The post New Lego Obi-Wan Kenobi set recreates the shows most disturbing moment appeared first on Game News.
]]>Available to pre-order now for $49.99 from the official Lego store (opens in new tab) (or £44.99 (opens in new tab) if you’re based in the UK), this Lego Obi-Wan Kenobi set features the Jedi as he appears in his new show, Darth Vader himself, unexpected ally Tala Durith, and episode 3’s MVP NED-B. They come with a mini-diorama based on the mining planet Ben’s hiding out on, including the rocks Vader hurls across the ground and sets on fire.
We should clarify that you can’t set these particular bricks alight but, somewhat disturbingly, you can levitate poor old Ben in a Force choke with see-through blocks that raise him off the ground (which isn’t something we’d expected to say regarding Star Wars gifts, but there you go).
This kit will join the other Lego Star Wars sets on August 1, 2022.

Revealed through Obi-Wan Wednesdays (opens in new tab) on the Star Wars website, it was just one part of the day’s surprises. We’re also getting some new Retro Collection Star Wars action figures from Hasbro featuring the Grand Inquisitor and NED-B, not to mention a plush LOLA droid. While the latter isn’t quite as cute as the adorable animatronic LOLA revealed back in May, it’s still very sweet (and probably a lot cheaper, to be honest).

]]>The post You can literally get in the trash (compactor) with these new Star Wars Lego sets appeared first on Game News.
]]>These Star Wars Lego sets are something of a departure for the company; although you can still set them up as you see fit, they’re dioramas on scenic display bases that feature quotes from the movie in question. As an example, the Dagobah kit features Yoda’s famous “do or do not. There is no try” line. So far as we can tell, that’s a first amongst Lego Star Wars sets.
While the Death Star Trench Run Diorama (available for $59.99 from Lego (opens in new tab) and what we assume will be the same price from Amazon (opens in new tab), once it’s up for purchase) is awesome, the standout might just be the Death Star Trash Compactor Diorama. You can pre-order it for $89.99 from the official Lego Store (opens in new tab), and it features a moving wall to squeeze in the characters. There’s even a miniature version of R2-D2 and C-3PO on the other side, recreating the moment where they try to shut the compactor down.

The Dagobah Jedi Training Diorama (which you can pick up for $79.99 via Lego’s site (opens in new tab) and soon from Amazon (opens in new tab)) also has plenty of cool-factor. It depicts Yoda’s hut – that he’s able to actually go inside – amongst the swampy forest, Luke’s submerged X-Wing, and the young Skywalker himself as he tries to lift his starfighter free with the Force. It’s a clever piece that doesn’t waste an inch of space.
You’ll find a more detailed breakdown of each Star Wars Lego set below. We’ve included the latest Lego deals further down the page as well if you’re in the market for something new.
New Star Wars Lego sets – details and pre-orders
Lego Death Star Trench Run Diorama | $59.99 at Lego (opens in new tab) / Amazon (opens in new tab)
Ships April 26 – The cheapest of the new diorama kits is based on Luke’s final gambit in A New Hope. Once you’ve constructed the complex machinations and turrets of the battle station itself, you can place Luke’s X-Wing, Darth Vader’s personal craft, and two TIE Fighters into the action with clear plastic stands. Two of these can be blasting lasers at Luke as well, adding to the drama of the scene. All told, this set has 665 pieces.

Dagobah Jedi Training Diorama | $79.99 at Lego (opens in new tab) / Amazon (opens in new tab)
Ships April 26 – Pulled straight from Luke’s arc in The Empire Strikes Back, this kit (with its 1,000 pieces) shows off Yoda’s hut in the heart of the swampy Dagobah forest. The trailing leaves and clear green bricks for water give it a real sense of place, and it manages to cram a lot of detail into a very small space.

Death Star Trash Compactor Diorama | $89.99 at Lego (opens in new tab)
Ships April 26 – This is the most expensive of the new diorama kits, but it’s also potentially the coolest. Using its 802 pieces, it depicts the original movie’s trash-related escapades as Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewbacca become in danger of being squashed by the Death Star’s waste-disposal system. The walls even move in or out, which is fun.
UK price: £79.99 at Lego (opens in new tab)

]]>Three new Lego Star Wars helmet kits make up this wave, and it includes entries from the Disney Plus shows as well as the original trilogy. You can pick up Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing pilot headgear (opens in new tab), the helmet of the Mandalorian himself (opens in new tab), Din Djarin, or the head of a droid Dark Trooper (opens in new tab). Each one costs $59.99 in the USA and £54.99 in the UK.
Luke’s pilot gear features a brick microphone to go with an orange visor and nameplate. Meanwhile, Mando’s shiny chrome look has been recreated here with metallic Lego bricks to simulate its Beskar construction. Finally, translucent red and white parts help the Dark Trooper’s eyes glow. They all stand at around seven inches tall.

Because previous Lego Star Wars helmets were good enough to be in the running for many best Lego sets guides, these should impress in person; they’re detailed builds that make good display pieces. As you can probably see from the gallery above, they also capture the look of their inspiration well despite being made up of bricks.
In short, these are good options if you’re looking for a fine addition to your collection. They’d probably make good Star Wars gifts for your loved ones, too.
