75253 LEGO Star Wars Boost Droid Commander

LEGO unveils the Star Wars LEGO set today 75253 Boost Droid Commander (1177 pieces - 219.99 €), a new extension of his LEGO Boost concept initially available in the set 17101 Creative Toolbox then made especially compatible with LEGO CITY sets 60194 Arctic Scout Truck and LEGO Ninjago 70652 Stormbringer Dragon which then benefited from relative interactivity.

With set 75253 (availability announced for September 1, 2019), it will be a question of assembling three different droids from the Star Wars universe, R2-D2, Gonk and MSE-6 (Mouse Droid), and allowing them perform various actions using the dedicated application (iOS and Android), the Bluetooth hub, the motor and the sensor provided.

LEGO therefore provides enough to assemble the three droids at the same time but only delivers one set of motorization elements that will have to be moved from one model to another to be able to take advantage of the promised interactivity.

We will talk about this set in due course on the blog.
