I Really, Really Want the 3,600-Piece Lego U.S.S. Enterprise
This $400 Lego set features minifigures of the entire Next Generation crew, including Captain Picard, Riker, and Wesley Crusher with his portable tractor beam.
Star Trek: The Next Generation made a huge impact on kids growing up in the 1990s. I watched every episode with my mom and remember seeing a giant cardboard cutout of Captain Jean-Luc Picard at my friend's house after school. I followed Wil Wheaton, who played Wesley Crusher, on social media well into my twenties. My son is even named Wesley, though my husband believes it honors the explorer John Wesley Powell.
