Product Information

it seems like every new star wars ship design is either a greeble-laden grey box or a recolored original trilogy ship.

Monkie Kid 80054 Megapolis City: 10 Reasons That This Middle-Aged AFOL Is Excited! November 7, 2023 A chase then ensued as several scout troopers riding 74-Z speeder bikes pursued the troop transport. Two of the bikes crashed into each other and exploded; Karga destroyed a third with the dual laser turret. Dune piloted the Marauder into another speeder bike, slamming it against the cliff face and destroying it. The last scout trooper managed to climb onto the top of the vehicle, holding an explosive, but Karga swung the turret around to face the front and shot the trooper to death at close range. [1] At LEGO® Con on the weekend, 3 sets from the Mandalorian were officially revealed – The Imperial Armored Marauder, Boba Fett’s Star Ship (the ship formerly known as Slave I) and the Imperial Light Cruiser. All three of these are integral to key moments in the series, and along with 75299 Trouble and Tatooine, as well as the 75314 The Bad Batch Shuttle shows an ongoing commitment to presenting more LEGO® sets from the newer, Disney managed, faces of the franchise. Concept art of the Marauder chase for "Chapter 12: The Siege" of The Mandalorian television series.I am delighted that diversity is being introduced to the underlying characters in the Stormtrooper armour: these hidden heads are a potentially great way to increase the variety of elements at hand, without necessarily having the characters utilising these elements. This is potentially important when dealing with an external IP, with limited representation amongst different genders and skin colour. This set was provided for review by The LEGO Group but the review represents an expression of my own opinions. Various heads have appeared beneath Stormtrooper helmets since 2020, replacing the Clone Trooper designs which were used previously. Remarkably, two brand new heads are available here and these look magnificent, particularly because the female Stormtrooper seems suitably mean! Matching other troopers, both minifigures are equipped with blaster rifles. Overall, I enjoyed this set more than I thought I would. I fround the technique for detailing the side panels to be interesting, and there are so many doors that you can access the entire vehicle to place your figures inside. It is a little smaller, relative to a figure than the ‘real one’, but it is certainly roomy enough. The gun turrets, including the rotating gunners seat all add to the play value.

Another hatch appears on the roof, although this example is cosmetic rather than functional. Nevertheless, there is sufficient space to stand a minifigure here when the hatch is open, as though commanding the transport. An important 1x2 plate with side rail is situated inside this hatch, preventing the lid from closing too far. The gunner had a rotating chair that they could swing around a whole revolution, allowing the turret to fire in any direction. It fired red laser bolts. [1] The troop transport's other weapons included two laser guns and four laser cannons throughout the troop transport, some of which could be found at the two trapezoidal protrusions near the rear. [1] Overall, the armament of the Marauder was considered to be more powerful than that of the K79-S80 transport. [2] Our regular stormtroopers demonstrate that the troops of the Empire are no longer clones: we have 2 new stormtrooper faces here: one reddish brown male, and one female. They are not currently listed in catalogs, so I presume they are new in this wave of sets. The trooper armour design is consistent with what we have seen for the last few years.

Rating

There are four minifgures included with this set: Greef Karga, the Magistrate on Navarro; a new Atillery Stormtrooper and two regular stormtroopers. The interior is easily accessible by opening the front and roof panels, revealing the single seat inside. The printed control console is cleverly connected to the front panel and this component remains fairly uncommon, only appearing in five earlier sets. The design looks splendid though and I love how easily the driving minifigure can be placed inside. Jens: So, so we know that is loved concept and is, again, a way for us to offer minifigures at a low price, or at a good price.
