Lego boldly goes into the Star Trek universe with $400, 3,600-piece Enterprise-D



Star Trek fans who have long envied the Star Wars franchise’s collaboration with Lego are finally getting something to celebrate: Lego is introducing a version of Star Trek’s USS Enterprise, specifically the Enterprise-D from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Because we don’t live in the post-money utopian society of the 24th century, the kit will cost you, and unfortunately, it’s priced well into the for-superfans-only zone. The 3,600-piece starship and collection of minifigs will run you $400 when the set officially leaves spacedock on November 28.

Though the Enterprise-D is far from our favorite Enterprise, it does make sense as a starting point for the Lego Group. The Next Generation‘s seven-year run in the late ’80s and early ’90s represents a creative and cultural peak for the franchise, and a 2010s-era remaster that painstakingly re-scanned and upgraded all of the original footage and effects for high-definition TVs has kept the old episodes looking fresher than other ’90s Trek shows like Deep Space Nine and Voyager.

As a Star Trek and Lego aficionado, I appreciate the company’s typical attention to detail, especially in the nine included minifigs (Picard, Riker, Data, Crusher, Troi, Worf, and Geordi are all here, plus Guinan and Wesley, though fans of Dr. Pulaski will be disappointed to hear she isn’t included). Each includes a thematically appropriate accessory, from Worf’s phaser to Riker’s trombone. The ship’s saucer section can also separate from the rest of the ship, and the attention to detail for logos and decals is still strong.
