I Really, Really Want the 3,600-Piece Lego U.S.S. Enterprise
The new Lego Icons Star Trek: U.S.S. Enterprise set, priced at $400, includes 3,600 pieces and nine detailed minifigures of the main Next Generation crew—Picard, Riker, Worf, Data, Geordi La Forge, Deanna Troi, Beverly and Wesley Crusher, and Guinan.
Each minifigure comes with its own accessory, such as Wesley Crusher’s portable tractor beam. This collector’s set celebrates a show that left a lasting mark on the 1990s generation.
“It is impossible to overstate just how big an impact Star Trek: The Next Generation had on an entire generation of kids growing up in the 1990s.”
The author recalls watching every episode with their mother and seeing a life-size cardboard cutout of Captain Jean-Luc Picard at a friend’s house. They also note following actor Wil Wheaton, who played Wesley Crusher, on social media into adulthood.
In a personal twist, the writer reveals their son is named Wesley—though their husband believes the name came from explorer John Wesley Powell. This deep personal connection makes the new Lego set a fitting choice for their family’s big Christmas gift this year.
Author’s Summary
A nostalgic tribute connecting childhood memories of Star Trek: The Next Generation with the excitement of Lego’s new 3,600-piece U.S.S. Enterprise set.
