LEGO did not pick this date at random. The original Star Trek series was first broadcast on 8 September 1966, and this set is released on 1 September 2026, one week before the exact sixtieth anniversary, with the official 60th anniversary logo on the box. We reported it at the end of July: the bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise is coming in bricks, and even the piece count is a reference, 1,701 pieces for the NCC-1701.

The heart of the ship, not its hull

LEGO's choice is interesting: you are not buying a model of the ship, you are buying its heart. The full bridge, with the transporter room as a bonus. The set is built in modular sections that can be arranged freely: opened out to show the interior, or closed up. It is a model aimed at adults, designed for a shelf or a desk.

Recognisable from the series at first sight

The walls alternate between grey and the mauve typical of the sixties, the consoles are covered in multicoloured dials, and the seats follow the design of the period. In the centre, the captain's chair dominates the bridge, and at the back, the large main viewscreen shows a Klingon warrior. Kirk's chair can also tilt, to recreate the well-known shaking scenes from the series.

The features do not stop there. A lever opens the turbolift doors, through which the crew reaches the bridge. And in the transporter room, the portals rotate to make two crew members disappear at once, as in the series. These are simple mechanisms, but they turn a static scene into a small stage set.

Eight minifigures, the full crew

Here LEGO has been generous: James T. Kirk, Spock, Leonard McCoy, Nyota Uhura, Montgomery Scott, Pavel Chekov, Hikaru Sulu and Christine Chapel. The three uniform colours of the series are all present: gold for command, blue for sciences and red for operations. The accessories are detailed: Spock's harp, two Vulcan lirpas, a trident scanner, four phasers, and four tribbles, the small furry creatures that overran the Enterprise. One regret, though, about the faces, which are fairly generic: without the uniforms, you would not necessarily recognise the actors.

Two drawbacks to know before buying

The first: most of the decoration comes from stickers. There are around forty of them, with only a few printed pieces. On a display set at this level, that is open to serious debate.

The second: there is no base. The scene does not sit on a baseplate, and the sections are placed side by side with nothing to hold them together. On a shelf, nothing should move. But every time you move it, you will have to do it section by section, carefully.

The price: you pay for the licence

Our price index puts this set close to the median price per piece of the whole LEGO catalogue, but above the median of its own Icons range.

Is this specific to this set? The other large LEGO Star Trek set in the catalogue, the huge Enterprise D with its 3,600 pieces, has exactly the same price per piece. So it is not this set that is badly priced: it is the Star Trek licence that costs extra.

Our verdict

What we like

The 1,701 pieces, a nod to the NCC-1701 registry
The eight minifigures and their accessories taken from the series
The transporter portals, the turbolift and the tilting chair
The release timed for the 60th anniversary, with the logo on the box

What we regret

Around forty stickers, with few printed pieces
No base: the sections are not joined together
Fairly generic faces
A price per piece above the Icons range median

If you grew up with the original series, or want to mark the franchise's sixtieth anniversary, this is the most direct choice: the most iconic setting of the series, the full cast, and features that work well. But buy it knowing the drawbacks: the stickers, the lack of a base and a price above the median of its range. If you prefer display models of starships, the Enterprise D fits that category, at more than double the price.

The set is available to pre-order from the official LEGO shop, for release on 1 September 2026. Offers from partner shops will be added after launch, and our price comparison will keep a continuous price history.
