The recent Star Trek Day brought a wave of announcements, but one stood out as truly stellar, the official reveal of a Lego Star Trek collaboration. A brief but exciting teaser showcased a Lego minifigure of Captain Jean-Luc Picard materializing in a transporter room, decked out in his unmistakable Next Generation uniform. Klingon script at the end of the clip translated to “coming soon,” hinting at the rich universe this partnership aims to explore.
While this marks the first time Lego and Star Trek have joined forces, specific details about the sets remain under wraps. The possibilities, however, are vast. Enthusiasts can imagine constructing everything from the Enterprise-D and Borg Cubes to Klingon Bird-of-Prey vessels. Though the initial teaser suggests a Next Generation focus, fans across all eras, from the original series to Voyager, Deep Space Nine, and Discovery, are eager to see their favorite ships and stations in brick form.
Meanwhile, Lego’s established sci-fi line, Star Wars, continues to capture imaginations. The recently unveiled Ultimate Collector Series Death Star model is a monumental release, boasting over 9,000 pieces. It ranks as the largest Star Wars Lego set and the fifth-biggest overall, allowing builders to assemble a detailed mobile battle station capable of crushing any rebellion.
Priced at $1,000, the Death Star set launches on October 4, though Lego Insiders members gain early access starting October 1. For those seeking more budget-friendly options, several smaller Star Wars sets are currently available. The festive Gingerbread AT-AT Walker offers a holiday twist on the iconic vehicle, and a Star Wars Advent Calendar is now on sale for just $38 at retailers like Walmart and Amazon.
In other Lego news, a limited-time promotion offers a free Sega Genesis controller replica with purchases of $130 or more from the online store. This charming brick-built controller, typically priced at $20, includes a micro-scale Sonic the Hedgehog scene inspired by the Green Hill Zone, a nostalgic treat for retro gaming fans.
