Among the many announcements made during the recent Star Trek Day, the unveiling of an official Lego Star Trek collaboration stands out as a highlight. A brief initial teaser showcased a Lego minifigure of the iconic Starfleet captain, Jean-Luc Picard, being transported into a transporter room, complete with his classic Star Trek: The Next Generation uniform. The teaser concluded with Klingon script, which translates to `coming soon`, building anticipation for the new sets.
This groundbreaking partnership marks the first official collaboration between Lego and Star Trek, though specific details regarding the upcoming sets are yet to be disclosed. The potential for impressive builds is immense, ranging from the Starship Enterprise (TNG version) to formidable Borg Cubes, Klingon warships, and other iconic elements. While the initial reveal suggests a focus on The Next Generation, fans across various Star Trek eras—including the Classic Series, Voyager, Deep Space Nine, and Discovery—would undoubtedly welcome sets inspired by their favorite shows.
