  They misspelled boldly in this sticker. Wonder if they caught that before the main run.

  $399.99

  Lol

  Lmao, even

  I ain’t buying that shit. I will happily buy two 3d printers, upgrade them, and print a giant coffee table sized version before I spend that much on such a small set.

    But how will you flex without the MISSPELLED FUCKING STICKERS?

  I really like the shuttlecraft, I wish they’d sell that on its own.

    @Shadow @USSBurritoTruck it’s assigned its own set number (40768) so perhaps it will be available for purchase after the initial promotion of the Enterprise D set?

  Summary: overpriced x3.

  I’m sure you could buy all the pieces separate and build it yourself for cheaper (especially if you buy them from brickcraft instead). Sure you wouldn’t get the stickers but no one I know likes stickers on their legos anyway.

    Could be. I’m not seeing any particularly rare pieces other that the two blue printed canopies under the saucer. However, odds are it’ll be way more expensive to source and ship the parts unless you already have a lot of them.

  I love Lego. I played with them often as a kid, and I love sharing the Lego games with my son, had season passes to legoland, and appreciate the humor they add into everything now of days. The accessories for the TNG crew are a perfect showcase of this.

  With that said, yeah, the Lego Ent D is slightly less expensive than my multi-color 3D printer, and I’m more than happy with the Akita Class I printed a month ago. Maybe I’ll print the Enterprise D in the next few days to celebrate.

    You can’t just talk about your 3D-printed Akira Class and not show it. 🙃

    What are the material costs for a larger sized D?

      Bigger underwear, for a start

      I’m still learning, but I don’t see it being more than 500g if you were to print it yourself. Keep in mind a 3D print is going to have about a 15% infill, where the Legos are solid plastic, so the Lego version will use more raw materials and be heavier by nature.

      1kg of good quality PLA or PETG can be had on Amazon for about $13 on sale, definitely under $20. So, you’re using maybe $6-$10 USD of raw plastic?

      Keep in mind you either need to sand and paint it, or use multiple colors to get something “good” looking, but for my Akira class I just printed it grey and used some acrylic paint markers to do some quick details. I’m lazy, so mine looks like crap up close, but from a distance it looks alight on my shelf, and it’s cheap enough that my 5 year old can grab it and play spaceship with no stress on my end.
