Cmdr. William T. Riker

Cmdr. William T. Riker is a highly recognizable and beloved character from Star Trek: The Next Generation, making this minifigure immediately desirable for fans of the series. The accurate representation of his iconic beard and Starfleet uniform will appeal to collectors looking to complete their Star Trek LEGO displays. As the first official LEGO minifigure of Riker, it holds a special place in the hearts of collectors eager to own a piece of Star Trek history in LEGO form.

The minifigure's appeal is further enhanced by its exclusivity to the large and detailed U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D set. Collectors who may not be able to purchase the entire set will likely seek out the Riker minifigure individually, driving up its demand. The quality of the printing on the torso, accurately depicting the Starfleet insignia and uniform details, adds to its collectibility.

This Cmdr. William T. Riker minifigure is currently only available in one set: the Star Trek: U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D (10356-1) released in 2025. This single-set appearance initially makes it relatively uncommon, at least until the set is widely distributed and available. The rarity will depend on the production run of the Enterprise set and whether LEGO releases Riker in other sets in the future. If the set is retired without additional Riker appearances, this minifigure's rarity will likely increase significantly.

As a newly released minifigure, it's too early to definitively assess Cmdr. Riker's long-term investment potential. However, several factors suggest it could be a worthwhile investment. The Star Trek theme has a dedicated and passionate fanbase, and iconic characters like Riker are always in demand. The initial exclusivity to a large, expensive set will likely create a strong aftermarket demand for the minifigure. Comparable minifigures from other popular franchises, such as Star Wars, have shown significant appreciation in value over time, particularly those exclusive to specific sets.
