Overview of the Launch
On November 28, 2025, LEGO officially released the LEGO Icons Star Trek: U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D set, coinciding with Black Friday. This marks the first official LEGO set based on the Star Trek franchise, celebrating nearly 60 years of the iconic series. The set consists of 3,600 pieces and features intricate details, including a detachable command saucer, secondary hull, warp nacelles, and an opening shuttlebay. It also includes nine minifigures representing the crew of Star Trek: The Next Generation, each equipped with unique accessories.
Product Details and Pricing
The U.S.S. Enterprise-D set is priced at $399.99 in the United States, €379.99 in Europe, and £349.99 in the UK. For Black Friday orders placed between November 28 and December 1, customers receive a bonus 261-piece Type 15 shuttlepod, which comes with an Ensign Ro Laren minifigure. The shuttlepod features openable wing doors and a rear hatch, enhancing the playability of the set. The model, when displayed on its angled stand, measures over 10.5 inches tall, 23.5 inches long, and 18.5 inches wide.
Availability and Demand
Following the launch, initial stock of the U.S.S. Enterprise-D quickly sold out across online LEGO stores in the USA, UK, and EU, prompting backorders. LEGO has indicated that new stock will be available to fulfill these backorders by February 2026. However, the bonus shuttlepods will not be included with backorders. Some physical LEGO stores still have stock available, allowing fans to purchase the set in person.
Criticism & Opposition
While the release has been largely celebrated by fans, some collectors expressed concerns about the high price point and the limited availability of the bonus shuttlepod. Critics argue that the exclusivity of the promotional items may disadvantage those unable to purchase the set during the Black Friday window.
Official Statements & Responses
LEGO's announcement of the Star Trek partnership was made on Star Trek Day in September 2025, generating excitement among fans. The company described the U.S.S. Enterprise-D as a “captivating sci-fi decor piece,” inviting both Star Trek and LEGO enthusiasts to engage in a creative building experience.
