About this deal

Unfortunately, this window should actually display a floral design. While that would have been welcome, I understand LEGO's desire to capture the distinctive angular decoration associated with Mandalore. Furthermore, the smashing window function is excellent and corresponds with the animated series, when Maul breaks through this window. Yes, it is the same Ahsoka design that appeared in last year’s 75283 Armored Assualt Tank (AAT), so it does relegate that set’s relevance, as now this fantastically-designed and long-awaited version of the female former Jedi apprentice is available in a set at half the price. Her minifigure design does not disappoint, capturing the right level of detail and colour to her outfit as seen in The Clone Wars Season 7. There are LEGO® Star Wars™ sets to thrill fans of all ages, whether they want to recreate memorable scenes, roleplay their own stories or just build and display the authentic buildable models. Duel on Mandalore is all about the characters included and the designs for both Maul and Ahsoka Tano do not disappoint. Ahsoka may be the same as her appearance in 2020’s 75283 Armored Assualt Tank (AAT), but a year on her design remains on point. If there was one room for improvement, perhaps it could have been in producing a new mould for her Togruta headtails, as they weren’t really as long as her minifigure design depicts. LEGO® components meet stringent industry standards to ensure a simple, secure connection every time – it’s been that way since 1958.

Clone Wars S1-5 were released normally on cable. S6 was direct-to-video because they cancelled the show before it could be released. S7 is paywalled on D-. What’s more intriguing is that the rest of the LEGO Star Wars line-up is scheduled to retire by the end of next year. That includes mainstays like 75192 Millennium Falcon and 75257 Millennium Falcon, alongside 75290 Mos Eisley Cantina, 75308 R2-D2 and 75309 Republic Gunship. By contrast, other themes have sets destined to stay on shelves until as far away as 2026. The LEGO Group has been recreating iconic starships, vehicles, locations and characters from the Star Wars™ universe since 1999. LEGO Star Wars has become its most successful theme, with a variety of fun sets to excite creative kids and adults too. Did I miss something or is this set based on the clone wars? This is confusing since these 2 characters fought in the Rebels, not in the clone wars show. The actual fight happened in the clone wars was maul and oppress vs sidious. If so this set is incorrect. And Ahsoka here is clearly the one from the rebels." I have no idea where you got the impression that this was designed to be a convention exclusive. It most certainly is not and drawing comparisons with the Throne of Ultron is ridiculous.

It’s because Maul uses a double-bladed lightsaber that has a really long hilt. Using the standard hilt looks a bit silly because there’s clearly only enough room for a one-handed grip. The MK handle is slightly longer and doesn’t have the decorative details, meaning it could potentially accommodate two hands...but it’s still way too short. My solution (which has been well-received by everyone I suggested it to) is a little more involved, and a lot more accurate. Switch to 3L bars, because you should be using those for all lightsaber blades (otherwise, they’re as long as a minifig is tall, which just looks wrong). Then combine a standard lightsaber hilt with a matching telescope (this does, obviously, limit your color choices, but both are available in light-bley). When assembled, this will be about the same length as the official version, but you can actually pose Maul with both hands on the hilt. With a regular stud connection in the middle, it’s a bit fragile compared to normal lightsabers, so they’d never use this in an official set, but it looks so much more accurate than anything else I’ve seen.

The double-sided head features smiling and determined expressions which look superb beside accurate facial tattoos. Superb detail adorns Ahsoka's montrals too. However, this element was originally designed for Shaak Ti, hence the lekku appear too long for Ahsoka. Introducing a new component would therefore have been appreciated here, especially because the element might be required again for a minifigure inspired by the character's live action design. The comparison to the Ultron set really was an apples to oranges thing. But I’m not here to beat up on it.

Numerous depictions of Maul have been released since 1999 and another unique example is available here, based upon the final season of The Clone Wars. This minifigure features great detail, especially across the torso and mechanical legs. I love the metallic silver designs which demonstrate outstanding accuracy when compared with the onscreen character.

There are LEGO® Star Wars™ sets to thrill fans of all ages, whether they want to recreate memorable scenes, role-play their own stories or just build and display the authentic buildable models.Maul is perfectly designed in almost every detail and represents a more-than-credible new edition for anyone’s LEGO Star Wars collection, even if it already includes more than a few previous versions of the former Sith. The only area to improve would be a better colour-match between the red printing on his face and chest – one is slightly brighter than the other. Duel on Mandalore includes a brand new and exclusive Darth Maul minifigure and an expertly-designed Ahsoka Tano minifigure previously only available in a set priced twice as much. Combined with a couple of fun and story-relevant builds, there’s little to criticise the price of this set – at least in the context of other LEGO Star Wars products. — Pictures — Last year’s intended-for-SDCC set 77905 Taskmaster’s Ambush can still be had for a low price, but for how long?"
