CF Mitch Posted September 4 Posted September 4 Maybe not as iconic, no, but she became very popular very fast, from what I remember. She's still a solid choice for a GWP. Personally I like her better than O'Brien, and maybe Dr. Pulaski a bit, as well Regards, Mitch Quote

Not that I’m happy with Tasha erasure, of course. She could have come with an amorphous black blob build … I really don't think Ro is more popular in the fandom than O'Brien (who has appeared in more Star Trek episodes than any other character besides Worf, and of course, is the most important person in Starfleet ;) ). Then again, Ro is still a popular character (I always liked her, so I'm not mad at it), and the logical choice for a shuttlecraft GWP, since she's a pilot (and perhaps the designers thought O'Brien was more of a DS9 character anyway). It would have been fun if there had been a transporter room GWP instead of the shuttlecraft; it's such an iconic piece of Star Trek tech (more iconic than that boxy shuttle imo), it would have been an opportunity to include an O'Brien minifig and it would have been a nice display set for the other TNG minifigs.

Transporter room is such a good call, would be perfect for figure display. Quote
RichardGoring Posted September 5 Posted September 5 Yes! Transporter room is a terrific idea. Just looked on Rebrickable to see if anyone had made one already, and only something from Voyager. Might have to try it out. Quote

I think we need a whole CMF of just Jeffrey Combs & Susie Plakson aliens to feature in it 🤣 Quote

BrickBob Studpants Posted September 8 Posted September 8 The set is officially being teased now, including a closer look at the Picard minifig! Quote
RichardGoring Posted September 8 Posted September 8 And they've used a transporter room to do it! Definitely a good set for the future. Quote
CF Mitch Posted September 8 Posted September 8 Love the teaser! Based on Picard, I'd say the minifigures look excellent Bring on the official full reveal! [/Make it so!] Regards, Mitch Quote
Frizzlefry25 Posted September 9 Posted September 9 After seeing the leaked pics awhile back, (I hope the bottom saucer neck section is fake) it would look horrible displayed anyway but low. So you don't see underneath. It's going to take some amazing pictures after I had hoped to make this my one big set of the year! Long term, with so many Star Trek ships available, I think doing a smaller line in Midi Scale would be amazing! Quote
Lacdaran Posted Monday at 03:45 PM Posted Monday at 03:45 PM I wonder how accurate the leaked pictures are? I know a few reputable leakers confirmed the leaked pictures were authentic, but the Picard figure in the new teaser has a ton of differences from the Picard figure in the leaked pics. Quote

No, its exactly the same minifig. His torso color might look dark red in the teaser but it will be regular red in the set. Quote
sonofasubmariner Posted Monday at 10:30 PM Posted Monday at 10:30 PM Ro Laren minifig leaked on Reddit. She has printing for the nose ridges and her earring. And the mole just below her mouth it appears. Quote

His torso color might look dark red in the teaser but it will be regular red in the set. Isn't it supposed to be cherry red, though? Which would probably end up as dark red in LEGO...
