LEGO 75310 Star Wars TM Duel on Mandalore

Product Information

Awesome for solo or group play, this building toy makes the best birthday present, holiday gift or fun treat for creative kids aged 7 and up who are into Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Unless you guys have inside knowledge of LEGO’s production and distribution plans, and even if you do, there is no need to act like know-it-alls." Includes 2 LEGO® minifigures: Ahsoka Tano with 2 lightsabers and Darth Maul with a double-bladed lightsaber to play out battles. 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."

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. Correct, and by the number assigned to this set, people are assuming this too is a set that would have been a Comic Con exclusive. The question is whether LEGO will produce enough of these that it will be a while before the price goes through the roof. 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. 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.Furthermore, the metallic straps around Maul's waist look superb, even integrating tiny yellow highlights which match the source material. The head includes lovely decoration too, returning from the Crimson Dawn minifigure produced during 2020. An angry expression may have been appropriate here, although Maul's intricate tattoos look magnificent, as normal. 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-. The comparison to the Ultron set really was an apples to oranges thing. But I’m not here to beat up on it. 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. 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.

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.LEGO has developed products featuring various lightsaber duels, including the dangerous battle between Ahsoka Tano and Maul. The impressive 75310 Duel on Mandalore has therefore kindled remarkable anticipation, providing both famous combatants from the encounter. Awesome for solo or group play, this building toy makes the best birthday present, holiday gift or fun treat for creative kids aged 7 and up who are into Star Wars: The Clone Wars. 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. 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.

Try buying an authentic Ahsoka for less. The rarity of the character will help drive sales of this, plus Maul is another popular but underserved character. People have enough Harry Potter minifigs that some might have been put to use leveling tables by now. Pitting Darth Maul (as he is referred to on the box art, though by Clone Wars Season 7 he was known merely as Maul) against Ahsoka Tano, 75310 Duel on Mandalore represents the culmination of two of the Clone Wars television series’ leading characters’ respective stories, as they come face to face on Mandalore. Played out in the latter episodes of Season 7 of the show (released on Disney+ in mid-2020), it is a moment of brilliant story, character and action, and the perfect subject for a duel-themed LEGO set. It’s best not to take too many things personally, even if they’re meant that way (unless it’s clearly a ToS violation, in which case just report it). 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 — LEGO® components meet stringent industry standards to ensure a simple, secure connection every time – it’s been that way since 1958.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. Ahsoka Tano and Maul are undoubtedly the highlights of 75310 Duel on Mandalore and these minifigures are excellent. Maul's intricately detailed legs are especially impressive and Ahsoka compares favourably with her animated counterpart too, although an adjusted montral element would have enhanced this popular minifigure even further. 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.
