75434: K-2SO Security Droid Set Review
We first met the reprogrammed Imperial Security Droid, K-2SO, in the Star Wars prequel, Rogue One. The sarcastic KX Droid instantly becomes a fan favourite thanks to its one-liners and pure disregard for those around it. The character returned in the second series of Andor, and similar Droids have appeared in other Star Wars stories, most notably EA’s Star Wars Jedi games. KX series Droid look quite cool, making them the perfect muse...
75430: Wicket The Ewok Set Review
Say what you like about the Ewoks, but they helped topple the Empire, used the discarded helmets of their foe as drums and nearly straight up cooked and ate Luke and Han if not for the god-like allure of C-3PO. Plus, before George Lucas’ tinkering, they sang a catchy tune at the end of Return of the Jedi. Now the furry fiends have inspired the latest buildable Star Wars character. In particular, Wicket, the inquisitive Ewok we first...
75428: Battle Droid With STAP Set Review
Buildable characters may seem like a recent addition to the LEGO® Star Wars range. But during the second year of the long-running theme, several characters were transformed into buildable models. Admittedly, they were a little more ‘unique’ in appearance. But since those early builds, the LEGO element catalogue has vastly expanded, and build techniques have advanced. This has allowed the LEGO Star Wars Design Team to offer more...
75399: Rebel U-Wing Starfighter Set Review
As the second season of Andor comes to an end on Disney+, it seems a fitting moment to take a look at the recently released LEGO® Star Wars sets inspired by the show. Andor is a prequel series to the Star Wars prequel film, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. It tells how the Rebellion was born and will lead directly to the events of Rogue One. The show is named after one of the Rebels’ earliest members, Cassian Andor, who features in...
75411: Darth Maul Mech Set Review
The Star Wars universe is full of all sorts of fantastical technically, but mechs aren’t too common in a galaxy far, far away. Nor are any of the galaxies’ most famous faces pottering around in them. However, the LEGO Group does enjoy mech, and so in 2023, Star Wars mechs were introduced. Vader, Boba Fett and a Stormtrooper were all given their themed mech suits. Luke also swapped his X-Wing for a mech suit inspired by the...
75400: Plo Koon’s Jedi Starfighter Microfighter Review
It’s been 11 years since LEGO® Star Wars Microfighters were first introduced. In recent times, they have become a little less common, but it’s nice to see they continue to be released. The concept of this fun subtheme is miniature versions of Star Wars ships, vehicles and creatures, which also include a minifigure. Since their introduction, Microfighters have slowly increased in price but continue to be a good source for...
75412: Death Trooper & Night Trooper Battle Pack Review
The LEGO® Star Wars Battle Pack – beloved by many, amassed by some, and they have the ability to enrage a small group of LEGO Star Wars ‘fans’. Regardless of your thoughts on Battle Packs, they are usually a decent way to collect a vast amount of similar minifigures, plus they often include interesting characters. The latest Battle Pack is mostly inspired by the live-action Disney+ series, Ashoka. It also has a minor...
