LEGO's TNG Crew Have (Almost) the Perfect Accessories

NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. I may be compensated for purchases made after clicking on links on this page.

The crew of the NCC-1701-D and all their favorite accessories have arrived at LEGO. Here's a look at the crew, what they come with, and additional accessories we'd love to see in future sets.

icon

Captain Jean-Luc Picard with Tea, Earl Grey, Hot

iconWe would expect nothing less than for the good captain to have his cup of Earl Grey.

Additional versions and accessories we'd love to see:

  • A saddle and LEGO horse. "“It’s perfectly normal. You know, most, er, most serious riders do have their own saddles.”
  • His flute from "The Inner Light"
  • A Locutus variation with a Borg cube, or Borg alcove set.
  • A Dixon Hill variation complete with trench coat and fedora.

iconicon

William T. Riker with A Trombone

Number One with a beard and a trombone is pretty much perfect.

Additional variations and accessories we'd love to see:

  • A Horgahn because, Riker.
  • A deck of cards and poker chips.
  • A frying pan for making omelettes scrambled eggs.
  • Anbo-jyutsu Riker, please.

iconicon

Data with Spot

Everybody's favorite android with his favorite cat. Let's just hope they don't ship the Lore figurines by mistake.

Additional variations and accessories we'd love to see:
  • A violin
  • An easel and palette
  • Sherlock Holmes Data


iconicon

Worf with a Phaser

Yes, that's supposed to be a phaser. Somehow...it doesn't translate very well into LEGO world. But we'll go with it.

Additional accessories and variations we'd love to see:

  • A bat'leth, obviously.
  • A glass of prune juice, "a warriors drink."
  • A LEGO version of Word's ball chair.

iconicon

Deanna Troi with a PADD

Why does Deanna get the most generic of accessories? Admittedly there's not exactly a LEGO version of empathic powers, and she uses PADDs to schedule her professional appointments, but couldn't she get something a little more distinctive?

Additional accessories and variations we'd love to see:

  • A chocolate sundae.
  • A Betazoid gift box. Or maybe we don't want to remember that...
  • A 3-D chess set. She was good enough at chess to beat Data after all.
  • And maybe a variation in a standard uniform.

iconicon

Dr. Crusher with a Tricorder

Medical tricorder, I'm sure. 

Additional accessories and variations we'd love to see:

  • The headset she wore that one time...
  • An incubator for scarlet moss.
  • The dance studio expansion set for her and Data to practice in.

iconicon

Geordi with an Engineering Case

Well he is the chief engineer. So he should have his case with him, I guess.

Additional accessories and variations we'd love to see:


iconicon

Guinan with...It is green...?

Pretty much perfect, except she didn't actually appear on-screen with the green bottle. But Data did say it was part of her special selection of beverages.

Additional accessories and variations we'd love to see:

  • Her giant gold phaser riffle, which she also keeps behind the bar.

iconicon

Wesley Crusher with his portable tractor beam

Is it too nerdy of me to point out that he built the tractor beam back when he was still wearing sweaters (not the tri-color uniform seen here)?

Additional accessories and variations we'd love to see:

  • A container of nanites. Just don't let them out. They will turn the whole world into a LEGO set.
  • A flower bed surrounded by a white fence.

See the full LEGO set for the NCC-1701-Dicon here.

What other characters from TNG would you like to see in a LEGO set? 

Lt. Van Mayter, perhaps?

What's in a Unimatrix?

Image
Earlier, while discussing the fractal-like organization of the Borg collective , I raised the following issue: On the Matter of Unimatricies - The term Unimatrix has been thrown around as a unit or division within the collective. Each unimatrix is a miniature collective, much as I have described above. We know that the Unicomplex is called Unimatrix 001. Beyond that, I am not certain if the term has been used consistently enough to be precisely defined. Is each Borg ship a Unimatrix , or does a Unimatrix encompass multiple ships? In other words, where does a Unimatrix fit in the layers of collectives? Any thoughts or observations on this would be appreciated. Recently I saw "Dark Frontier" ( VOY ) again and drew a significant conclusion: I don't think the writers had any clue what a Unimatrix is. The episode manages to use the term in at least two different and seemingly contradictory ways. In the opening sequence the Borg "coffin" ship says, "A ves...

Lost in Translation — Star Trek XI

Image
I finally saw the new Star Trek movie tonight. While I take time to collect my thoughts on the new film as a whole let me comment on one little aspect of it - matters of translation. Interestingly the credits mention a Romulan and Vulcan Language Supervisor (or Consultant or some such title). However after my first viewing of the film I have to say I didn't notice any Vulcan being spoken, and I only noticed what was presumably a little Romulan shouting when Kirk and Spock beam over to Nero's ship. Perhaps there were more such moments than I realized. That being said, the basic issues of translation among alien races is acknowledged from the very beginning. From the moment Uhura is introduced to Kirk, it is clear that she is more than just a subspace-ham-radio operator. She is a linguistic expert - move over Hoshi Sato! Unlike her counterpart in the original timeline, who couldn't seem to speak Klingon if her life depended on it, this Uhura is eavesdropping on and translat...

Lost in Translation—Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

Image
Up to this point we have analyzed the inner workings of the Universal Translator—how pattern analysis and neural analysis might allow the device to work. Now, let’s discuss the outer workings of the device—how users would interact with it. Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country does a nice job of showing translation at work, with out letting it get in the way of the story. In the process there are some scenes that illustrate the realities of using a translation device. To Subtitle, or Not to Subtitle One interesting scene starts with the Federation president communicating with Azetbur over subspace. We hear the conversation in English. When their conversation ends, Azetbur’s aide unrolls a map on her desk and begins talking to her in Klingon. We see English subtitles. Either she was actually speaking to the President in English, or we were hearing things through the President’s UT. But when the Klingons speak privately, they logically are speaking their own language. After this has ...
