The BlueBrixx sets print unique design elements like names, numbers, coloured lines directly onto the bricks. LEGO is known for adding packs of cheap stickers for most of that.

There's nothing much wrong with stickers, certainly for text and such.

The ready room picture is, afaik, one of the more iconic objects associated with Picard.

I'm talking about the quality of the drawing on the box. It's Picard, but it looks a bit like a knock off.

The painting is 1m x 0.5m with some depth.

Huh? What painting? The dimensions of the model are 554 x 400 x 179 mm. Half a metre long doesn't seem like much for a big, iconic starship.

Looking at it, there have been a few different versions of the Lego Falcon. The big one is €850 euros, and measures 83cm by 60cm with 7541 pieces. This uses Lego Technic parts and is pretty complex on the exterior. The smaller, similarly priced Falcon is €169.99, measures 47cm by and has 1330 pieces.

Neither model uses stickers, the different coloured pieces give it its texture. They also have moving parts, blasters that fire, and some level of internals eg ship cabins (particularly with the cheaper one).

The Falcon is a smaller ship, so it stands to reason the ship should be smaller and simpler. Yet the Enterprise D is visually and physically much more boring. It's a display model, building is only a small part of it, but it isn't really that interesting to look at. I would have liked it to be bigger and include a bridge, at least. In the video, they point at where Ten Forward is, but really there's nothing there.

The Lego Millennium Falcon has ~2.5 as many pieces for ~4.5 as high a price. (Using the regular price, which is €189.95, btw, ten less than you wrote.)

The price I quoted (€150 sale and €200 RRP) are literally the prices on the BlueBrixx website you linked. The small Lego Falcon is cheaper at RRP, and while it has fewer pieces it still looks far more fun.

Intricate details I cannot judge from the pictures. I suppose that comparing a painting set to a ship that’s several times as expensive may also not be the easiest to compare, even in person.

Huh? What painting? There's just a packet of bricks that get put together.

That’s, like, your opinion. Personally, I think €850 for a single set is a bit much. I’d rather have 5 smaller sets for that price. That said, Bluebrixx does plenty of ships that are “cheaper and cost less”, down to tiny sets for ~€10 each.

I agree, €850 is a lot. Lego are definitely exploiting the brands to charge that much. However, this is an iconic set, I would expect the option of something similar for the Enterprise D - maybe not quite as expensive, but bigger and bolder than what they have here.

Like I say, if it was a little bigger and had some better display of internals, that would be better.
