Miniatures from STTNG Monopoly (1998)

Worf Star Trek miniaturesAs I previewed a few weeks ago in my post on Scale and Alternate Options for Trek miniatures, the Star Trek Monopoly games (link to BoardGameGeek) included some sweet pewter tokens that are perfectly suited for use in Trek RPGs, and certainly better looking than Heritage's minis from the 70s.

In 1998, USAopoly released Monopoly - Star Trek The Next Generation Collector's Edition, which included 28mm scale tokens for Picard, Riker, Data, Troi, Worf, Beverly Crusher, La Forge and Wesley Crusher. I'm afraid I can't say much about the game itself as I've never played it. These days the game runs about $50.00 on eBay, so it's hard to justify just getting for the miniatures. If it's unlikely the regular crew would ever show up in your gaming sessions, you're better off to keep an eye out for Last Unicorn's Federation Away Team miniatures, which you can get for about half the price. The Worf miniatures from both the Monopoly game and the LUG box are pictured here, side by side. The rest of the set is pictured below:
