Does MOCBoxing use LEGO® bricks?
Does MOCBoxing use LEGO® bricks?
All MOCBoxing orders use only genuine LEGO® bricks unless the product description says otherwise. The only times we do not use them are when MOC designers specifically request parts that The LEGO® Group does not make, like electronic parts or train axles.
New vs. Used Parts
New vs. Used Parts
For the new parts, all parts are new unless they are not available anywhere on the market. This very rarely happens and is usually only for discontinued parts in Old Grey or other retired colors. New parts are straight out of a box or LEGO Pick-a-Brick, and have never been built with before.
Used parts have been built with before and may vary in wear and age.
Are electronics included?

Non-LEGO electronics are not included. Most MOCs that require electronics specify if they require BuWizz, TrixBrix, Lightailing or other parts, which can be bought on those respective websites.

Before the Defiant, there was this. Bigger than a shuttlepod, smaller than a full-size ship. Seen in Star Trek: The Next Generation, it's useful, but when your series is tied to the Terok Nor space station, you need something this size to really get out and about. So this was the ship class of choice.
The series showcased a fair few of these, all named after rivers - the Rio Grande was the most used on screen and, famously, was the first ship to discover the Bajoran wormhole to the Gamma quadrant. Perfectly sized for short away missions and dialogue-heavy character scenes, it was always a well-used vessel to propel the stories forward.
Initially, I was going to make this a small-scale simple design, but on researching the ship, I found it was designed to be modular. This intrigued me, wondering if I could turn this into a full play set. Turns out I could! By making it larger scale, for the first time ever I could include a full interior: bridge, meeting room, storage and living modules and a detachable command module upfront. The bridge includes all main seating and the transporter.
Simply put, this is the best runabout for detail and play features at this scale, and I can't wait to see pictures from people sending their own crews off on away missions :) Speaking of crew, I've included a few favourites from the Defiant set that have frequently featured in runabout missions.
Oh, and I've included a detachable rollbar if you prefer the look of the Ganges runabout!
