(More customer reviews)First of all, the model in the picture on this site is not assembled correctly- the two engines (nacelles) are actually a bit longer and have rounded ends.
The finished Enterprise has a nice weight to it and is fun to fly around.It would have been nice if it was easier to separate the saucer from the main ship (like in the show), but I'm guessing that wasn't possible for structural integrity reasons (the saucer is heavy).But overall, it looks surprisingly good.In addition to the section that holds the nacelles being smooth, there is a specialized bridge section which is also smooth and balances the smooth/blocky aesthetic.My only complaint might be that the underside lacks detail compared to the top (a frequent complaint of mine for Lego, i.e. Millennium Falcon, great detail up top, nothing underneath).
I like the Captain Picard figure included.The head sculpt looks pretty close to the character, who is bald.I think it's better that he has a smooth head rather than having a connector on the top (Lego characters look great with hair or hats, no so good bald - look at the NBA figures).The weapon looks very much like the phaser used in the show - much better than the guns that Lego gives to the Star Wars characters.
As for play value, the scale is not right for this to be a "play set" - it would have to be massive to have any meaningful interior play areas - and which ones would be included?The stories on the show take place all over the ship, so even if there was a bridge and engine room interiors, it would still be lacking- if the ship was to scale for a standard Megablock/Lego figure, the ship would have to be the size of a house - simply not possible.
The saucer section is relatively complicated to build - this is not a set for younger kids.But for teenage and (more likely) adult fans of Star Trek and Lego/Mega blocks, this is a nice set.
