The LEGO Group is rumoured to be going all-out for Disney’s latest Star Wars show Skeleton Crew, devoting a huge 1,325-piece set to the main ship from the new series. With no release date confirmed for the Jude Law-fronted live-action show as yet, though – and rumours of delays circling – 75374 Skeleton Crew Ship might not yet meet its original expected shelf date of January 1. 75375 Millennium Falcon I am glad The Clone Wars and Ahsoka both have a loved place in Star Wars canon now. The Siege of Mandalore from the final season on Disney+ ranks up with The Mandalorian, Rogue One and Rebels as my favorite products of the "Disney Era" and I think Dave Filoni and crew did an excellent job maturing Ahsoka over the series. Ahsoka wields two blue lightsabers, reflecting her weapons from the final episodes of The Clone Wars. The character has now used three different lightsaber colours in LEGO sets! Her double-sided head features appropriate facial tattoos and two expressions, displaying determination on one side and a smile on the other. LEGO® Star Wars™ construction playsets are great for kids (and adult fans) to build and display, recreate scenes from the memorable Star Wars saga and create their own unique stories

This set includes 2 LEGO® Star Wars™ minifigures – Ahsoka Tano and Ahsoka's Clone Trooper – AAT Driver Battle Droid and Battle Droid LEGO figures, and cool weapons including 2 Lightsabers to role-play action stories Finer details have yet to be revealed, but with that piece count and price tag, it’s unlikely to be minifigure scale – unless the LEGO Group has opted for a clever forced perspective build that places microscale podracers in front of a minifigure-scale viewing area. We can only dream… 75381 DroidekaThis construction playset is powered by creative kids’ free-thinking – no batteries required – so whether building and playing solo or sharing the fun with family and friends, the galactic adventures never stop! Ahsoka Tano and colourful Clone Troopers from the 332nd Company appear during the climactic episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and have attracted significant attention. 75283 Armoured Assault Tank (AAT) includes both characters and should prove accordingly popular!

The buildable droid itself will apparently retain many of the features and functions of its bigger sibling (despite its reduced piece count and price tag), including an articulated head, periscope, third leg, tools and even an info plaque. 75380 Boonta Eve Podrace Diorama

The metallic silver band below Ahsoka's montrals is attractive, although this should have been printed slightly lower. Furthermore, the lekku seem too long when compared with the onscreen character because this component was originally created for Shaak Ti, an adult Togruta in 7931 T-6 Jedi Shuttle. The alternating blue and white stripes look excellent though. The AAT building toy has many cool features to inspire battle play including 2 spring-loaded shooters, a rotating turret with an elevating cannon, plus opening front and turret hatches to place the Battle Droids inside Several minifigure-scale renditions of the AAT have been produced since 2000, varying quite substantially in appearance and size. The latest model measures 14cm wide while 75080 AAT, released during 2015, measures 12cm wide and 8018 Armoured Assault Tank (AAT) measures 20cm across. I think the modern design is the most accurate in scale beside minifigures. Recreate thrilling 501st Legion vs. Battle Droid conflicts from Star Wars: The Clone Wars with this awesome Armored Assault Tank (AAT) LEGO® building toy for kids (75283). Clone Troopers from the 332nd Company accompany Ahsoka during the Siege of Mandalore, hence the second minifigure is identified as Ahsoka's Clone Trooper. His distinctive helmet is immediately recognisable, featuring orange designs that correspond with Ahsoka's appearance. A darker shade of orange may have been more suitable, although this colour matches Ahsoka's LEGO skin tone.

Viewing the model from either side reveals its most notable shortcoming as the primary laser cannon is too long when compared with the source material. The body section and turret both look reasonable as individual components but appear as though they might belong with models of two different scales! Fortunately, the laser cannon barrel can be modified easily. Four unique Ahsoka Tano minifigures have been produced since 2008, reflecting her changing appearance throughout Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. The latest example is based upon the seventh season of The Clone Wars and appears faithful to the series. Her dark blue attire features metallic silver and metallic gold highlights which look superb and I like the continuation of this design across the hips.It's worth talking a bit more about the Ahsoka minifig. When she was first introduced, everyone basically hated her (to be fair, when she was first introduced, Clone Wars was...not great, so the hatred was well-deserved). There have been two Clone Wars minifigs of Ahsoka, both with short "kiddie" lekku, and both with those ginormous anime eyes. There's only been one previous set that included an adult Ahsoka, and she had dark-orange skin in that one. That minifig also lists for more than this set costs. So, right there, it's cheaper to buy this minifig with a free set included, than it is to buy the Rebels Ahsoka loose. Also, if you want to de-anime young Ahsoka, this head looks like it can do that for you, where the dark-orange Rebels head didn't match the orange visible on either of the Clone Wars torsos." Looking for the best building toy for a kid who is new to LEGO® sets? This Star Wars: The Clone Wars set comes with easy-to-follow, printed instructions so they can build independently… and feel Jedi-level awesome! Nothing is known yet about these four remaining sets, which could literally be anything. (As long as it’s to do with Star Wars, obvs.) Chances are good that there’s another diorama in here – the two previous waves included multiple sets – while at least one might be based on later episodes of The Mandalorian Season 3 or Ahsoka. For now, your guess is as good as ours – but fingers crossed there are a sprinkling of other obscure characters among them for LEGO Star Wars’ 25th anniversary. Every LEGO Star Wars set rumoured for 2024 LEGO set The AAT building toy has many cool features to inspire battle play including 2 spring-loaded shooters,a rotating turret with an elevating cannon, plus opening front and turret hatches to place the Battle Droids inside. This 286-piece construction toy makes a great holiday gift and offers a fun, rewarding building challenge for boys and girls aged 7+. It combines brilliantly with other LEGO® Star Wars™ sets for even more creative fun.
