I Really, Really Want the 3,600-Piece Lego U.S.S. Enterprise
This $400 set features the complete Next Generation crew in minifigure form, including Captain Picard, Commander Riker, and Wesley Crusher’s portable tractor beam.
Star Trek: The Next Generation profoundly influenced a generation of 1990s kids. I watched every episode with my mother. Visiting a friend’s house after school, we were always greeted by a large cardboard cutout of the iconic Captain Jean-Luc Picard.
I followed Wil Wheaton, who portrayed the clever Wesley Crusher, on social media into my twenties. My son is actually named Wesley, though my husband believes the name honors explorer John Wesley Powell.
