Context
The Asgard O'Neill Class is BlueBrixx-Pro set #108746 [store page]. Released in 2025, the set consists of 1407pcs, most of which are either metallic silver, glow-in-the-dark white, pearl dark grey, or trans light blue. At its original price of 100€ (plus 6€ shipping within Germany), the set is fairly expensive with 7.1ct/brick, though this is somewhat offset by the many "expensive" colours. I bought it during last year's Black Friday week for 80€, which made the price much more reasonable. Right now (late April 2026) the set is on sale for -50%, probably because the set contains some now-declared "illegal" parts that BlueBrixx needs to get rid of until May or so. At this price, the set is a steal. I wish I had waited this long, but, oh well.
I'm a huge Stargate fan and already have the Prometheus (entirely in flat silver), the Ancient's Aurora, and the Goa'uld Al'kesh. The Prometheus and Aurora are some of my all-time favourite spaceships and the Al'kesh is almost ubiquitous in the series as well. The O'Neill, if I remember correctly, only appears in a single episode, making its importance rather negligible compared to some still-not-produced sets like the Daedalus or the Ha'tak. I would've passed it by entirely (like I did their Beliskner or Wraith Cruiser), but I couldn't resist the absurd bling and pulled the trigger.
The set comes on a black stand that includes a multi-part print for the "Stargate" plaque. On the stand, the O'Neill is 20cm tall, 41cm long, and 44cm wide. The stand has a footprint of 23cm x 6.5cm. If you want to put it on a shelf, it needs to be 25cm deep.
Shipping & Packaging
I bought the set alongside some others during the Black Friday week, so please check out my review of the Freshwater Angelfish for more details on the shipping and outer packaging.
The O'Neill itself comes in a fairly large box that is nicely printed (as usual for BlueBrixx-Pro sets), in which there is a cardboard inlay to give the box more stability (and probably also to reduce the vast emptiness inside the too-large box). The inlay contains the printed manual and the various plastic baggies, which are divided into four parts and printed in black on white. Those baggies also have individual consecutive numbers (i.e. 108746-1 to 108746-27) printed in a smaller font.
Instruction Manual
The printed manual is a bit smaller than A4 size and of generally very good quality. BlueBrixx-Pro manuals desaturate the colours of previous steps a little to highlight what is added in each step, which IMO is the best way of doing manuals; new parts are additionally outlined in red. Each step features the usual tooltip with a list of what new bricks are needed. Metallic parts are marked with a sparkle to distinguish them from grey (though there is no grey in this set); steps with glow-in-the-dark parts have a "glow in the dark" symbol to distinguish this colour from, I don't know, some weird shade of pale lime that certainly doesn't exist in this set either.
The manual spreads the 1407pcs over 226 steps (six parts per step) and over ~100 pages (ca. two steps per page), which is neither too dense nor too simple. I'd say that the manual is easy to follow, though it might be a step up from LEGO manuals.
Brick Quality
Clutch is generally good but a little creaky, probably thanks to the metallic coating. Injection points range from almost invisibly small to fairly large, as is customary for XingBao-produced bricks. Colour consistency is okay with some deviations in the glow-in-the-dark white and the metallic silver. Clear parts are adequately clear. The print quality is excellent; the multi-part print for the Stargate is preassembled on a carrier plate to make sure that the alignment is perfect.
The inner skeleton of the ship is held in glow-in-the-dark white with the idea that it will make the trans light blue windows glow in the dark. This does not work in the slightest. My guess is that the phosphorescence of the glow-in-the-dark bricks is blocked by the light blue. Claude finds that likely: apparently glow-in-the-dark is excited by 350nm-420nm violet light and then glows in ~520nm green light, but the trans light blue bricks only transmit 450nm-490nm, i.e. they block both the violet light that excites the phosphorescence material as well as the phosphorescence emission. Nevertheless, it's a cool idea by BlueBrixx, but I don't get why they didn't test it before specially ordering a ton of useless glow-in-the-dark Technic bricks that no doubt drove up the price of the set a little.
