Kit includes the ship and accessory-toting minifigs of the Enterprise crew.
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.

Never a huge Star Trek fan but that is really cool.
Same here, but I've always been into Legos and puzzles!
My son has quite a large collection of the super mario legos.
That's dope. I think they're the best toys because they seriously boost your brain development.
Great for bonding time as well. I like building legos with the kiddos. My daughter has a bunch of small sets too.
Yeah. When I'm with the kids and Lego, I'm the one who feels like a kid! ~lol
YAS! Do want! Someone give me the money and I'll build it for you. 😁
Haha, I charge half of what you charge!
This will be a huge seller and probably a good collector's item in the future.
Ages ago i made a post looking at lego as a store of value and it's pretty interesting to see how it holds value over time

I’m wondering if it’s possible to confirm sales that happened in the secondary LEGO market, or if the prices are just whatever the sellers want them to be.
Oh wow, that is pretty great. They also started making some One Piece sets.
Ugh.
I still have to get it, though. Sorry, my wallet.
I was in a store that sold Lego packs and model kits yesterday. How can printed pieces of plastic cost that much?
The factory's in Denmark! ahahha
