LEGO fans have discovered a secret hack to securing the sold-out Star Trek: Type-15 Shuttlepod GWP.
The world's first Star Trek LEGO kit landed online last month, and is now available for back order here.
Due to unprecedented demand, the Star Trek: Type-15 Shuttlepod GWP reportedly sold out in minutes, but there is a hidden way to get your hands on it if you're quick.
£349.99
At the time of writing, you can receive the coveted Type-15 Shuttlepod with every purchase of Stranger Things Creel House on the Australian LEGO site here.
"Out of curiosity, I just checked the Aus website," one fan shared on Reddit. "If you buy the new Stranger Things set, you won't get the Radio Station GWP, but you can get the Star Trek GWP with it instead."
"Did they really send so many of those things here that they are now giving them away with other sets?"
Another replied, "Must be very varied, region by region - the GWP doesn’t add to the cart in the UK, and nor does it show as a GWP on the product page to be fair."
If you purchase via the Australian site, Stranger Things Creel House will be shipped in 60 days and you have until March 1 to receive the GWP (whilst stocks last).
The only other way to secure the Star Trek: Type-15 Shuttlepod in the UK and US is via second-hand sites such as eBay.

The WSQK radio station GWP is currently sold out online, but Mike, Dustin, Lucas and Will Figures and Eleven, Max, Demogorgon and Holly Figures are available for back order.
Trekkies keen to get their hands on Type-15 Shuttlepod GWP, you'll have to order the set via the Australian LEGO site here.
With a whopping 2,593 pieces, Stranger Things Creel House is an impressive homage to the beloved television series.
Designed to keep you busy, there are two build options: you can either choose to have the home looking as pristine as it did in happier times or with broken windows and chilling details from the legendary showdown with Vecna.
It's received rave reviews so far, too.
"10/10 build experience 9/10 display 10/10 playability. Figures are a little lacking for $300, but the real value is in the set itself," one customer shared.
"I absolutely love getting to pull the set apart for two ways to display the set. It is a little smaller than expected but still packs in some incredible Easter eggs to get any fan excited. I did wait in line and was able to secure it. Everyone who’s complaining just didn’t get in line earlier that’s on you for that. Great set and lots of small things packed into an iconic house from the world of ST."
Another review reads, "It was so fun to build and I love the mini figures, and Steve .The Hair' Harrington is the coolest guy ever."
However, some were disappointed at how fast the LEGO set sold out.
"I have been waiting since 12am, as soon as the clocks turned over to January 4. I have refreshed the site every 30 minutes and still nothing is in stock."
"Did you really only make enough for all of your insiders so they can always sell it on eBay? I'm a LEGO Insider too, but I figured it would be okay to wait until the fourth for the restock, but apparently not. I was also looking forward to getting the WSQK gift with the purchase as well, but it looks like that might not be happening because you still haven't stocked up."
