Open hailing frequencies to your wallet, because after a brief tease<\/a> during\u00a0Star Trek Day, it\u2019s finally here\u2014Lego\u2019s first-ever<\/a> official Star Trek set, celebrating one of the most beloved Starfleet flagships<\/a> of all time.<\/p>\n

This morning Lego confirmed what many had expected after that brief tease of a minifigure Captain Picard a few months ago: it\u2019s boldly going into the world of\u00a0Star Trek with a replica of the USS Enterprise-D<\/a>, as seen in\u00a0The Next Generation. Clocking in at 3,600 pieces, the scale replica of the\u00a0Enterprise-D is a faithful representation of the Galaxy-class starship, including a detachable saucer section<\/a> to recreate the ship\u2019s ability to separate into two autonomous craft and even a tiny little opening shuttle bay on the rear of the saucer, which houses two miniscule shuttlepods. Once built, including its stand, the model is around 10.5 inches tall, 23.5 inches long, and 18.5 inches wide.<\/p>\n

Of course, aside from the stand featuring the technical data of the Enterprise-D (and angled so you can pose the ship in flight as it was often seen in\u00a0TNG), the set also features nine minifigures recreating the primary cast of the show. You\u2019ll get the previously teased Captain Jean-Luc Picard alongside Data, Geordi La Forge, Will Riker, Deanna Troi, Beverly Crusher, Worf, Guinan, and Will Crusher (yes, he\u2019s wearing the jumper). As well as a separate display stand, they\u2019ll also all come with a series of thematic accessories, from general Starfleet kit like a phaser, tricorder, PADD, or an engineering kit and a portable tractor beam generator, to some more character-specific touches, like a teacup for Picard, Riker\u2019s trombone, a bottle for Guinan (it\u2019s green, so maybe Aldebaran whiskey?), and Spot the cat for Data. D\u2019aaw!<\/p>\n

Star Trek may live in a post-scarcity economic utopia, but alas, we don\u2019t, which means you will have to cough up $400 if you want your own Enterprise-D when it releases on November 28\u2014and gold-pressed Latinum is not an acceptable alternative, before you try your best Quark.<\/p>\n

In Ferengi spirit, perhaps then, Lego will sweeten the deal if you purchase the set online or from a Lego store between November 28 and December 1: a buildable 261-piece replica of one of the Enterprise\u2018s Type-15 shuttlepods (specifically the\u00a0Onizuka). The shuttle will include an opening rear hatch and even an LCARS system displaying an amazing deep cut: the stardate 45076.3, dating it to the season five episode \u201cEnsign Ro,\u201d so it\u2019s only fitting that the bonus also includes a minifigure of the feisty Bajoran ensign<\/a>, Ro Laren.<\/p>\n

The Lego Icons\u00a0Star Trek: The Next Generation USS Enterprise-D will be available to preorder here<\/a> later this month.<\/p>\n
