Lego has unveiled its first-ever Star Trek set, marking a significant fusion of two iconic brands. According to a press release from Lego, this set allows builders to craft a detailed replica of the iconic starship, featuring a detachable command saucer, secondary hull, and warp nacelles highlighted by distinctive red and blue detailing.

The model includes an opening shuttlebay and two mini shuttlepods, making it perfect for recreating classic scenes from the franchise. In total, the set comes with nine mini-figures representing beloved characters from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

These characters include Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Commander William Riker, Lieutenant Worf, Lieutenant Commander Data, Dr. Beverly Crusher, Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge, Counsellor Deanna Troi, bartender Guinan, and Wesley Crusher.

This extensive character lineup is designed to enhance the building experience for fans of the series. The set is priced at $399.99 and will be available for purchase on Lego's website and in select stores.

Orders are set to ship on November 28th. This release not only highlights Lego's innovative approach to merging popular culture with construction toys but also appeals to both fans of Star Trek and collectors alike.

The collaboration showcases how Lego continues to expand its product offerings to engage diverse audiences and build on the nostalgia associated with beloved franchises. The report states that this new set could potentially attract a new generation of builders who might be interested in both Lego and Star Trek, further solidifying Lego's position in the toy industry as a leader in creative play.

Sources indicate that the set is likely to be a hit during the holiday season, given the enduring popularity of both brands.
