LEGO debuts a new Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series set of The Mandalorian's Razor Crest. The Mandalorian has been a big hit with Star Wars fans, with the series set to return for season 3 on Disney+ next year. The show follows Pedro Pascal as the Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin on his perilous adventures. Din's spacecraft of choice through the show's first two seasons was the Razor Crest, a military assault ship. Unfortunately, the Razor Crest met its demise in The Mandalorian season 2, when Moff Gideon's light cruiser blasted it to pieces.
Star Wars fans have already had a chance to build a LEGO version of the Mandalorian's Razor Crest that was released just after season 1 aired in 2020. That set features 1023 pieces and currently retails for $139.99. However, it's due to retire in December, with LEGO introducing a larger, more elaborate set to replace it.
LEGO has officially announced a new Ultimate Collector Series Razor Crest that is due to be released on October 7th by LEGO online and in stores, and earlier on October 3rd for LEGO VIP members. The set measures 9 inches high, 28 inches long, and 19.5 inches across, with impressively detailed interiors. This iteration of the Razor Crest has 6187 pieces and includes 5 Minifigures, including Din Djarin and Grogu, and a display stand for the completed build. However, the Ultimate Collector Series Razor Crest isn't cheap, as it retails for $599.99. Check out the new LEGO Razor Crest below:
Will The Razor Crest Return In The Mandalorian Season 3?
With LEGO debuting the new Razor Crest set and The Mandalorian season 3 set to release next year, fans may wonder if Din may once again be flying his iconic ship. As seen in The Book of Boba Fett, Din restored and is now flying an N1 Starfighter, which is likely to carry over into his continuing adventures. And while fans seemed to enjoy the nod the Mandalorian's new ship gives to Star Wars lore, the Razor Crest made an impression on audiences, who have come to love it and even find its destruction emotional, like it was a character itself.
What The Mandalorian season 3 has in store remains to be seen, though the latest trailer teased a journey to the Mandalorian home planet, Mandalore. Fans are eagerly waiting for the further adventures of Din and Grogu, who adorably have to sit closer together in their new N1 Starfighter. And while fans will have to wait until next year to see the new season, The Mandalorian's LEGO Razor Crest presents an excellent opportunity to connect with the show in the meantime, and it will likely make a lot of fans happy as the holiday season nears.
