Lock S-foils in Attack Position
The 4th day of the 5th Moon, an observed commemorative day for the Force “sensitive”, once again arrived amidst this troubling period. Known as Star Wars Day, the fandom celebrate the Saga itself as a whole, a bond that binds regardless of species, races or politics…
Earlier the year, I’d mentioned that I’ll post up a review of the other set I got together with LEGO Star Wars 75299 Trouble on Tatooine, but have since yet to actually write anything about it.
Well, since May the 4th is here, might as well to finally get this done with…
I’ve been wanting to acquire the iconic Starfighter of the Rebel Alliance for quite some time now. Amongst the all available variants released over the years, all of them (aside from a select few aimed at the much younger audience) are categorized as the higher range, more expensive sets.
At least until the arrival of LEGO Star Wars 75301 Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing Starfighter.
This is The Way
The Mandalorian, a Disney+ series set after the fall of the Galactic Empire, was released to positive reception at the end of last year, garnering attention to itself thanks to its unique Spaghetti Western styled storytelling as well as introducing to us one of the cutest character since forever.
Released just earlier this month, this LEGO rendition of the series’s iconic gunship utilised by THE Mandalorian himself, quickly flew off retail shelves and rendered out of stock everywhere off and online all over the world.
Thanks to a local online distributor, I’ve managed to secure this wonderful set for myself much to my surprise, judging by its popularity amongst collectors.

Over the years since my acquisition of LEGO Star Wars 7965 Millennium Falcon, a couple of newer variants of the same scale have been released, each of them features slight upgrades and some minor build technique changes in accordance to the movies (LEGO Star Wars 75105 Millennium Falcon from The Force Awakens and LEGO Star Wars 75212 Kessel Run Millennium Falcon from Solo: A Star Wars Story) they are based on.
Last month came another revision, this time to coincide with the upcoming The Rise of Skywalker movie, which will be available to your local cinema during Christmas holidays later the year.
The latest set went through a major overhaul, with totally new building techniques implemented, as well as finally addressing one of the major complaints from the past variants.
A blatant spoiler from the upcoming movie, printed on the box set in plain view: looks like Kylo Ren will rebuild his destroyed helmet from universally condemned The Last Jedi and wear it in the new movie, with himself now taking on the mantle of First Order’s Supreme Leader. ^^;
