There's some cool new D&D minifigures that were recently released. Including a new elf head with short hair!

I swear... Lego makes a point of releasing pieces that would be REALLY useful to our comics right around the point that we don't need them anymore. (Or as much.)

At least, though, there's a fair number of elf hairs available. I kind of prefer having Vulcans and Romulans with a lot of hair variety. As opposed to their frequent depictions (in TNG especially) where everybody has the same terrible haircut.

BrickVoid: Very cool elf heads! D&D should be nice if it comes to Australia. I'm in the unenviable position of having too many LEGO sets! Any more and I swear this collection will be bursting at the seams! :D

Transcript
Panel 1:
Science Officer Yana: Ha! Success!
Commander Vedrix: Yana?
Yana: I've breached the firewall, sir! They couldn't fully patch against your backdoor access codes.
    I now have remote control of the Deathbeak's helm!

Panel 2:
Helmsman Grastock: Intrepid is changing course. She is moving into a lower orbit.
    Vedrix: Towards the particle storm?
Grastock: Or attempting to escape by entering the Spoogian atmosphere!
Comms Officer Garl: She's hailing us, sir!
Vedrix: Onscreen.

Panel 3:
Vedrix: Colonel Reynolds... I apologize for the actions of the rogue crew on the Deathbeak. We've dealt with the problem.
Colonel Hank Reynolds: That's good, but they've put us in a situation, Commander Vedrix.
    And I know you've been treading a fine line.
    I'm here to ask you to cross that line.
    I'm positioning this ship to intercept the particle storm.
    You can blow us to hell if you want... we'll be sitting ducks.
    But I think you're too honorable for that.

Panel 4:
Grastock: Sensors confirm, sir... the Intrepid is in position. And they're expanding their shield bubble.
Vedrix: That may cover the city... but their shield strength will be strained to the breaking point.
Grastock: They are indeed at our mercy, sir. And our standing orders from the Emperor would--
Vedrix: I don't need to be reminded of that.
Grastock: Then what is your command?

Panel 5:
Ensign Hylia: Sir, we've lost the comm signal.
Hank: Did they break it off?
Hylia: I can't tell. The storm is also creating spatial static. Attempting to reestablish.

Panel 6:
Major Ulbek: Sir, the Romulan vessels are moving into flanking positions.
    I must remind you... Their plasma weapons are more effective the closer they are to the target.
    We cannot survive multiple hits at this range in our current condition.
Lieutenant Zack LeRoux: The Bright Talon and the Deathbeak are in range of our broadside railguns, sir.
    I don't think they have intel on that weaponry.
    If we strike first--
Hank: No. Stand down weapons. All power to shields. Maintain wide bubble.
    C'mon, Vedrix...

Panel 7:
Vedrix: Colonel, my apologies! The storm is affecting our communications system.
Hank: You had us going there, Commander. Your ships are... pretty close.
Zack: Colonel, the warbirds are widening their shield bubbles to overlap with ours!
Vedrix: Indeed. We are all weakened from our fight.
    So let us face this storm together.
    As true warriors!
