Another window is situated on the other side, nestling among tree roots. The distinct shape is cleverly recreated using tan wheel arch pieces, which have not appeared in this colour before. Furthermore, those tree roots are integrated beautifully, generally following the contours of the hut, but leaving some gaps to give the impression of natural growth. Yoda's hut has been represented twice before at minifigure-scale. However, those two designs focused upon play value, whereas this rendition prioritises accuracy. The resultant structure is exceptionally detailed and its rounded shape looks outstanding, recreating the hardened mud construction associated with Yoda's home. However, there is an obvious issue with R2-D2 here, as the dome printing is woefully askew. Similar problems have occurred consistently since 1999, so their repetition is frustrating. The issue is never universal though and will hopefully be relatively isolated on this occasion, since this design otherwise looks superb. Typically, odd lengths cost more than you’d expect. Typically, they also have higher resale values, because they also tend to be less common. Nearly 200 trans-green 1x1 tiles comprise the swamp, alongside 1x1 plates. That blending of different textures is nice, including bubbling water around the exposed X-wing S-foil. However, even more effective are the various colours underneath these plates and tiles, giving a realistic illusion of deeper water further from the shore."
For LEGO fans my age whose favorite childhood sets may have been Forestmen sets like 6066 Camouflaged Outpost, the combination of arches and flat leaf pieces capped by 1×2 plates or tiles will feel nostalgically familiar. Step-by-step guide – Are you a newcomer to LEGO® building sets? No problem. There are illustrated instructions in the box to help you build with the confidence of Jedi Master Yoda As we noted earlier, the third bag of parts consists entirely of trans-green 1×1 pieces (both tiles and plates), which cover the variously colored layer below to convey differences in the swamp’s depth. I’m not much of a mosaic builder, but I learned that placing about 200 1×1 pieces without paying attention to my form can result in some mild repetitive stress pain — I can’t imagine what CJ and our #MosaicsOnMonday builders must feel! Anyway, once you’ve finished laying down lots of landscaping detail, you’ll finally start building Yoda’s hut and the mangrove-like trees it sits under. The set was provided for review by LEGO. All opinions expressed are those of the author. Minifigures LEGO Star Wars Diorama Sets are a series of LEGO sets recreating unforgettable scenes in the Star Wars franchise. Each set captures the details, suspense and nostalgia of beloved moments in Star Wars history. LEGO launches the new product line in late April 2022. Here’s everything you need to know about the LEGO Star Wars Diorama Collection.Dagobah Jedi Training Diorama represents new ground for LEGO Star Wars as a theme, both in comparison with what it has been able to offer before and in terms of what it now could be capable of moving forward. Nearly 200 trans-green 1x1 tiles comprise the swamp, alongside 1x1 plates. That blending of different textures is nice, including bubbling water around the exposed X-wing S-foil. However, even more effective are the various colours underneath these plates and tiles, giving a realistic illusion of deeper water further from the shore. The price per piece should exclude 1x1 plates, pips, and tiles, to give a true impression of the value for money. In this set nearly 200 trans green 1x1 pieces are used. Subtract that from the piece count and then re-do the maths. This set is tremendously expensive for what it is. A nice model and a lovely rendition of the scene. But pricey. That said, LEGO know that if you want it, you should buy it now. Waiting a few months will leave you in the manipulated scalpers market, likely paying double. Either way, it’s likely to sell out soon. During the build, I felt like I was attaching a lot of random arches and curved slopes to build up Yoda’s hut and the trees. However, upon completion, they fit together rather beautifully.
