How does it compare to other LEGO Star Wars kits? The size of the LEGO Razor Crest alone makes me feel like you’re getting your money’s worth here, not to mention, the fact that it also includes pair of exclusive figures alongside three additional minifigures. The final model exceeds my original expectations and really does the ship justice compared to its on-screen counterpart. Entering with 1,029 bricks at $129.99 isn’t a great value on paper, but there’s so much going for this creation outside just the number of pieces you’re getting. If there’s ever a set that is more than worth its price per dollar ratio, you’re looking at it. These haven’t been all too common in the LEGO Star Wars world, so it’s certainly a nice addition to the kit.
It’s the same design as other IG series droids in the past, but does notably still have printing on the head piece. Lastly, there’s an IG-11 droid that rounds out the included figures here. Alongside just having phenomenal printing throughout, it’s funny that this figure includes an actual head before The Mandalorian does. The minifigure has some solid printing on the torso and does Carl Weathers’ character in the series justice. There’s also a Scout Trooper included here, which we’ve seen in a handful of kits in the past.
Greef Karga also makes a brick-built debut in this set. Nonetheless, it’s still a great figure, especially for those who haven’t added it to their collections. Unfortunately, it’s still the same future, and he’s not donning the Beskar armor shown later on in the series. The Mandalorian himself makes a second appearance in this set after first being introduced in the AT-ST Raider that we reviewed last year. On top of The Child, you’re also getting four other brick-built characters that round out the main cast of the Disney+ series. Iterating on the existing baby figure design that we’ve seen over the years, there’s an entirely new head and some printing on the body to give him the swaddled look from the series. While you’re getting a total of three minifigures and a droid, the real star of the show is The Child, aka Baby Yoda.Īs of now, the Razor Crest is the first appearance of the figure to date in the LEGO world, and oh, was it worth the wait. Regardless of everything the Razor Crest has going for it, this kit’s included figures are an equally enticing aspect of the build. Often these kinds of builds are clearly afterthoughts, and the fact that it’s so well-integrated into the model here is a huge plus.
It blends in pretty well and doesn’t utilize too many bricks to pull off the distinct look, which is really the most praise I can give here. There’s also a little escape pod on the top of the ship. On the left hand side of the Razer Crest you’ll find a bed for the bounty hunter to rest on, as well as a pair of the carbon-frozen bounties. Moving into the back of the ship, there’s plenty of storage for the rest of the ship’s crew as well as some other noteworthy inclusions. It’s not quite as accurate to as what you’ll see in The Mandalorian itself, but gets the job done for the scale. The cockpit is also fairly detailed and has room for a pair of figures to sit down. The ship notably folds open to give you a better look at the inside, with a series of panels around the outside that fold down. LEGO has also packed the inside of the Razor Crest with some eye-catching details as well. So if you’re picking this up for your little ones to swoosh around, it should be able to stand up to more rugged play than the average starfighter. Not only does it have an insane display-ablity factor with its attention to detail, but the build is very sturdy, too. But some other highlights include the two massive engines on either side, as well as the overall shaping for some of the more complex angles. The cockpit area is easily one of the best aspects of the ship in terms of how well it was executed with the new printed canopy piece. At minifigure scale, it’s not too often that ships nail the source material, but that’s by no means the case here. All of the included bricks are put to great use throughout, resulting in a model that looks fantastic.
Inside and out, there are plenty of details that make this build instantly recognizable to fans of the show, but we’ll start with the exterior.įirst and foremost, the ship has a pretty great presence and is much larger than I had initially anticipated. Stacking up to 1,023 pieces, the creation stands over 15 inches long, 5 inches tall, and 11 inches wide. The latest creation from The Mandalorian brings the Razor Crest into brick-built form for the very first time.
