As expected, such a big set is going to come with a steep price tag. It costs $399.99 and will be available for sale on Nov. 28. If that date sounds familiar, it’s because it’s Black Friday. However, don’t expect savings on it. This set is sure to be in high demand, making it an unlikely candidate for a discount upon its relief. But we’ve been wrong before, and just maybe, we’ll get a holiday miracle of a deal on the Lego U.S.S. Enterprise set.
