Thank you for sharing your built and experience. The parts from bluebrixx came like the parts of lego from a Chinese factory. I am glad to hear that you like the shuttle. I built for myself the phaser and the 10€ small NCC 1701 Enterprise from TOS. And I like both. But I also had missing pieces. And it was a pain in the ass to get them from the bluebrixx customer service. Dive weeks,of waiting. Greetings from Germany. Please excuse my English isn’t that good anymore. I am getting old. Keep up the good work.
While the video ends on a very positive note, I find the "knock-off" labeling very inaccurate to be honest (in the title and constantly used throughout the video). First, it is mostly (if not explicitly) used to describe counterfeit goods. Megabricks, BlueBrixx, Mould King, Cobi etc. are not counterfeit goods. Lego's patents have expired hence even you, with the proper equipment of course, can produce Lego-compatible bricks. I do believe there is an issue only with the Lego figurine and of course you are not supposed to produce sets that Lego has a license for incl. their own sets and not just the ones with a 3rd party (Disney's Star Wars, Avengers etc.). Some of these companies even produce to some extent different bricks both in size (diamond, mini etc.) as well as actual form. Second, a knock-off is often used to describe an inferior product. Frankly, if we check out what Lego has done in the last decade or so and the abysmal QA they have, I'd say Lego is the knock-off here if we are going to label things. Mould King is know to have among the best if not the best quality of bricks out there (durability, snappiness, color consistency etc.). Cobi as well as other companies produce sets for topics where Lego refuses to tackle. Biggest example would be military themed sets (Cobi is, I'd say, number one here).
I struggled with what to say as I didn't want to imply it was Lego but Lego like, Lego similar, Lego type? They didn't invent the brick and copied the system Lego developed, right down to the bags and instructions, so knock-off seemed the most accurate. Any suggestions for the future?
The pieces are preassambled for the printing process so all the prints are aligned. Bluebrixx is generally very generous with bonus pieces so your leftover pieces might just be free extras.
The black pieces were placeholders that frankly confused me more than helped. I presume they did that because there were a lot of similar pieces but each with a different part of the nacelle striping and they were trying to avoid that confusion but it didn't help me.
Dude, if you think children were the target demo for this then you know nothing. Even the ads for it were devoid of anyone under 30. And anyone buying their child a multi-hundred dollar toy is wasting their cash. Give them a box to play with, they'll be happier.
🖖😎👍Very cool and very nicely well done on getting the Ship put all together and with all of the stickers and lights and sounds and all and it looks very great indeed now that it's all finished, And 180 minutes that's 3hrs just to put a toy together really 🤔!?, I could understand if it were a little snap together model kit with some painting and all any ways a job very nicely well done indeed Sir!👌.
It's light and comes down easy. Unfortunately without a working App the only way to trigger warp, red alert, photo torpedoes is to lift the top off the Bridge and push the buttons on the Astrogator. Sigh...
Where does the power cord for the ornaments plug into? I bought after Christmas last year and didn't know I needed the extra power keepsake cord.. and want to make sure i'm getting all that I need to set up
The booklet that comes with this is amazing at explaining all that. With the saddest news being that if they hadn't struck the set immediately after wrapping the final episode we would've got another season because less than a week later another network expressed interest in the show - but the cost of rebuilding the cave killed that deal.
Nope. There's a door back there (presumably Alfred's elevator) but it doesn't open. The "other" side is the walls of the cliff. Maybe, one day, they'll create a model of Wayne Manor and the batpoles can line up.
@@thegarydavidson on the left side of the reactor there was a mine shaft thet was later used by king tut to penetrate the batcave but on the right side if the reactor there was another mine shaft tunnel at least with the live action set.
@@3dartistguy - cool, the booklet with the numbered certificate talks about how often minor tweaks were done to the set and how they had a hard time nailing down the definitive version. Even the consoles around the Batcave changed from episode to episode as they were rentals from the props pool and had been used on sub movies and the likes for years.
@@thegarydavidson actually they showed up a lot on Irwin Allen productions like Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Lost in Space, Time Tunnel, and even Land of the Giants i guess becuase they were all produced at 20th Century Fox at the time. but again, you dont see a secondary mine shaft tunnel on the right side of the reactor?
