Lego Confirms Star Trek: The Next Generation Set — Picard Beamed Aboard as Minifigure in Official Instagram Tease
Lego has confirmed it is working on a set based on Star Trek: The Next Generation, showing a minifigure of Captain Jean-Luc Picard appearing in the Enterprise’s transporter room in an official Instagram post. The image shows the transporter resolving a full-size human but ending with a smiling Picard minifigure, and the post uses the hashtag #StarTrek60.
- What happened: Lego posted an image hinting at a Next Generation set on Instagram.
- Key detail: The post shows the Enterprise transporter room and a Picard minifigure.
- Timing: The post used #StarTrek60, suggesting a release tied to the franchise’s 60th anniversary in 2026.
- Context: An earlier image leak displayed the Enterprise-D and crew figures, and other Star Trek 60th events are already announced.
What Lego revealed
The Instagram image from Lego depicts the Enterprise transporter room as it beams aboard a tiny minifigure of Captain Jean-Luc Picard. It does not show a full product list, price, or release date.
Details shown
The visible elements in the post are the transporter pad, a resolving human silhouette, and the resulting Picard minifigure. Lego included the tag #StarTrek60, but provided no further specifications.
Timeline and release expectations
Because the Instagram post used #StarTrek60, the set is likely to be associated with Star Trek’s 60th anniversary in 2026. The first episode of Star Trek: The Original Series aired on Sept. 8, 1966, and Lego shared the image on Sept. 8 as well.
Official announcements and dates
Lego has not announced an exact release date. Therefore, a 2026 release window is a reasonable expectation based on the anniversary hashtag and timing of the post.
Background and prior leaks
Speculation that Lego was making a Star Trek set has circulated since an image leaked showing the Enterprise-D alongside figures of The Next Generation crew. That leaked image included Picard, Commander William T. Riker, Worf, Doctor Beverly Crusher, and Lieutenant Commander Data with his cat, Spot; the leaked image is available on Imgur.
Related Star Trek 60th events
Several official events and celebrations for Star Trek’s 60th anniversary are already announced. For example, there is an upcoming Caribbean cruise featuring William Shatner, and a Las Vegas convention scheduled for 2026.
More details on the cruise are on the official announcement page at this page, and information about the Las Vegas event is available at the convention site.
