Oh I am so getting this - arm printing on Mando, the child in a small set, a carrier for the child which can go on the figure as well - and you can never have too many of the new Tuskens. Excellent. The rest of the set is nice and usable, so for £30 this is a day 1 buy.
The Child (Baby Yoda) in a $30/£25 set.
Do I need to say more?
Not really sure how I feel about that structure build around the campfire. I love getting buildings and stuff, but this one isn't doing much for me. I'll still pick it up, most likely. The armor we've all been waiting for!
Only way to improve this would be Vanth in Fett's armor. But looks great at a good price!
Holy cow!!’ That’s absolutely amazing!!!
Absolutely fantastic! Great builds, great figs, great value. Condolences to anyone who bought the $130 Razor Crest just for the child minifigure :D Glad it's more widely available!
Now we need a polybag figure of Cobb Vanth. Or maybe a set with him, a Bantha and some more Tuskens!
And most importantly of course, a better setting for some Anakin action...
Wait a minute... Why is his gun the wrong way round?
I don't remember it being attached like that in the other sets.
Wish a Cobb Vanth minifig was also included, but he’ll likely be in a different set. And with all the bobas I have, making one wouldn’t be hard. Great set!
The speeder isn't as oversized as they usually are. That ballista also looks really good. The builds are much better than I'd thought they'd be.
This is the way. I will be buying this one the day it comes out. Glad I waited and didn't get the AT-ST. IT was a good set, but this one is way better.

I agree. However it helps that swoop bikes are rather large for speeder bikes in-universe. They're easier to replicate than the 74-Z.
Absolutely excellent! Cobb Vanth would definitely have been welcome but was probably off-limits, even if LEGO was aware of his existence. Products could easily have leaked before the launch of The Mandalorian season two, in which case I expect Disney would have been rather reluctant for any partners to acknowledge Vanth too quickly.
Take my money!
Yeah that's a buy.
Wonderful
I love the new Mando figure, not only because of the arm printing, the new helmet color is amazing, too.
I am so loving that set.
Lego... This is the way!!
Didn't get the Razor Quest but I'll be pickin up this Beauty though:
Nice, LEGO really stepped up their game for the new Mando figure.
Would've been cool if this set came with a Bantha figure, though. It's about time we got a proper one.
in the build image (not the box art) Mando's rifle is built incorrectly: he's holding the barrel of the pistol and the handle is attached to the lightsaber hilt used for the barrel.
Silver Beskar armor on the Mandalorian in such a small set is a huge draw - and look at the silver metallic spring - loaded shooter ammo!
I'll be buying this for sure. On one hand, the figures are great and the speeder is serviceable. On the other, the structure and the crossbow assembly are...lacking. I'll likely part those out.
It'll add to my parts collection, and get me Bes'kar Mando (WITH ARM PRINTING) and the Child. Easy buy, no questions asked

I made a Cobb Vanth using a Boba Fett torso, Han Solo legs, and maroon arms. An extra red bandana I had was the perfect touch.
This is what we call a GREAT set
This is the way!
I'm gonna buy it on the first day of 2021. :-)

That’s actually a really awesome custom minifigure design. What head and hair did you use?
I would love for a set of Cobb’s speeder, I mean, they literally could just take the engine off of the pod racer set and it would be perfect.
As much as I'd like to get the Razor Crest this makes it far less tempting.
Well played Lego! I think this will be tricky to get hold of for a while unless you are quick on the keyboard!
That’s like, pretty awesome.
I like the speeder design and obviously Beskar Mando is cool, but the rest of the set isn't very interesting to me. I don't mind though; the parts are in useful colours so it will be good for parting out.
A cheap set with baby Yoda, What a freaking steal
Pure fan service. Perfect. Beskar armor version, speeder bike which is new and an important feature in the start of season 2, plus a bunch of useful parts in a small, affordable set. Day 1 for me ! I like the hut too.
The Beskar Mando looks amazing with the arm printing, and getting him and the Child in a cheap set is great. Plus you just can't have too many Tusken Raiders.
Just wish they could have included a Bantha, it's been my most wanted Lego Star Wars item since it was in the Lego Star Wars game!
I held off on all the other Mando sets for some reason, and now I'm glad I did. This set is nearly perfect! Only downside is the Mando's dismal weapons
Oh I'll get it (should have included a Tusken dog but that's ok), This Mando will replace the other one in his ship. Getting it.

