Star Trek: The Next Generation had a huge impact on the generation that grew up in the 1990s. I watched every episode with my mom. At a friend’s house, a large cardboard cutout of Captain Jean-Luc Picard welcomed us in the hallway. I followed Wil Wheaton, who played Wesley Crusher, on social media well into adulthood. My son is even named Wesley—though my husband believes it’s after the explorer John Wesley Powell.
This year’s big Christmas gift for my family is clear. Lego has unveiled the Icons Star Trek: U.S.S. Enterprise set, a detailed replica with 3,600 pieces. It includes nine minifigures, each equipped with a unique accessory.
The Crew Included
- Jean-Luc Picard
- William Riker
- Worf
- Data
- Geordi La Forge
- Deanna Troi
- Beverly Crusher
- Wesley Crusher
- The bartender, played by Whoopi Goldberg
The bartender was a character I didn’t fully understand as a child since I didn’t know what bars were back then.
Star Trek: The Next Generation made a lasting impression on many of us who grew up in the 90s.
Editorial note: This set offers a nostalgic and highly detailed tribute to a beloved sci-fi series, perfect for fans and collectors alike.
Summary: A detailed 3,600-piece Lego set of the U.S.S. Enterprise with key Next Generation characters promises a nostalgic gift embodying decades of Star Trek fandom.
