In my case I do not know what I would do with five mirror universe ships. So this type of package would not be of interest to me.
There are probably Federation versions of each of the Terran variants as well, plus they should be able to use previous appearances like the Mirror Gagarin could. The seating, trait, and console should all be different though, and that will be the deciding factor for many people if the price is right for them.
For me personally the only ship out of the expected 5 that I might be interested in is the Trailblazer IF it's tactical heavy, so if individual purchase is an option (and it should be if these are not Legendary) then I might just grab that one, but the new mirror uniform might sucker me into grabbing the bundle instead.
A Mirror Bundle definitely has my attention. What ships are available though and their stats are obviously important to how any bundle sells. Personally, I would like to see the Mirror Connie as the 5th ship. What I really think needs to be included though, is the Mirror Intrepid interior or at least bridge. If it's in a mission, then they should be able to clone and allocate a map as a bridge as well. I like hte Terran uniforms from the new mission but the T6 ship token really goes into them adding in stuff I don't want in a bundle. If these were sellable on the Exchange or possible to give to another player. Then at least that would be a little bit of a compromise.
I think the mission pod from the mirror Enterprise would look good on my sojourner, should I cross my fingers that they will have that available at some point?
If I could get a tac-focused Intrepid-line ship, I'd be very happy; I love the design, but I just don't have much fun with sci. A tac-focused Galaxy would be nice as well, but not as important; my Mirror Gal-X is reasonably close.
But my interest is probably irrelevant. If there's no way to buy the ships individually, I'm out of luck. Like TRIBBLE I'm shelling out for one of the giant bundles. Do you know how many books I could buy for that?
I have only purchased a couple smaller bundles in the past. I did not purchase the 10th anniversary bundle because only half the ships interested me. I do have 2 mirror captains. One captain I created with oddball kitbash variations from regular Fed ships to try to make them evil looking. My 2nd Mirror captain has actual mirror ships. I also purchased on the exchange the old yellow mirror versions of sabre and nova class ships to put their skins on the newer t6 versions. Now with a mirror bundle I can add to my 2nd mirror captains fleet depending on the the price and of course and what fluff is being offered. I am interested in the new terran uniforms, since i do have all the other terran/mirror uniforms. Mirror barbie wants it all. So hopefully there will be a sale on the bundle when its released, as in past practice, plus a zen sale at the same time and maybe that will drop the price low enough that I will crack open my wallet and not end up with buyers remorse. Then let the mirror war begin. [lower case "m" lower case "w" )
I don't think the other ship is going to be anything to do with Discovery. Chances are, the "only available in lock box" (Mirror Crossfield was an Infinity Promo, not a lock box - noticable difference) is a T6 updated variant of the T5 mirror ships that have been around forever. And likely it's one of the ones that's had an update to its models (so Nova, Cheyenne, Saber, or Sovereign). I'm leaning Nova personally, but that's just me...
Fairly sure the other two in this package are the mirror Reliant and the mirror Yorktown.
I still think the Mirror Uniform they'll give is more like we see Marshall Janeway wearing in the most recent episode; so a no arms Odyssey variation. Still I'm more positive than some here, simply as these are not only ships with new skin variations; yet also console choice, Ships Stations, as well as new Specializations too.
I mean the one Lockbox Ship, or slight variation of it being Mirror (possibly with original starship trait) + another be alright. I'm just hoping the bundle is more affordable, or can be acquired separately. If they do that I'd expect the Lockbox Ship to likely have the highest cost of all. I'm not quite sure this will be a Legendary Bundle, given several ships already have legendary Ships of that class.
Possibly more teasers coming soon, so I'll wait and see what those say...

Currently, there are two Mirror Lockbox Ships, the Mirror Strike Wing Escort (the older of the two) and the Mirror Warship (the DIS'd version of the Defiant). There are plenty of Mirror T5s that could get the T6 treatment, but there's to many to squeeze into the one Lockbox Ship slot ).
I get the feeling I'm gonna regret buying Voyager J which I bought because the legendary voyager wasn't very warship like.
But what if you can use that Warship Voyager skin on the tactical focused Mirror Intrepid? Then, you have a combination I think a lot of people will be very happy to use.

I think we're all pretty much convinced it will be a Mirror Engle/Earhart. Which was a lockbox ship and carried the desired Ship Trait SAD. So one of the carrots in this bundle will likely be Account Unlock Superior Area Denial.
I still think the Mirror Uniform they'll give is more like we see Marshall Janeway wearing in the most recent episode; so a no arms Odyssey variation.
I mean Janeway and Killy are basically just wearing the Male Terran Odyssey top. Which seems a rather minor change to call a new uniform set. (although they have done it before, with Open Jackets, ripped tunics, and I notice the Lower Decks Uniform doesn't have Becket's rolled up sleeves)
Yeah, I think they are still selling way to many Lockbox keys and seeing way too much Styx turnover on the Exchange to give that one as an account unlock just yet.
Honestly I only want the Inqusitor uniform, which on it's own should only cost 550 Zen, the bundle can keep the other stuff as those don't really pique my interest.

The one thing the tweet clearly states is exclusive to the bundle is whatever uniforms they are including:
Five Tier 6 Mirror Ships. Four brand new variants, one ship that was previously only available in a lock box. Exclusive Terran uniforms, a free Zen Store ship, and much more. The 12th Anniversary Terran Bundle is coming.
Definitely feeling wait and see. The 10th anniversary bundle was dang near perfect - lots of ships that reflected various Star Trek series. The 11th anniversary I was a little reluctant at first but the legendaries were the ships i liked to play and the klingons getting some legendaries was nice. right now its all "eh?" until i see more
There aren't exactly a lot of options. Mirror Warship, Engle, or Styx. That's it.
There are T5 mirror versions of certain ships as well. The Sovereign, Luna, Saber, and Nova all have T6 variants that could be Terran-ized. It could very well be one of these.
LOL no, I won't be buying a high priced pack just to get a new skin option for ships I already have
But for those that will, I sincerely hope you enjoy the ships
By that logic, changing the layout and stats of the ship doesn't make it new. Doesn't that mean every ship you buy past the first one is a new skin for the ship you already have?

The “math” only adds up if you accept that the filler has value. As I said— at least for me, I do not believe it has any value.
Well, Space Barbie is the true end game, so costumes by definition have as much value as ships...

The filler we're talking about isn't the costumes or ship skins, it's the random junk they throw in just to inflate the price. Things like the following from last year's bundle:
Did they post the stats yet somewhere? I mean its been quiet a few days that they revealed 2 ships but no post or anything as far as I can see...
if i recall, they dont post anything until all ships have been revealed.
They usually post stats for each ship as they are revealed, and they also usually release a blog when they first announce the bundle with pricing, dates, and all the filler junk listed. They're really dropping the ball with this one, which makes me think they don't have any confidence in the bundle being a success.

To some it's even more valuable than the ships,