I agree with you.
I. NEED. THIS. NOW.
"THAT BESKAR IS OURS"- Random Quarren Mandalorian S2 E3 The Heiress.
day 1 purchase! excellent!
I love it so much.
The only thing that would be nice and I can’t believe that I’m saying this is if the Tusken turret had stickers on the front.
Definitely a day one purchase.
Can’t wait for the other 2021 sets to be revealed.
At first sight I thought there was a giant sand colored dragonfly in the set, than I realized, that's the ballista/catapult/whatever thingy.
I think one piece is missing from this set: the Mando's silver jetpack.
And something I really want to know because I don't understand the fuzz: what is this hype for the character Cobb Vanth? He's just a random SW dude, who apparently wears an iconic armor for a short time. Honestly, I don't get it.
Whilst I appreciate that it's nicer to have these figures available at a lower price point for most folks, the rest of the set seems quite disappointing imo. Half of a tusken tent and a ballista with no real adversary? Who knows, maybe there's enough parts to make a full tent once the ballista has been cannibalised, but the set seems like a wasted opportunity in my eyes sadly.

Nope
@Anak Cobb Vanth is a character from the comics that apparently became quite popular among serious fans. Also, in the show, he is one of the cooler side characters to have been introduced, and has quickly become a not so serious fan favorite. He has a cool vibe and is the closest thing Star Wars has to a cowboy. So the reason for the hype around him is that even though he’s just a “random SW dude”, his coolness doesn’t come from his importance to Star Wars as a whole.
Finally! The Tusken biplane!!
Best set of 2021, already.
Bought on sight, though I wish it featured a Krayt dragon and smaller side builds.
THIS is the WAY??? NO WAY!!!
30 bucks for "the man, his ride and the child" AND a Tuskken Raider with a new Bantha would be the way!!! This scenery is not only totally wrong according to source material, it is also a big high five to aggressive behaviour. (I know, we're talking bout STAR WARS, an no, I'm neither a teacher nor a father). But give it to a kid. After assembly what can it do (except for creating something new out of it)? It can create fight after fight after fight...
Including a Bantha for sure would be "minimal bulding experience" at this price. But once done, the kid has options. The characters can ride together or hunt each other. Get the point? And useless to say, all of you could easily build better ballistas and better Tusken camps!!!
By the way: nobody is complaining about the little amount of sets for the "Rebirth of STAR WARS"? By now we should have had at LEAST two more sets from season one. One including Kuill and a Blurrg; another Mof Gideon and his TIE fighter. For season two it is more than time to now introduce a Quarren as a minifigure. And give us Bo Katan and the mysterious one in updated female Mandalorian armour... ;-) THIS WOULD BE THE WAY. An old man has spoken!
Let me guess. They are only going to sell it in the US, not print enough sets and sell out in 10 minutes? Sounds about right.
Does anyone see any interesting new parts/elements?
in the built set picture (not the box art) his gun piece is attached wrong on his rifle and it bothers me.
Let's hope they have enough of these sets and don't go on backorder for months at a time like the 501st set. I know people are buying the 501st to build armies but I wouldn't past LEGO to under stock an item that's obviously going to be popular.
@Mosquitosquisher7 said:

The satchel for the child is new as far as I know.
Did anyone else see the error in the official image? They attached the barrel of Mando's rifle to the handle part of the blaster pistol piece, not the pistol's barrel.
I’m happy about the inclusion of Beskar Mando and a sub-$80 Baby Yoda, but it’s weird that there’s no Minifigure for the Marshal. For heck’s sake, the episode that this is based on is named after him. The builds are great, though, ignoring the lack of a Krayt Dragon to shoot the ballista at.

So how many should they make? If you can provide LEGO with accurate, ongoing forecasting across the 100+ markets they sell in they'll give you a job and you could name your price.
It's incredibly difficult to calculate demand and to determine if apparent popularity will translate into actual sales. It's sensible for LEGO to be initially conservative with production numbers - they've been burnt before.
This set will sell like hot cakes. Maybe we can get a bantha in a future set that compliments this one?