Still, I'm happy to see that glow-in-the-dark bricks are still a thing. I'm sure there's a lot of cool stuff that could be done with this. I'm not a Halloween guy myself (it's not really a German thing, at least not in my age group), but some glowing brick-built skeleton sets seem an obvious application. Or maybe some deep sea vistas? Or maybe even some spaceships? That eerie pale lime colour does look pretty cool on its own! Anyway...
My biggest gripe about the set is the metallic silver coating. It does rub off fairly easily, i.e. most bricks are missing the coating at their corners, with one 2x6 tile missing an entire edge. Even worse, my fingertips were thoroughly coated in silver after building a few steps. Now, I don't think that there is any health concern (this is a German company pushing sets on the German market and we're kinda the kings of regulating anything and everything), but it doesn't exactly scream high quality either. I had the same experience with ZheGao's absurdly golden Aircraft Carrier, and being compared with ZheGao in terms of brick quality is generally not a good sign. Other brands seem to use a different coating method (or maybe add a finishing layer on top of it?); I didn't have this issue at all with the MJ sets like their Mechanical Goshawk, even though that one had lots of bricks in three different metallic colours.
Also, I had a mismould of a 2x2 round plate. In five years of alt-bricks, I think I only had two mismoulds, and both came in sets I bought in November 2025. Not sure if I just had bad luck or if there is some quality assurance issue going around, but I've also found more missing bricks in the last few months than in the four years combined (and I'm not talking about BlueBrixx here but all brands). Still, BlueBrixx have a pretty good spare part service, and this set also did have a very solid number of spare parts, so kudos to BlueBrixx for both.
Design & Building Process
The set is divided into four parts, the first of which builds the stand and the "neck" of the ship. The stand is the usual fare for Stargate sets, i.e. a fairly plain black rectangle that looks appropriately elegant but unobtrusive. Personally, I loved the "shadow" stands of the Enterprise E and NX-01, but ehh, it's fine. Building the neck of the ship was pretty fun. I loved using the glow-in-the-dark bricks!
Part two adds wings to the ship. It's fairly fun for the first wing and then obviously repetitive for the second one, but still fun enough. There are some non-standard techniques here, but of the four parts, I'd call this one the most tame one.
Part three adds the stern of the ship and the underside of the bow. I found the stern quite creatively designed and lots of fun to build, mostly using large sub-assemblies that slot into place with surprising ease. Also, those 3x3 rounded corner slopes look super cool in metallic silver, and I really love the accents in pearl dark grey. The underside of the bow also has a few surprises and is fun to build.
Part four adds the upper side of the bow, that dark skeletal bridge from the neck to the stern, the vertical structures at the wings, and finally the four cannons. The upper side of the bow is fairly boring to build (essentially just a mosaic of tiles, though I do love the wedge tiles!). It's attached with two hinge bricks and four studs to the bow's underside, which is kinda awkward to do and fell apart in my hands (mostly because it should first be attached to the four studs at the rear and then clipped into the hinge bricks, but the manual completely ignores that those four studs at the rear even exist -- I certainly share some blame here, but the manual should be clearer). I'm not sure if the hinges are really necessary here; they create a slope of one plate's thickness over a length of, what, twenty studs? Even knowing that there is a slight slope, I can barely see it. If I hadn't built it, I don't think I would notice it. Still, kudos to the designer for sticking so close to the original.
That pearl dark grey skeletal bridge from the neck to the rear does look very cool but is fairly frustrating to build, mostly because I had to judge by eye how to space the clippy things to the rods. I can't say that I'm a fan, even if the result does look nice. The vertical sections at the wings are identical for both sides but reasonably interesting to build. I like that they're attached not only by twelve studs each but also by a Technic axle; this certainly improves the stability a lot.
The end result speaks for itself. The ship is easily recognisable, the colour choices are excellent, and it just looks very sleek and gorgeous. The designer certainly outdid himself!
tl;dr
Well-designed and gorgeous set with lots of cool colours. My biggest gripe is that the metallic silver coating doesn't have the best quality, leading to rubbed off corners and silver fingers. At the full price, that's less than ideal. Nevertheless, BlueBrixx have shown once again why they're pretty much the top brand when it comes to accurate reproductions of licenced space ships. I'm looking forward to their version of Atlantis, and I dearly hope that they'll soon announce a Daedalus and a Ha'tak.
