Today, the LEGO Group unveiled a new collection of LEGO Star Wars Diorama building sets to help fans relive their favorite scenes from the original trilogy in LEGO brick form. Below are the details.

The three new sets span iconic scenes from Star Wars: A New Hope and Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back to give fans a new way of exploring their love for the early films while building a model they can proudly display once complete.

Inspired by Star Wars: A New Hope, the #55329 LEGO Star Wars Death Star Trench Run Diorama invites builders to recreate the gripping scene of Darth Vader’s pursuit of Luke Skywalker, as Luke fights to destroy the newly-built Death Star for a victory on the Rebellion side. Finish off the build with the memorable words of Darth Vader, “The Force is strong with this one”. The set measures over 4 in. (10 cm) high, 8.5 in. (22 cm) wide, and 6 in. (15 cm) deep, and comes with 665 pieces. Prices are as follows: 89.99 AUD / 79.99 CAD / 59.99 EUR/ 54.99 GBD / 59.99 USD

Continue the journey with the crushingly dramatic Star Wars: A New Hope scene in the #75339 LEGO Star Wars Death Star Trash Compactor Diorama, where Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Princess Leia Organa are temporarily stranded after freeing the princess from Detention Block AA-23, with this Death Star Trash Compactor Diorama building set. Packed with authentic details including moving walls, a dianoga’s head, and famous characters like C-3PO, R2-D2, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, and Princess Leia, fans will have no shortage of key features to showcase in this set. Channel your focus and have fun with Han Solo’s witty remark: “One thing’s for sure, we’re all gonna be a lot thinner,” to complete this legendary moment. The set measures over 4 in. (10 cm) high, 8 in. (21 cm) wide, and 6 in. (15 cm) deep, and comes with 802 pieces. Prices are as follows: 149.99 AUD / 119.99 CAD / 89.99 EUR/ 79.99 GBD / 89.99 USD

And if fans are looking to homage “feeling the Force,” simply find your balance with the #75330 LEGO Star Wars Dagobah Jedi Training Diorama building set. The striking display lets training Jedi relive moments from Master Yoda’s hut in the swamps of Dagobah while recreating the details of this iconic Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back scene. Complete with minifigures representing the characters of Yoda, Luke Skywalker, and R2-D2. The set measures over 6 in. (16 cm) high, 11 in. (29 cm) wide, and 6.5 in. (17 cm) deep, and comes with 1,000 pieces. Prices are as follows: 119.99 AUD / 109.99 CAD / 79.99 EUR/ 69.99 GBD / 79.99 USD

The new models are available for pre-order starting from today, March 24th globally from the LEGO Star Wars section of the Online LEGO Shop. From April 26th, 2022, the models will be available from the LEGO Star Wars section of the Online LEGO Shop, official LEGO stores, and other retailers. The #75339 LEGO Star Wars Death Star Trash Compactor Diorama building set will be exclusively sold at Walmart stores, in addition to LEGO.com and LEGO stores.

New LEGO Page with Mini-Builds for Every Week!

by Thita (admin) on March 22, 2022

in Useful Resources

There is a new section of the LEGO website that I thought some of our readers might like. You can find it at LEGO.com/Creativity. As the name of the link implies, the focus of this page is free-building and creative play. It features articles with arts and crafts ideas and LEGO home decor projects. And the best part (at least in my opinion) is the weekly mini-builds.

The weekly mini-builds are small creations that you can build from your own LEGO collection and feature fun animals, small vehicles, fantasy creatures, and more. Last week’s theme was vehicles and included a small racecar, a little red tractor, a cute ice cream truck, and a construction crane. You can click on the images and download the PDF instructions for each project.

This week’s theme is birds, featuring an eagle, a parrot, and a penguin. Again, the instruction can be downloaded in PDF format.

Unfortunately, it seems like only two weeks’ worth of projects are posted at a time, and I don’t see a way to access earlier builds. So, even if you don’t have time to build them now, I recommend at least downloading the instructions for the projects you like for future use. For your convenience, I’m including direct links to the PDF instructions I was able to save myself from the past three weeks:

I seem to remember some of these projects from some years back when LEGO was running a similar page with creative ideas. But in any case, these are fun little builds you can work on when you only have a few minutes to build. They are also great for speed-building contests, and for keeping kids occupied on a rainy day.

What do you think? How do you like these mini-builds? Are you planning to build any of them? What other small projects would you like to see? Feel free to share and discuss in the comment section below!