No, it's from 60202 People Pack - Outdoor Adventures.
@Anak said:

That seems to be sadly missing indeed.
Why do they still do Mando's rifle wrong.
Where is the buttstock on it?They keep giving it a pistol, then lightsaber hilt and wrench but it needs a longer stock back there. Why not just the stormtrooper blaster rifle then the rest.
Definitely picking this up, but I agree with those who are underwhelmed by the Tusken hut and ballista. Looks like a fun set for the kids, and the AFOLs are going to mod it out. I don’t think I have any terrain-/building-based SW sets that I haven’t modified... that’s just how it goes, I guess!!
Love it. The Child for AUD $45, a Beskar armour Mando and decent builds are all that is needed! Disappointed by the lack of Cobb Vanth or jetpack, but this is the way!
The best part of this set, besides Mando’s beskar, is the price, so I’ll no doubt buy it.
However it took me a long time to figure out what the cross between the dragonfly and helicopter was. Including a krayt dragon, even if it was just its head protruding from the ground would have given this set a purpose. Alone this build is very disappointing and nowhere near as good catapults from Endor or ballista from LOTR.
As it is, I do see value in the tent as it could be used for Anakin as well. I like how it opens up, although I do wish it could be fully enclosed, but perhaps that’s a simple modification. And the speeder, it’s at least a new one.
I hope when they release a set with Ahsoka it is much more substantial. Of course I would like to see Bo-Katan as well. I’m a little surprised that the Mandalorian isn’t getting all that many sets. But the same is true of Rise of Skywalker, it seems Lego is more interested in looking back at the original trilogy, perhaps it sells better.
I love the updated armor, however I’d rather see the inclusion of the matching jetpack instead of the cape, particularly considering the actual episode.
I have the same issue with the excellent Mandalorian battle pack.
To all those wondering why Cobb Vanth, the Krayt Dragon, etc. are not present, or why Mando is fighting a Tusken: TLG designer have to make these off of reference given them by Lucasfilm, and generally these references do not include potential spoilers. This is the designer's best guess at recreating the scene, they probably didn't know about Cobb Vanth etc. Especially with The Mandalorian, Star Wars is keeping secrets under wraps. That's why we didn't get Lego Baby Yoda for a long time too. I'm sure we'll see "spoiler" content in later sets.

Oh please don't be so naive to think LEGO hasn't done and isn't capable of major inventory failures in supply and demand. This isn't just a simple "hard to calculate" excuse. They spend millions on researching their markets so even though they don't have a crystal ball they know what sells. They've also done preodrders in the past for previous higher price point sets (even the Razor Crest) to gauge interest. The price point and build is decent, as well as the characters being popular. As long as they don't make lazy, half baked sets like the 75201 First Order AT-ST it seems like it'd be a no brainer.
@TomKazutara said:
"whuuuaaat, this set don't cost 60€ ?"
Just wait for the announcement of the official pricing. Somehow I see this being far cheaper in the US than in Europe, 30 USD but 40 Euro or so.
Would be happy to be proven wrong of course.
Day 1 buy, if it doesn't run out.
TLG, Please do not make the same mistakes as the 501'st Battle Packs availability. Ramp up your production and prepare your inventories on this one, pleeease.
Is it the first time they use a LEGO minifig on the box art, instead of a live action version of it?

You're the one being naive if you think it's easy to forecast such things. In just this one comment section there are wildly differing opinions being expressed, from it being a "must buy" to it being "one of the worst Star Wars sets." Which voice is LEGO supposed to listen to? Let me guess, the one that matches yours? Grow up.
And it's due to their failures as to why LEGO tends to be cautious about stock.

Judging by the fact that the positive comments about the set in this comment section outweigh the negative ones about 99 to 1, I think I happen to agree with him.
Beskarr Mando with ARM PRINTING! In a 30$ set! WITH THE CHILD! Do I have to say anything else?

I stand corrected - clearly forecasting is easy and requires no thought whatsoever. Silly me. LEGO needs to make twice as many as they were going to, since so many people on the internet said they liked it. After all, people on the internet always follow through with what they say, especially when it concerns spending money.
I didn’t read all the comments, but did anyone notice in the first photo his blaster is backwards

Great for the Mando/bike/Baby Yoda side, the Tusken side is something I like personally but I can see why people are disappointed. A second Tusken might've sweetened the deal if spoiler characters weren't ok. I look forward to buying it all the same. I've still no Mando LEGO.
Isn't Mando the first SW character in years to have arm printing? Maybe we can see an arm printed Greedo again soon or something? or Boba's gauntlets? I'm sure Cobb Vanth is excluded for spoiler reasons, unfortunate though.
I'm surprised it's been so well-received. It looks like a complete disaster to me. Sure, it's a cheap way to get the Child and the (for now) exclusive beskar armor, but the rest of it is... very meh. Looks like a Junior set.
That Tusken hut must have been spat out by the Krayt Dragon, and the ballista looks messy.
The speeder is a mish-mash of colors. I suppose they're going for a junkyard aesthetic with it, which would have been fine except that the one in the show looks nothing like it.

