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. 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. Features a buildable throne with a secret drawer containing a blaster pistol, a decorative surround including a pop-out window element, plus a Mandalorian vault with space for a LEGO® minifigure. Wow. Throne of Ultron is an SDCC exclusive with a really limited production run. This is a regular retail set that they’ll keep cranking out for about a year, and which will probably never sell for even half that amount. Not in my lifetime, at least. 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. 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. 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.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-. 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." 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 — 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. 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.

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.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.

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). 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.

It most certainly is not and drawing comparisons with the Throne of Ultron is ridiculous. 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, role-play 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.
