Lego has unveiled its second Star Trek set, this time recreating the bridge of the original USS Enterprise NCC-1701 from the 1960s TV series. The set includes eight all-new minifigures and a transporter room, offering a detailed homage to the classic show.
Set Details and Minifigures
The model comprises 1,701 Lego pieces and measures 57cm wide, 34cm deep, and 9cm high. It features the iconic bridge layout with a captain's chair that rocks back and forth to simulate attacks, turbo lift doors with a hidden lever, and a viewscreen displaying a Klingon. The transporter room includes a dial to teleport minifigures. The eight minifigures are Captain Kirk, Spock, Uhura, Sulu, McCoy, Chekov, Nurse Chapel, and Scotty, each authentically detailed with accessories like phasers, communicators, Spock's harp, and a Vulcan lirpa.
Episode References and Modular Design
The set includes references to individual episodes, such as a fencing rapier for Sulu from "The Naked Time," dilithium crystals for Scotty, and four Tribbles. The presence of Chekov places the set in the third season. The design is modular, allowing rearrangement of the viewscreen and transporter room for display flexibility.
Release and Pricing
Set #11385 costs £159.99 in the UK and launches on September 1, coinciding with the 60th anniversary of Star Trek. Pre-orders are available now on the Lego website and at retail stores. According to Lego, this is the second Star Trek set after last year's Enterprise-D model, with hopes for more franchise-themed sets in the future.