What makes an in person voice different from an internet one? Is an in person voice more likely to buy than an internet one? Don't tell that to the 501st set. Besides isn't that what market forecasting partly involves? Analyzing buyer trends, customer feedback, etc? Again, LEGO spends millions on market research so they have the data.
In either case, agree to disagree.

You're like the tenth person to comment on that.
OK, what I like about this set is the Mando minifig, and what I like about this set is the Mando minifig. Did I happen to mention what I like about this set?
What I like about this set is the updated more detailed Mando with arm printing. They finally decided to use the lighter shiny metallic colour for his helmet which is more accurate to what his Beskar metal armour looks like.
However, why did they not include his jetpack? By now, and certainly in that episode on which this set is based, he had his jetpack!
Still don't understand why they have not given him new blasters, TLG has moulded special lego pieces before for POTC and LOTR/Hobbit, making a sword etc. just for one minifig in one set!?!?
I have just stuck the 'stick with holder' element, and lightsabre hilt piece to a long blaster rifle, because I think it looks more accurate to that rifle Mando caries. The 'nozzle with shaft' piece just looks horrible as a blaster. Lego should really just design a few new blaster pieces!
This set is all about that one Mando minifig, and that is also the biggest flaw of this new set. The rest of the set is rather lacklustre. Yes the speederbike looks pretty good, and the baby is included. The baby is awesome, and everybody loves baby 'Yoda'. Beyond this, what is the rest all about? That catapult thing, is well, a catapult thing. Does not look horrible, but not super appealing either. Is the other thing supposed to be a Tusken Raider tent?! Why are there only two minifigs in this set? Compare this to set 75280 Clone troopers for the same price with a whopping 6 minifigs (4 proper minifigs + 2 battle droids). They could have put in 1 or 2 more minifigs. Or better, a new moulded Bantha animal for that Tusken raider.
I want the new Mando minifig, speederbike with baby, but the rest of the set, which is still the majority of bricks in it are not well-thought-out.
This set should limited to 1 per customer on the Lego website.
I'm sure there will be plenty more Lego Mandolorian sets as the TV series continues.
Din Djarin in Beskar armor, yesssssssssssssss!!!

I feel you totally. This whole set just screams "MISSED OPPORTUNITY"!!! I can "live" with that speeder although it doesn't look like the one from the series. But NO JETPAC and no new BANTHA!!!
It's not enough that they made a Beskar Mandalorian, but they went all-out and gave him arm printing. If that's not enough of a reason to buy this set, I don't know what is.
I'm really hoping for a bo-katan and death watch set.
and his pod racer engine speeder!

As someone who hasn't been following the Mandalorian, I was very confused before I read the comments, glad I'm not the only one to see the resemblance!

"Is it the first time they use a LEGO minifig on the box art, instead of a live action version of it?"
Off the top of my head, the initial runs of Star Wars sets also had minifigs on the box art, loosely arranged in the style of the theatrical posters.
there are a bunch of embargoes on the Mandalorian, so Lego can't really plan the sets far in advance, that's why there are not figure for the surprise guest stars. but I really hope we get bo-katan.
A cheap way to get the Child? Sign me up!
So when are we going to get a UCS Krayt Dragon? Of course it would need to be Minifigure scale, and something just over the Colosseum's piece count may suffice. Lol :) As for this little gem what an excellent, affordable small set. Perfect Minifigures and nice builds. This is the way... to a day one purchase indeed!
I think this is a good set to start with, and Lego will go on to make nice Mandalorian sets. I doubt that we will get the UCS Krayt Dragon and maybe they will left out beloved characters as well. The problem I see is, that the interest in Star Wars has diminished in the target group (kids and parents) after the garish sequel trilogy and the permanent price increase. And while we praise the Mandalorian most kids don't even know he exists. Sad but true, I think. Two weeks ago I spoke to a local toy dealer. She told me, that Star Wars doesn't sell anymore after I asked for the new SW-Magazine (the one with Bespin Luke, which she hadn't even received). Not only that there is fewer interest, no: It. Does. Not. Sell. And she further told me, that she is ashamed by the price tag she has to put on the sets.
I don't buy alot Star Wars... I think alot interest in baby yoda and Mandalorian. I will be getting this one though.

Definite purchase.
What's with the biplane?
