All LEGO Star Trek Sets So Far: Three Builds Across Two Enterprises
Share
The LEGO Star Trek sets released so far form a compact collection, but they cover an unusually wide range of building experiences. AustrianBrickFan brings the complete trio together in one continuous speed-build compilation: the large U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D, the small Type-15 Shuttlepod, and the newly revealed U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 Bridge. Seen in sequence, the three models show how one license can move from starship sculpture to minifigure-scale support craft and finally to an interior scene built around characters and functions.
That contrast is the real attraction of this LEGO Star Trek collection. It is not simply three versions of the same idea. Each build approaches Starfleet from a different scale and asks the builder to focus on different design problems: shaping a famous hull, compressing a recognizable vehicle, or turning a television set into a display that still offers movement and play.

10356 U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D sets the scale
The compilation opens with LEGO Icons 10356 Star Trek: U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D, the 3,600-piece centerpiece that launched LEGO's official Star Trek range. Its broad saucer, narrow neck, secondary hull, and long warp nacelles create a difficult combination of sweeping curves and slim connections. The model handles those proportions as a display sculpture rather than reducing the ship to a conventional playset.
Its detachable command saucer and opening shuttlebay give the construction more purpose than a static silhouette alone. Two mini shuttlepods add another layer of scale, while the angled stand presents the ship as if it is already under way. The nine-character lineup places Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Riker, Worf, Data, Beverly Crusher, Geordi La Forge, Deanna Troi, Guinan, and Wesley Crusher beside the ship on a separate display tile. That division works well: the vessel retains its clean profile, while the crew still receives a visible place in the finished arrangement.
For MOC builders, the Enterprise-D is a study in controlling visual weight. The saucer must feel dominant without making the engineering section look fragile. Repeated light-gray surfaces also need subtle panel lines and color breaks to prevent a very large model from reading as flat. Watching the structure accumulate in a speed build makes those layers easier to appreciate.
40768 Type-15 Shuttlepod brings the collection to minifigure scale
The Type-15 Shuttlepod changes the pace completely. Released as a limited gift with purchase alongside 10356, the compact craft represents the Onizuka and includes an Ensign Ro Laren minifigure. Opening wing doors and a rear hatch turn a small support vehicle into a self-contained scene, while the interior includes an LCARS display with a Romulan spacecraft schematic.
Its value inside the collection is partly about scale. The Enterprise-D is a large exterior display, but the shuttlepod allows a figure to inhabit the Star Trek world directly. Builders interested in custom spacecraft can take a useful lesson from that compression: a tiny footprint can still communicate function when the entrance, controls, seating, and hull markings are clearly prioritized.
11385 U.S.S. Enterprise Bridge turns architecture into action
The third build shifts from The Next Generation to the original U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701. Set 11385 contains 1,701 pieces and recreates both the bridge and transporter room as modular sections. It is an interior-first model, using the familiar ring of computer stations, the central command position, and bold color blocking to establish the setting.
Three mechanisms give the display a theatrical quality. The captain's chair can rock to simulate turbulence, a dial operates the transporter effect, and a lever opens the turbolift doors. Those functions are closely tied to recognizable Star Trek moments, so they feel less like added gadgets and more like compact storytelling tools.
The eight minifigures are James T. Kirk, Spock, Nyota Uhura, Hikaru Sulu, Leonard McCoy, Pavel Chekov, Christine Chapel, and Montgomery Scott. Four tribbles and character-specific accessories add smaller details around the main architecture. Unlike the Enterprise-D, this set treats the crew as the center of the composition and the ship as the environment around them.
What the full speed-build collection reveals
Placed together, the three LEGO Star Trek sets form a useful scale comparison. The Enterprise-D communicates identity through exterior geometry. The shuttlepod relies on compact functionality. The Enterprise bridge uses space planning, color, minifigures, and simple mechanisms to recreate drama. That variety makes the collection more interesting than a shelf of similarly scaled ships.
It also offers three different routes for custom builders. A starship MOC can focus on profile and structural balance, a small craft can concentrate on efficient interior packing, and a scene build can use modular wedges to frame a cast of figures. AustrianBrickFan's compilation makes those differences visible without breaking the flow between projects.
Final Thoughts
All LEGO Star Trek sets so far make a small but coherent collection: one flagship display, one intimate support craft, and one character-driven command center. The speed-build format highlights how dramatically the building language changes between them. For collectors, the trio covers both major Enterprise eras. For MOC designers, it is a concise lesson in translating the same science-fiction universe across radically different scales.
