LEGO is returning to Star Trek with a set that trades the USS Enterprise-D for the original ship’s command center. The Star Trek: USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) Bridge set contains 1,701 pieces, including four tribbles, and was shown to San Diego Comic-Con attendees at LEGO’s booth.

The LEGO Icons set recreates both the bridge and transporter room. Builders can rock the captain’s chair to simulate space turbulence and battle scenes, turn a dial to beam crew members from the transporter pads, and push a lever to open the turbo-lift doors. A screen displays a Klingon warrior.
“Recreate the transporter room and the bridge, complete with computer stations and a screen showing a Klingon warrior. Rock the captain’s chair to simulate space turbulence and bracing battle scenes. Turn a dial to beam crew members from the transporter pads and push a lever to swish open the turbo-lift doors.”
The set includes eight minifigures: James T. Kirk, Spock, Nyota Uhura, Hikaru Sulu, Leonard McCoy, Pavel Chekov, Christine Chapel, and Montgomery Scott. Accessories include Spock’s harp, two Vulcan lirpas—a traditional Vulcan weapon—and a Trident Scanner.
At $199, it is slightly smaller and cheaper than last year’s 3,600-piece Enterprise-D set. The new model is available to pre-order from LEGO and ships September 1, as the franchise approaches its 60th anniversary in 2026.
