Made from 3,600 pieces, the [first-ever] Star Trek inspired Lego set is of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D, the spaceship that serves as the main setting of Star Trek: The Next Generation series, which ran for seven seasons, as well as the 1994 film, Star Trek Generations.

> "[It] allows builders to craft a detailed replica of the iconic starship, complete with a detachable command saucer, secondary hull, and warp nacelles with distinctive red and blue detailing," according to a press release from Lego. "The model also features an opening shuttlebay and two mini shuttlepods, perfect for recreating classic scenes." The set comes with nine mini-figures of Star Trek: The Next Generation characters, including 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.
The set will be [3]sold on Lego's website and in stores for $399.99, with orders shipping on November 28th.

First thing after building it.. (Score:2)
..would be rebuilding it into a variant of the Nebula or Helios class of my own design, which I think looks much better.
Just like the last model I bought back in 1996, the Black Cat truck. Bought it with the plans to turn it into a more realistic model, which I finally did 22 years later and it looks great even if I say so myself. I've only seen one other rebuild ike it on the net.
Wow that's expensive (Score:2)
Yes it's more detailed than my Mega blocks version, but 400 dollars is a lot of money in canadian pesos
Original lego bricks. (Score:2)
All I want for Christmas is a giant box of original style Lego bricks like I had a kid in the 1960's. With that answer a Meccano set my life would be complete.
Old Skool (Score:3)
Call me old skool, but Legos were my favorite "toy" growing up and those sets were far more "generic". You build anything and everything, not just whatever a set was designed for... that kinda came later. Anyway, it is more fun and educational, using your imagination than it is just building a predetermined "model". I spent endless hours making stuff.
Don't get me wrong, I am a super STTNG fan and think this kit is awesome. I mean, it even has Spot! (But I also won't be forking out that much money for some plastic blocks).
