Lego Launches Star Trek: The Next Generation U.S.S. Enterprise D Set

Lego has once again captivated science fiction enthusiasts with the introduction of its latest creation: a meticulously designed model of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D from the renowned series, Star Trek: The Next Generation. This significant release is celebrated with a unique rendition of the show's opening sequence, reimagined with Lego minifigures and bricks, and humorously narrated by Jonathan Frakes, who famously portrayed Commander William Riker.

This impressive set, comprising 3,600 individual pieces, represents a substantial building challenge, offering a detailed replica that stands as a testament to the iconic starship. What sets this model apart is its innovative modular construction, allowing the command saucer to be detached, simplifying both the assembly process and transportation. The set boasts intricate details, including a shuttle bay complete with two mini shuttlepods, vibrant red and blue accents on the warp nacelles, and a collection of nine distinct minifigures, each accompanied by their signature accessories. These figures include Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Commander William Riker, Lieutenant Worf, Lieutenant Commander Data with Spot the cat, Dr. Beverly Crusher, Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge, Counselor Deanna Troi, Bartender Guinan, and Wesley Crusher.

The U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D set is priced at $399.99 and will be available for purchase through Lego's official website and stores starting November 28. As an exclusive incentive for early buyers, those who acquire the set between November 28 and December 1 will also receive a bonus Type-15 Shuttlepod build, which includes an additional Ensign Ro Laren minifigure, bringing the total number of minifigures to ten. This makes the set a perfect holiday gift for fans and collectors, inviting them to embark on their own interstellar construction adventure.

The launch of this detailed Lego set not only celebrates the enduring legacy of Star Trek: The Next Generation but also encourages creativity and attention to detail among builders. It serves as a reminder that with dedication and precision, complex and beloved fictional elements can be brought to life, inspiring fans to connect with their passions in new and tangible ways.
