Today we're taking a very quick look at the contents of the LEGO ONE PIECE 75642 Showdown with Captain Smoker set , a 547-piece box available since August 1, 2026 at a public price of €59,99 on the official online store and for a little less elsewhere.
LEGO invites us to recreate the confrontation between Luffy and Captain Smoker in the alleys of Logue Town. As is often the case, everything is highly symbolic, and we have to make do with two relatively ordinary facades and a stall that vaguely represents the area's "lively market." The backs of the two structures aren't bothered by a high-end finish; this playset is meant for fun, and the available spaces must remain easily accessible.
We're used to it; nobody really holds it against LEGO anymore for suggesting rather than reproducing. However, the statue seen in several scenes during the confrontation between the two characters is still missing; we'll have to do without it.
The product offers a bit of playability with Smoker's motorcycle, which largely cannibalizes the product's inventory and leaves few options for giving buildings the Mediterranean city look seen on screen, as well as a mechanism built into the blue-fronted building that allows three sections of wall to be ejected.
Perhaps younger children will find it appealing, although I always wonder who these children are who will be satisfied with this type of toy for more than five minutes after finishing the assembly.
As for the included minifigures, they're quite decent for a set in the middle of the pack, featuring Monkey D. Luffy, Sanji, Monkey D. Dragon, and Captain Smoker. The latter, despite his self-explanatory name, unfortunately comes without his cigars, which is a bit ridiculous: LEGO is offering a children's product based on content streamed on a streaming platform, and these children will have seen the character smoking anyway.
If younger viewers were to be influenced by either of these two things, the live-action series is more likely to entice them than a simple toy. A simple printed design on the corner of the minifigure's lips would have been enough to make it more accurate and wouldn't have instantly turned young fans of this universe into tobacco addicts.
Smoker can either be equipped with legs or enter smoke mode after consuming the Moku Moku no Mi, and LEGO interprets this state in a somewhat messy way by mixing white and translucent elements. Visually, I find the result disappointing and far from faithful to what we see on screen.
Despite the presence of the sword shop, Zoro is conspicuously absent from the set, and there was undoubtedly room to include him without changing the retail price.
Upon arrival, this spin-off from the Netflix live-action series is decent considering its position within the 2026 release wave. Even though the included diorama is basic and Logue Town frankly deserved better, the cast of minifigures saves the day. It's a shame about the large sticker sheet; the graphics are well done, but it's a lot of stickers for such a small box.
In terms of price, we're not quite at the best possible deals yet, but this set, like many others, will quickly end up in clearance sales everywhere. If your minifigure collection can wait, you'll soon save enough to make this set much more attractive than its retail price.
