Gifts-with-purchase are a conundrum. While we all want promotional sets to be appealing, their limited availability can be disappointing. 40768 Star Trek: Type-15 Shuttlepod serves as a prime example because the ship looks superb, but will only be available with the U.S.S Enterprise.
In addition, an exclusive Ensign Ro minifigure is included to join the other characters found in 10356 Star Trek: U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D. Honestly, this seems like a great set all round, which makes its status as a gift-with-purchase all the more frustrating!
The last major LEGO event in the UK this year takes place next weekend, 15-16 November, in Bristol. Tickets are selling fast but are still available to buy online, so grab them while you can.
There'll be three floors of exhibits, traders and activities in the pavilion at the Gloucestershire county cricket ground, including a GBC of which I will be part.
I hope to see you there: come and say hello and I'll give you a 1x8 Brickset brick (while stocks last!)

Like the Borg, The LEGO Group has assimilated new licensed properties with remarkable speed lately. LEGO Star Trek was once considered near-impossible given the continuation of LEGO Star Wars, though the magnificent 10356 Star Trek: U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D proves otherwise.
I am surprised Star Trek: The Next Generation was chosen as a starting point over the classic Enterprise, although the Galaxy-class spacecraft is undoubtedly iconic and crewed by equally popular characters, nine of whom are included! The minifigure selection and the vehicle itself both appear excellent to me.

Enterprise NCC-1701-D set allows builders to craft a detailed replica of the iconic starship, complete with a detachable command saucer, secondary hull, and warp nacelles with distinctive red and blue detailing.

2026 will be the 15th anniversary of NINJAGO and several anniversary sets will be launched to celebrate the occasion, beginning with 71858 Four Weapons Blacksmith!
The blacksmith seems like a perfect choice to mark the anniversary, as the location of the very first scene in NINJAGO's pilot episode. 2508 Blacksmith Shop portrayed the same setting back in 2011, but this 1259-piece model prioritises accuracy and detail, so looks much better than its predecessor.
The set will be released on January 1st, costing £89.99, $99.99 or €99.99. In addition to the long-awaited Blacksmith Kai minifigure, as well as Nya, Maya, Ray and Master Wu, the set also comes with a unique Master of Earth anniversary minifigure. This is one of the seven figures teased at Fan Media Days.
Vacation mode continues in Heartlake City. After spending some time on the water in 42664 Travel Boat Adventure, it's time for the Friends to head off for their next adventure.
This leg takes them by car, in 42659 Friendship Road-Trip Travel Car. Where are they headed? I suspect that will be a different review. In the meantime, let's check out the Friends' ride.
