Today we take a quick tour of the content of the LEGO Star Wars set 75362 Ahsoka Tano's T-6 Jedi Shuttle, a box of 601 pieces currently in pre-order on the official online store at the public price of 74.99 € and which will be available from September 1st.

This is not the first interpretation of the T-6 Shuttle, LEGO had marketed a version based on the animated series. The Clone Wars in 2011 under the reference 7931 T-6 Jedi Shuttle (74.90 €). This new version is inspired by the series Star Wars: Ahsoka the broadcast of which begins on August 23, 2023 on the Disney + platform.

Even though the series has yet to air at the time of this writing, we already know what the ship looks like thanks to a mockup display during the last San Diego Comic Con and some sneak peek shots. of the ship in the trailer. This is a simple children's toy of barely 600 pieces and we can conclude that the designer is doing quite well given the reduced inventory and the target of the product.

We find the two integral and rotating wings, they pivot 360° around the cockpit. Too bad for the dressing of the lower face of the ship, LEGO does only the minimum and it will be necessary to be satisfied with it. If we forget this detail, the rest is rather well executed with a pretty pad-printed canopy, engines that are relatively simple but sufficiently detailed to be credible and wings in double layer of plates which remain very rigid during handling. Only one place in the cockpit, on this scale, impossible to do more.

It is a bit difficult to grab the ship by its central part and I can see from here the youngest grabbing it directly by the wings, no risk at this level. It is therefore not the ultimate exhibition model, but there is enough to please fans of the series and the character while waiting for a possible more opulent interpretation intended for adult fans.

Even if the set is very quickly assembled, the ship is fun to build and then we will have fun for a few minutes spinning the wings around the central section. The solution used to embody the main functionality of the ship is not very elaborate but it works perfectly.

LEGO unfortunately does not provide support to present the ship in flight configuration and that's a bit of a shame. I'm not worried, fans will take care of this problem with part-based supports and the various manufacturers of acrylic supports should not be left behind.

The landing gear is symbolized by two moving parts fixed to the central section of the ship and it will be necessary to fold them so that the wings can be positioned at 90°, it makes sense. Two Stud Shooters are installed at the end of the wings, you can remove them easily if you consider that they give a look too playsets overall, and there are two somewhat cramped compartments on the center section of the ship to store things like sabers or handguns.

We stick a handful of stickers but nothing excessive at the level of these stickers which bring a little finish to the construction. Too bad for the Turntable gray which remains clearly visible just behind the cockpit, but I think that the youngest will not hold it against LEGO.

This box allows you to obtain four characters: Ahsoka Tano in Rosario Dawson version, Sabine Wren in Natasha Liu Bordizzo version, the droid Huyang and Marrok the former imperial inquisitor turned mercenary in the service of Morgan Elsbeth. All these new figurines are successful, no doubt about it.

Legs stamped for everyone and new accessories for Marrok, LEGO was not stingy on this file. Marrok has no face, you have to be satisfied with a simple black head under the helm. I'm not sure if Huyang is the right color in the LEGO merchandise, but we'll have to wait to see more than his brief appearance in the trailer.

In short, it's a nice product that will easily find its audience and should satisfy several generations of fans. The public price charged by LEGO is only a starting point, it will be possible to find this box much cheaper elsewhere with a little patience.

We are quickly interested today in the content of the LEGO Star Wars set 75359 Ahsoka's 332 Company Clone Troopers Battle Pack, a small box of 108 pieces which will be available at the retail price of €20.99 from August 1, 2023 via the official online store and LEGO Stores.

The title of the product is sufficiently self-explanatory, this is a Battle Pack or a pack of minifigs intended to swell the ranks of a battalion or an army of figurines. LEGO is therefore content to coat the content of the product with a few parts to justify the designation of construction toy, but the main subject obviously remains the four characters provided.

We will quickly forget the micro-mortar provided, it necessarily brings a little playability but it is still very basic with this Stud Shooter loosely staged on its four-legged stand. The Swamp Speeder included is correct without being transcendent, you can install two minifigs by storing their handguns on the sides of the rear engine and the machine is equipped with two Stud Shooters which allow you to have a little fun. Minimum service for additional construction but it's always taken.

Un Battle Pack LEGO is above all a handful of figurines which in principle should allow you to build a small army at a lower cost. Here, we can count on three generic Clone Troopers but it will be necessary to deal several times with Captain Vaughn in the case of the acquisition of multiple copies of the product.

The latter can be rid of the visor of his helmet but the stripes stamped on the unique torso will still be there. This small graphic detail will however be easily forgotten in the middle of several rows of Clones, the legs and the helmet of the character being identical to those of the other three soldiers provided.

