Lego’s Star Wars partnership helped the company endure financial uncertainty in the late ‘90s, but for the first time it’s announcing a collaboration with that other iconic space franchise. Lego’s first Star Trek set is a 3,600 piece replica of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D from Star Trek: The Next Generation measuring nearly two-feet long. It will be available starting on November 28th from Lego’s online and brick-and-mortar stores for $399.99, and if purchased before December 1st, it will come with an additional set featuring a Star Trek: Type-15 Shuttlepod.
The Enterprise NCC-1701-D model features a detachable command saucer, a pair of warp nacelles with “distinctive red and blue detailing,†a shuttlebay that opens with a pair of miniature shuttlepods, and an angled display stand with a plaque listing details about the spacecraft including when it first was first launched and where it was built.
Making the $400 set even more tempting is a truly stellar lineup of nine Lego minifigures that each come with notable accessories from the TV series. Captain Jean-Luc Picard has a teacup, Commander William Riker includes a trombone, Lieutenant Commander Data is joined by his cat Spot, Lieutenant Worf brandishes a phaser, and Wesley Crusher uses a portable tractor beam generator. The other minifigures include Counsellor Deanna Troi, bartender Guinan, Dr. Beverly Crusher, and Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge with a tricorder, engineering case, and PADD tablet.