R2-D2 might be the most exciting figure among these three, unusually! The famed Astromech droid rarely experiences substantial changes, so decorating the reverse of his cylindrical body feels significant. The design looks great, matching both the onscreen character and the panels across the front. I love the splattered mud as well, even though Artoo's struts seem too clean. There are no play functions in this set, no opening doors or sides to the hut and no movement in the starfighter wing – everything contributes to setting the scene, everything is there for visuals, even if you can move the minifigures around and play with them as usual. This set is part of a collectible series of buildable LEGO Star Wars diorama models, each depicting an iconic Star Wars moment, to spark nostalgia for any fan With particular consideration to what has now been confirmed as 75330 Dagobah Jedi Training Diorama, anticipation also pegged these sets as likely being on the larger size and even with the sets now revealed, a 1,000-piece Dagobah-based display piece could and ordinarily would have you dreaming of something larger than what 75330 Dagobah Jedi Training Dioramaactually is, particularly when 2018’s 75208 Yoda’s Hut came in at a similar size for the little green guy’s home and was made with just 229 pieces. Yes, for 1,000 pieces you would hope for more, and yes, maybe there was a better colour combination to choose for depicting the swamp, but otherwise, we can agree with Yoda: size matters not.
Luke Skywalker's training on Dagobah is probably my favourite sequence from throughout the Star Wars saga and 75330 Dagobah Jedi Training presents the scene beautifully. The swampy environment looks marvellous and features exceptional detail, while Yoda's hut achieves superb accuracy when compared with the source material, as anticipated. Inspired by Star Wars: A New Hope, the LEGO Star Wars Death Star™ Trench Run Diorama invites builders to recreate the gripping scene of Darth Vader™’s pursuit of Luke Skywalker™, as Luke fights to destroy the newly-built Death Star for a victory on the Rebellion side. Finish off the build with the memorable words of Darth Vader, “The Force is strong with this one.” The trench run set runs afoul of the "amount of stuff you get" test IMO because part count isn't the only factor that should be used to judge price. There are no minifigures to bolster the asking price and there are a lot of small pieces with, what, just the turret being posable? That set is also physically quite small. The LEGO Star Wars Diorama Collection takes this design aesthetic to the next level, featuring a crisp box that defines the edges, complete with a plaque on the front and what appear to be vents on the sides — almost as if this is an electronic device like a holo-projector. You spend the remainder of the build process filling in landscape and structural details within this box.
A wisp of smoke wafts from the other side of Yoda’s hut as the ancient Jedi master cooks a pot of rootleaf stew. For me, I like them all. But, the Trench Run seems less economical to me because there are no minifigs. I'm a minifig junkie and am salivating over the new droid prints. That said, I will probably wait for a discount/GWP for all of them. Gift idea – Treat yourself or give this 1,000-piece set as a holiday gift or birthday present to an adult Star Wars™ fan, passionate LEGO® builder or collector of LEGO Star Wars dioramas The swamp around the hut has a number of plant-based elements ready to ping off should you attempt to dive in with those clumsy fingers, while the trees are likewise very much built into the hut and with a higher number of looser-than-usual connections than you’d otherwise expect. Luke's double-sided head has been assigned a new part number, but appears identical to the previous design. His concentrating face, with closed eyes for using the Force, looks absolutely perfect. Yoda appears unchanged too, although his torso also features a different number in the instruction manual. Regardless, no changes were needed because the Jedi Master's worn robe looks marvellous.The LEGO construction involves a collection of curved slopes and bows, avoiding the same shapes appearing too frequently. The integration of dark tan and olive green highlights looks wonderful, alongside a tiny plume of smoke. Additionally, the high window reflects the original building, while the window that R2-D2 peers through would be positioned behind the tree, so outside the scope of this model. Display value is evidently paramount across the new Diorama Collection and this rendition of the swamp surrounding Yoda's hut looks fantastic. While the colours are inevitably earthy, the vibrant trans-green of this swamp is striking and tan elements are reserved almost exclusively for the hut, ensuring the structure stands out within its organic surroundings.
As of spring 2022, LEGO will have released a wave of 3 different Star Wars diorama sets. LEGO plans to release additional waves of dioramas in the future. Diorama Price Range LEGO fans have been building small dioramas and calling them “bignettes” (big vignettes) on a defined footprint for quite a while. Some builders have even incorporated edges on their scenes to create even better-looking display pieces. As mentioned, the colour of the swamp is somewhat jarring, but for display purposes, it really helps add life to the overall scene and contrasts nicely with the tree and hut above the surface.The buildable LEGO Star Wars Helmet series also features an 18+ recommendation for similar reasons as the dioramas. How many LEGO Star Wars Diorama set are there?
