After what’s felt like years of waiting, hoping, and speculating, earlier this year, Lego finally confirmed it would be boldly going forward with a Star Trek set that has become the centerpiece of the brick-maker’s annual Thanksgiving celebrations. Can it live up to the hype?

Because the BrickBoy — not to be confused with Natalie the Nerd’s Build A Boy — is not currently going with physical clicks. Instead, it glues rare earth magnets inside Lego bricks, for what will hopefully be a magical experience.

Substance Labs, a merry band of Lego and gaming lovers based in Switzerland, have created a kit that retrofits the official brick-perfect Lego set into an unofficial pixel-perfect playable Game Boy. The name of this wündertronics is BrickBoy. Yes, it’s a Kickstarter project, so the usual “may not deliver” caveats apply.

LEGO ‘s eagerly-anticipated first Star Trek Icons set, the USS Enterprise-D, is officially on sale now. Black Friday is a day for LEGO to boldly go where it has never gone before, launching its new Star Trek range, much to the excitement and delight of collectors.

There’s a sense of history around this release. For decades, Star Trek and LEGO have existed in parallel fandom universes, but never crossed officially until now. This is the first large-scale Enterprise build LEGO has ever produced, and collectors have been waiting years for this exact starship.

Missed out on this fantastic and realistic Lego Technic NASA Lunar Roving Vehicle? It's $66 off for Black Friday but is being retired soon — grab it quick!

The LEGO PAC-MAN Arcade is now 30% cheaper than the stubborn $269 price that has been in place since it came out, thanks to the record-low Black Friday price of $188. If you’ve wanted this set but didn’t want to pay the usual price, this Black Friday deal makes nostalgic LEGO engineering available before it sells out.

We cross-checked the numbers. These record-low Black Friday deals on Apple, Bose, and Lego officially match or beat the prices we saw on Prime Day.
