The LEGO Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 Bridge recreates the bridge and transporter room from the original television series in a 1,701-piece build, a reference to the starship's registry number. Designed for display and interaction, the set features a rocking captain's chair that simulates turbulence, a functioning transporter mechanism that materializes minifigures, and a lever-operated turbo lift door. A bridge viewscreen depicting a Klingon warrior completes the scene.
The set includes eight minifigures representing the original bridge crew: Kirk, Spock, Uhura, Sulu, McCoy, Chekov, Christine Chapel, and Scotty. Accessories include Spock's harp, two Vulcan Lirpas, a Trident Scanner, four newly molded phasers, printed Starfleet communicator tiles, and four tribbles. Measuring 57 centimeters wide and 34 centimeters deep, the display model will retail for $199.99, with pre-orders beginning July 23 ahead of its September 1 release
