[Review] 2020 LEGO Star Wars 75267 Mandalorian Battle Pack

[Brickmont13]

Introduction

Hello!

In celebration of The Mandalorian Season 2 starting I am going to review set 75267 Mandalorian Battle Pack.

This set contains 102 pieces and features four minifigures, one speeder bike, and a defense fort/ambush point.

Full disclosure; While being a big Star Wars fan, I don’t have too many SW sets in my Lego collection. Prior to getting the Mandalorian sets the Lego SW Microfighters Series 1 sets were the last Lego SW purchases of mine. 

Released in the US on 1/20/2020 the set retails for $14.99 USD and is rated for kids 6+ and any Adult with spouse/partner permission.

At the time of this review the set is currently available from all major Lego retailers.

Another dimension! The printed building instructions that come with all LEGO sets are easy to follow, but interactive Instructions PLUS, available within the free LEGO Life app, add another dimension. Even younger kids can simply zoom in on, rotate and view the construction model as they build the real-life version. Awesome! Star Wars action in LEGO style!

Box Front / Back

Pictured is the front of the box. Unfortunately there is no Mandalorian branding on the packaging which bums me out a little.

The back pictures do a good job of showing what the sets playability will give.

 

Contents and the build

The set comes in three bags. One of which is the mesh dot bags which reminds me of the sets I would get as a kid. I get nostalgic feelings when I open these mesh bags so I’m very interested to see if the new paper bags will deliver a similar feeling down the road. 

Opened bags = Let's get building!

The figures do not have any face prints, which works because a Mandalorian shouldn’t be taking their helmet off. This is the way.

Minifigures fully assembled and ready for some bounties.

**Caution** The fins of the speeder bike fins are limited in movement and snap off if moved past a point.

Speeder ready for battle!

Construction of the Defense Point. Unfortunately the Defense point doesn’t do much for me. An alternate build using both the speeder and defense point parts would have been appreciated.

 

Extra Pieces

The visors are nice extra pieces, but I don’t think I’ll use them for these figures.

 

Final Build

The minifigures all have nice figure prints. All prints are unique except for the brown suit legs which does not have a print. (Stands not included in the set)

 

Suggestions / Tweaks / Personal Opinions

Weapons/ Accessories:

I think a rifle or other long range weapon would have been nice to mix up the Bounty Hunter looks. While all four minifigs come with capes, a backpack/ rocket pack should have been included.

Speeder:

The addition of a couple trans-clear round 2 x 2 bricks would have been awesome to give the speeder a hovering look (think lego dimensions stands).

Defense point:

A weapons locker/ rack would have fit better in place of the defense point.

Overall Thoughts

While this is a great army builder or display set I think some minor tweaks could have produced higher playability. Overall the set should appeal to a SW fan of any age and fit well in any collection.
