The Mandalorian TV series has been received with overwhelming positivity, and although the first season is now over, Disney is already working on the second season. Because Disney didn’t want to spoil the story, they did not release merchandise related to the TV series last year, however now that the first season is behind us, we can expect Mando and the Child (a.k.a. Baby Yoda) to take over toy isles, gift selections, and more. You can already pre-order some of them at the Disney store and Amazon.
For LEGO fans, there are only two sets related to The Mandalorian so far, but they are good ones. The #75254 LEGO Star Wars AT-ST Raider from the Mandalorian set features an old and beat up Imperial AT-ST that a band of Klatooinian raiders used against the peaceful villagers of the forest planet Sorgan in Episode 4 of the TV show. The AT-ST comes with posable jointed legs, a wheel-activated turning turret, opening canopy with space for a minifigure inside the cockpit, and stickered elements for a cannibalized look. While the AT-ST looks pretty good (I like the beat up look!), the most important feature of this set is that it includes The Mandalorian himself.
The Mandalorian minifig comes with highly detailed torso (front and back) and legs printing, as well as a special straight cape that is more streamlined than the traditional triangle shaped capes. His pearl-dark-gray helmet represents the super special Beskar steel very well. My only disappointment is that the minifig doesn’t come with pauldrons. They were an integral part of The Mandalorian armor, and Mando getting his right pauldron made from Beskar steel was an important part of Episode 1.
The other three characters in the set are Cara Dune (an ex-Rebel shock trooper-turned-mercenary who teamed up with Mando), and two Klatooinian raiders. They are also highly detailed and accurate to the TV show, although Cara would have also benefitted from shoulder armors. And I would have liked to see a couple of villagers as well. But good set overall. Comes with 540 pieces, and the price is $49.99. You can get it at the LEGO Star Wars section of the Online LEGO Shop.
Although the #75254 LEGO Star Wars AT-ST Raider is the only set that comes with The Mandalorian, LEGO released a second set this year with four unnamed Mandalorian warriors; the #75267 LEGO Star Wars Mandalorian Battle Pack. Each of the Mandalorians comes with highly detailed torso and legs printing in different color combinations. The helmets also feature detailed printing and even battle damage. And they all wear the same type of narrow cape as Mando. Everything looks good, but I wish that at least one of the Mandalorians got a jetpack like in the TV show.
Besides the four minifigs, the set also includes a small buildable defense fort, and a Mandalorian speeder bike with stud-shooters. And the Mandalorians get stud-shooting blasters as well. This set can be used to recreated scenes from Episode 3 and Episode 8 of The Mandalorian, incorporated in other settings, or just collect the minifigs because they are super cool. I expect this set to sell like hotcakes! Comes with 102 pieces, and the price is $14.99. Available at the LEGO Star Wars section of the Online LEGO Shop.
Although these are the only two LEGO Star Wars sets related to The Mandalorian TV show, I expect that we will get more in the future. LEGO must release Baby Yoda, and we also need at least the Mandalorian’s ship named Razor Crest. Plus, there are several other vehicles and locations that could be made into LEGO sets. In the meantime, keep an eye on custom models by the LEGO fan community. We already talked about several versions of Baby Yoda here, and I have seen some really great builds, like the one below by First Order LEGO, depicting the town from the planet Nevarro, where several episodes of The Mandalorian play out.
What do you think? Did you watch The Mandalorian TV series? How did you like it? And what do you think of the LEGO sets related to the show? What other scenes and characters would you like to see in future sets? Feel free to share and discuss in the comment section below!
I have also seen a video of that Nevarro scene. Let me see if I can find it.
Okay, here: https://youtu.be/tCkx6phuU8k
That was cool! I would love to build this! As far as Mandalorian sets, I would love to see the ship. And the prison ship was also really cool. I think it was in episode 6?
My cable services does not get Disney Plus but I managed to see parts of the Mandalorian on YouTube. I have both the at-st raider and the Mandalorian Battle Pack. Planning on get more to build an army .
I recommend watching the whole series if you can. It’s good. It has a sort of Western vibe. And you have to meet Baby Yoda. Otherwise you won’t get all the memes! 😀
We definitely need at least one set with Baby Yoda. People would totally flip out. They would need to make a new mold, but it would be worth it. Everybody would buy that set. Then for Christmas they could do one of the large sculpture sets with Baby Yoda, like they did with Yoda, and BB-8.
The mMndalorian battle pack is one of my favorites of the year. It might be worth buying some extras too for army building or for investment. I hope they will release more sets this year. I don’t care for the AT-ST, but I want to get the Mandalorian. If nothing else comes, I will get it, but for now I’m waiting. Or maybe I will just get him on bricklink.
We definitely need Mando’s ship. That would make a great set. I’m certain we will get more sets later this year. Probably in May, which is usually when new SW sets come out?
I still haven’t seen the Mandalorian D: and it’s not even available in the UK until like, March or something. This really sucks! (first world problem, I know lol). But I’m pretty sure there will be a few great LEGO sets for it. I think people were surprised by how well-received it was, so I think everyone is rushing to get the merchandise out the door right now 😉
I’m sorry you guys can’t watch it yet. It is good. I watched the entire first season already. Highly recommended. Good things come to those who wait! 🙂
Well, they speak English, anyway. Depending on your morals, I am sure there are ways to watch it ahead of March…
What about the Mandalorian forge? That would make a great set too. With a light brick?
IM CRAY CRAY FOR BABY YODA
