Description

A compact shuttle shape

The Type-15 Shuttlepod is known in Star Trek as a small auxiliary craft, and the model translates its rounded, capsule-like hull into 261 pieces without skipping the distinctive window arches and rear thruster details. The build stays on the shorter side, which makes it a good fit for a quicker evening compared with the larger Star Trek ships in the Icons range. The white, light bluish grey, dark bluish grey and black colour scheme matches the understated look of Starfleet technology and keeps the model instantly recognisable.

Minifigure and collector appeal

One minifigure comes with the set and fits inside the shuttlepod, so the model works as more than a static display piece and can support a small play scene too. For collectors who already own larger Star Trek ships from the Icons range, the Type-15 Shuttlepod adds a compact piece that needs little shelf space while still fitting the theme. It also works as an entry point into the Star Trek sets, since the build stays manageable but still results in a finished, recognisable model.

Pieces, colours and the parts list

Of the 261 pieces, 103 are unique elements, a typical ratio for a model this size that still gives enough shape variety for the rounded hull. The greys and white used here pair well with other space or technic-style sets and can be reused for custom builds. This page carries the full, colour-sorted parts list, useful for looking up a specific element or reordering pieces, particularly handy when a single piece needs replacing or swapping.

Building experience and shelf space

The set came out in 2025 as a compact addition to the Star Trek line within LEGO® Icons, which also covers considerably larger starship models alongside smaller craft like this one. The build follows a clear sequence from hull to window arches to the rear thrusters, keeping the process approachable even for less experienced builders. Since the model needs no separate stand and rests on a stable base of its own, it slots straight onto a shelf next to other Star Trek or space-themed sets. That makes the Type-15 Shuttlepod work equally well as part of a wider collection or as a single small display piece.
