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.

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.

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?
