is probably more notable than Deagol and should probably not be locked behind a limited-time promotion.

Lego needs to have this as a normal set, but also have it available as a GWP for the few days it is available as one. It's such a shame as it's such an amazing design.

One would indeed, though I think the ship on the display is actually a Romulan Warbird (which would also be a delightful future set to see).

Really, there are just a lot of things in Star Trek that would make great sets (and, indeed, in many cases already have, albeit for BlueBrixx…)."

It is a Romulan Warbird, though both that and Klingon would be amazing. I like they included Ro Karen, though it's a shame Tasha Yar is absent.

Miles' absence gives me hope for DS9 too, and maybe gwp Defiant.

resistance is futile.what a great gwp and a fantastic set. It will be a day one buy for me

Oh cool, that would be neat too. Sorry I had the ship mixed up. They look similar on the tiny graphic. Hopefully both will happen in the future!

As much as I like Ensign Ro, I wish we could also get a polybag with Lieutenant Yar accompanied by a big black puddle of oil!

Yeah, he'll hopefully get his chance next!

Unusually for a dedicated GWP this looks pretty good and, being Black Friday weekend, there's obviously a chance of 1 or 2 additional GWPs as well. However, as I haven't seen a single Next Generation episode, I'm more interested in the Insiders Weekend the week before!

Hopefully O’Brien will show up in the (hopefully) inevitable DS9 set, as others have noted. Both DS9 and Voyager had 10 principle cast members over their runs, so expecting any extras on top of those characters (Nog, Rom, Garek, the Nagus, Winn Adami etc.) is wishful thinking. We need a CMF frankly. In the meantime this GWP is superb, and I’d much rather have Ro than not. It’s a good start, just needs following up.

I kind of understand leaving O'Brien out of both 10356 and this GWP, 40768.

His character was much better on Deep Space Nine than it was on The Next Generation, at least in my opinion. "

Miles probably enjoyed his time on the Enterprise more, though. After all, TNG writers never said, "How can we torture O'Brien this week?"

Set designers are currently figuring out how to split O'Brien's consciousness across every minifigure they manufacture of him, stay tuned.

I’d like for a DS9 set to just plain come with a little Defiant that can be docked with the station (and if there’s a GWP, maybe make it some other ship in a small scale that can similarly be docked there, like Enterprise-D, Voyager, or a Klingon Bird of Prey). This Enterprise D has a saucer separation feature, and a Voyager offers the chance for both movable warp nacelles and retractable landing struts, but the actual Deep Space Nine station would be harder to incorporate play features into on its own, unless they do it in a huge scale (so that they can have all those weapons upgrades extend and retract, say, or perhaps have the runabout docking platforms raise and lower); having other ships dock to it would ameliorate that.

A TOS 1701 could perhaps have opening shuttle bay doors, with a removable shuttlecraft. And of course, any number of shuttlecraft / shuttlepods / runabouts could accommodate minifigures and have working doors and whatnot.

Disappointing; it would have been a perfect little $20AUD set but I guess that LEGO seemingly has no interest in people who aren't dropping hundreds of dollars on their Icons range.

I like this more, than the actual set. Bummer it's a GWP. Buying and sending the actual set back to get the GWP it is...
If more people did this, it would probably send the right message to Lego.

This will cost as much as the big set itself on eBay. Oh wait, I thought people have no money and barely get by .... never mind

I would buy this shuttle on its own as has some clever building techniques for its size, swish-able and looks great on display. Maybe eventually but parts as seem fairly standard rather than eBay extortion.

Yes, it can be funny. You should have used it in your reply.

If you believe that and think it is that easy to sell a GWP for such a huge amount of money then why not buy the big set and sell this, meaning you get the big set almost for free?

She's actually a really good choice to accompany a GWP: a prominent enough character to be desirable, but still minor enough that nobody would be saying "where the hell is Ensign Ro?" if the minifig was someone else.

Something I haven't seen mentioned when it comes to both this and the Enterprise is how LEGO managed to not have to follow the strict rules CBS sets for packaging design. All Star Trek Merchandise has to follow the guidelines, which is why no matter whether it was a BlueBrixx set or is one by Playmobil or any other licensee all the box art looks the same. How LEGO got around it is a mystery to me. Not that I really care, I just find it curious.

should have been Tasha Yar and they we could have Armus a big black oil slick bad guy!

First, I was being sarcastic. Second, this will sell for at least $100, I'm guessing $150 and some crazies will ask $200+. The point is either you won't have it or will double-triple pay for it

@CamberbrickGreen said:

That character is counselor Deanna Troi who for most of the series (the first 5 of the 7 seasons) never wore standard uniforms but always a rather feminine, non-uniform attire. While that was supposedly meant to emphasize her empathic, diplomatic role, to me it echoed the overtly sexy uniforms of the female characters in the original Star Trek series.
So even though for the last two seasons she did wear standard uniforms, depicting her like this is true to her character.

We can hope! A Defiant or a runabout would be fantastic. As much as I love Star Trek, competing for 400 of my Lego dollars is a tough fight. Gimme something in the $100-150 range and I'm much more likely to buy.

@SeparatorGuyChallis said:

Ooh, maybe we get Star Trek battle packs with a bunch of red-shirts! Though, from TNG onward I guess they'd be gold-shirts... either way: these figures are generic enough that we really just need the torsos. We can Bricklink all the legs, faces, and hairpieces for any other crew members!

Not really sure what you mean by that. You know I'm still paying for the GWP, right? I'm just returning the product I don't want, because that's my legal right in the EU as long as I do it within 14 days of delivery.
