The Siege of Mandalore serves as the climax of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and LEGO Star Wars already includes a number of sets based on the battle. However, the Mandalorian factions have received relatively scant coverage in LEGO sets, ironically.
75449 Siege of Mandalore Battle Pack goes some way to improving the situation, as two of Maul's Mandalorian commandos are provided. The minifigures are not without controversy though, as the Mandalorians' visors are silver instead of black and these Clone Troopers are perhaps unnecessary, so soon after their dedicated Battle Pack.
Today's random set is 3722 Treasure Tomb, released during 1998. It's one of 21 Adventurers sets produced that year. It contains 164 pieces, and its retail price was US$20.
It's owned by 761 Brickset members. If you want to add it to your collection you should find it for sale at BrickLink, where new ones sell for around $175.00, or eBay.
Today's random minifigure is njo0034Jay ZX, a NINJAGO figure that was first produced during 2012. It can be found in 2 sets.
Our members collectively own a total of 22,268 of them. If you'd like to buy one you should find it for sale at BrickLink, where new ones sell for around $8.00.
Of the eleven 2026 Technic sets that have so far been revealed, 42218 John Deere 1670H Wheeled Harvester is the cheapest boxed one and also arguably the most interesting vehicle in the lineup.
The last double pack of karts to hit the road this wave are popping with colour and sprouting with life. One of the earliest enemies seen in 1985’s Super Mario Bros. stars as the first large, attachable power-up to appear in the theme. When used in Mario Kart 8, the Piranha Plant is a time-limited item that lunges towards opponents, items, and obstacles while giving a speed boost with every bite. While the attachment coupling only appears on these two karts, it’s an entertaining play feature that works well in LEGO.
As usual, we are inviting Brickset members to choose their favourites across four categories, answering these questions:
What is your favourite set released in 2025?
What is your favourite set costing below $50 of 2025?*
What is your favourite gift-with-purchase set of 2025?
What is your favourite minifigure released in 2025?**
Please submit your nominations in the comments. The most frequent or 'liked' submissions will be forwarded to concluding polls in each category and they will be published during the next few days, determining the most popular sets and minifigures of 2025.
Kids love trucks and cars, especially ones that open up or transform. Plenty of adults still enjoy these features too! This set delightfully emanates the vibes of a coveted 90s toy, the Micro Machines Super Van City, especially with the decorative stripe and opening feature.
Are you unfamiliar with the vehicle depicted in this set? That’s not a surprise, even to the surprise of die-hard Sonic fans; it was found to only exist in the background art of a YouTube mini-series called ‘TailsTube’ in Episode #12, ‘Life Hacks’. It isn’t even mentioned or referenced in any way during the episode.
LEGO's after-Christmas sale has begun and dozens of sets, keychains and other gear items have been reduced, some by 70%.
There's nothing terribly exciting among the selection, which includes seasonal sets and Advent calendars, but you may find something of interest.
Additionally, there are double VIP points on 76457 Hogsmeade Village - Collectors' Edition and 76300 Arkham Asylum in the UK and Europe, and 10361 Holiday Express Train, 10357 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C, 10352 The Simpsons: Krusty Burger, and 21360 Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory in the USA and Canada.
Our Advent calendar countdowns concluded yesterday, but we have one more article to publish on the subject, which has been written by Marty P.
Find a comfy chair, pour a glass of sherry, and make yourself comfortable because it's a long and interesting read:

Hello there! When I was a child, I always had a fascination when playing with LEGO to build small, microscale builds of spaceships with a dozen or so pieces or less. I always rationalised it in my brain as these spacecraft were simply farther away from a forced perspective sense, hence their small relative appearance.
It made sense then that I was always fascinated with the Star Wars advent calendars LEGO would make. I initially missed the early years advent calendars due to being off in college, but I became aware of them later and initially picked some up for the unique minifigures, but found the build experience fun enough to the point I now have the entire series, with duplicates of some of a couple of the ones that I particularly liked.
Because of this fascination and collecting, I have become aware of some trends within the calendars (e.g., roughly every other year you will see a new Gonk droid in the build). I have seen the new 75418 2025 calendar and the surrounding discussion, and my observations led to doing some study of the entire advent series to put some data around what up until now had just been gut feelings.
I had the suspicion that there was some cost engineering going on behind the scenes (that's going on within the entire LEGO brand), but my review has highlighted to me the ways in which it has happened. It has also enabled me to make some overall observations, predictions and suggestions for improvement, which I wanted to share with you. It may be that some of you long-time LEGO enthusiasts have already caught on to these trends. But for even those who didn't explicitly observe this, in the words of another online hack Star Wars critic, you may not have noticed it, but your brain did. Join me, won't you?
Christmas Day has arrived in the UK, so Merry Christmas from the Brickset team! We hope you have a great day and receive some presents with that familiar LEGO rattling sound!
At the time of writing, Brickset members own 47,642,828 sets between us, an increase of over three million compared with the same day last year! As always, it will be interesting to see how the number continues to rise over the next few days, as new sets are added to collections.