The pad printing of the helmets is generally successful despite the obvious technical constraints and very faithful to those of the reference accessory, but LEGO still finds a way to miss one of the four Clone heads provided in the copy I received with a big white streak between the two eyes. (see photo below, head of the first Clone on the left).

So we get four nicely executed copies of the new helmet with side holes and LEGO logically recycles the generic torso and legs already seen in many sets since 2020: the squad staged here is above all a company of the 501st Legion. The blue jetpack is not new, it is the one already delivered in 2020 in the set 75280 501st Legion Clone Troopers.

I remind you for all practical purposes that the visors and rangefinders are delivered in an individual bag per set of four units of each of these accessories. Only one visor is used here, so you will have enough left to equip other Clones if you feel like it.

This Battle Pack does not deserve it, it will offer fans the possibility of building a small squad and obtaining several very decent Swamp Speeders along the way, given the limited inventory of the product, but it will be necessary to wait for an offer that allows afford these boxes at a price lower than that requested by LEGO. 21 € for that, it is in my opinion a bit expensive even if Star Wars fans have long been resigned.

Today we are quickly interested in what LEGO presents as the 150th BrickHeadz minifigure in the range launched in 2017, the LEGO Star Wars reference. 40539 Ahsoka Tano. THE vote organized in November 2020 to determine the license of the minifigure that would have the honor of wearing the number # 150 was decided in advance and LEGO logically thought of the many Ahsoka Tano fans following the victory of the Star Wars license on the three other themes proposed . The bet was far from won in advance, it was a question of converting a character with curvaceous organic attributes to the cubic format imposed by the exercise.

The designer is doing relatively well if we admit that it is the format that decides the rest. This new BrickHeadz figure follows all the usual codes when it comes to torso size, hand and foot shape, and minimalist interpretation of the face. Red guts and pink brains as often inside the figurine, flat face with the usual eyes, here it is necessary to count on the pad-printed tribal patterns and on the two-tone quilts of the creature for the incarnation to work. In any case, this will be enough for many fans of the LEGO Star Wars range who rarely look on the side of the BrickHeadz minifigures of the license are interested in this minifigure.

The assembly of the 164 pieces of the set is quickly dispatched but the process is not uninteresting: getting to give an organic side to a cube is a perilous exercise and yet it is the case here with quilts that fall perfectly on the shoulders. character and a level of detail that seems sufficient for a figure on this scale. The usual indulgence of fans of the Star Wars universe when it comes to merchandise will do the rest.

No particular marking on the base, I would have appreciated a small golden # 150 ", just to mark the occasion. The collection of figurines already marketed is impressive, more than 150 different products in 4 years with unnumbered figurines, it is is a nice challenge for collectors knowing that some of these ultra-limited BrickHeadz are overpriced on the secondary market and that the best complete collectors will never have the one with the number # 57 anyway. on its shelves. The reference which occupies this slot, the set 40316 which should have allowed to reproduce Geoffrey the giraffe mascot of the Toys R Us brand, has in fact never been officially marketed. set instructions are available and you may need to use the star-shaped stickers from the set 40228 Geoffrey & Friends to dress the figurine.

That being said, this Ahsoka Tano figurine deserves to wear this number which marks a significant milestone, it manages to convince despite the limitations of the format. In my opinion, this is not the case with all the products sold in this range and we can consider that fans of the Star Wars universe have been doing quite well since 2020, the content of the set 75317 The Mandalorian & The Child (295 pieces - € 19.99) is also very suitable.

This small product will be available at the public price of 9.99 € from January 1, 2022, at this price there are not many questions to ask if you are a fan of this character who has accompanied a whole generation of fans with the animated series. Star Wars: The Clone Wars et Star Wars Rebels and who is also embodied in Live Action in the series The Mandalorian by the very convincing Rosario Dawson.

Note: The set presented here, provided by LEGO, is as usual involved. Deadline fixed at December 22, 2021 next at 23pm.

Another two new minifigs from the first wave 2013 of the LEGO Star Wars range also available on eBay: A 501st Clone Trooper from the set 75002AT-RT and Ahsoka Tano which will be delivered in the set 75013 Umbaran MHC (Mobile Heavy Cannon).

The Clone Trooper fulfills its contract with a nice silkscreen print, and I believe The Clone Wars fans have been waiting for this release so much that the 75002 set is likely to quickly hit top sellers.

Ahsoka's minifig is a nice evolution of the 2008 version which hadn't changed so far and which we got in 5 different sets between 2008 and 2010. A more detailed torso, screen-printed legs, nice effort.
