LEGO Beams Down a Second Star Trek Set

LEGO just unveiled its second-ever Star Trek set, and this time it’s not another ship exterior — it’s the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 Bridge (11385), a 1,701-piece recreation of the original series’ bridge and transporter room. Yes, the piece count matching the ship’s registry number is a deliberate LEGO touch, and it’s the kind of detail that makes a licensed set feel designed by people who actually watched the show. It’s up for pre-order now, at LEGO’s SDCC 2026 booth alongside the Donkey Kong Arcade and a Smart Play Gateway experience.

Why It Matters for Dads

If your Star Trek fandom starts with Kirk, Spock and “Beam me up,” this is the set that was missing. LEGO’s first Star Trek release, the Enterprise-D (10356), covered the Next Generation era exterior — an impressive shelf piece, but a ship you look at, not a bridge you populate. The Bridge (11385) flips that: eight new minifigures (Kirk, Spock, Uhura, Sulu, McCoy, Chekov, Chapel and Scotty, plus four tribbles) sit at real stations, the captain’s chair actually rocks, a dial spins crew through the transporter effect, and the turbo lift doors open on a lever. That’s a play pattern, not just a display one — the difference that decides whether a licensed set earns actual shelf time with your kids versus gathering dust.

At $199.99 for 1,701 pieces it’s a fair Icons-line price, and it lands right as Star Trek hits its 60th anniversary (the original series premiered in September 1966) — good timing if you’re weighing this as a milestone-birthday gift for the Trekkie in the house. It also pairs naturally with our best LEGO sets for adult pop-culture fans guide if you’re building out a wider display shelf.

What’s Next

Pre-orders are live now on LEGO.com, with shipping from September 1. If the Enterprise-D exterior caught your eye first, it’s already sitting on Amazon (see the Enterprise-D (10356) here) so you can start the display pairing today rather than waiting on the Bridge. We’ll build the Bridge and put the transporter mechanism through its paces once it ships — and we’re curious whether LEGO plans a third Star Trek set to round out the collection. For everything else breaking out of San Diego Comic-Con this week, see our SDCC 2026 preview.

The Dadnology Take

A licensed set built around play, not just display, at a fair price for the piece count — and the 1,701-piece nod to the ship’s registry number is a nice touch. Combined with the already-available Enterprise-D, LEGO is building a genuine Star Trek shelf faster than we expected. We’ll confirm the transporter gimmick holds up once we’ve built it ourselves.

When does the LEGO Star Trek Bridge (11385) release?

It’s available to pre-order now (from July 23, 2026) and ships from September 1, 2026.

How much does the LEGO Star Trek Bridge cost?

$199.99 / £159.99 / €179.99 for the 1,701-piece set, which includes 8 minifigures and 4 tribbles.

Is the LEGO Star Trek Bridge the same as the Enterprise-D set?

No. The Enterprise-D (10356) was the first LEGO Star Trek set and models the TNG-era ship’s exterior. The Bridge (11385) is the second set, and it recreates the interior bridge and transporter room of the original 1960s Enterprise instead.
