Star Wars The Razor Crest (75331)

Product Information

It’s oversized like most UCS sets is not in scale. The original version was much closer in scale - it’s only about three meters longer than an X-wing and they blew up the size for the interior." The LEGO Group was founded in Billund, Denmark in 1932 by Ole Kirk Kristiansen, its name derived from the two Danish words LEg GOdt, which mean “Play Well”. Today, the LEGO Group remains a family-owned company headquartered in Billund. However, its products are now sold in more than 130 countries worldwide. A bit more framing with large Technic beams and we can really see the lines of the hull taking shape. By the end of the first manual (Bag 9), the scale of the model also becomes apparent, as it’s close to its final length of 28 inches (72cm), and you start to get a sense that minifigures could actually walk around inside this vessel. The Razor Crest includes three traditional minifigures, plus Grogu in his hovering pram, and a blurrg. All of them attach to the info placard base. LEGO components are dropped, heated, crushed, twisted and carefully analysed to make sure that they comply with strict global safety standards

v1.02 fixed some errors in the inventory and steps 20, 38, 39, 293, 294, 300 & 301 (thanks mountainridernzl) A. As every part from the original kit is highly reused in every possibility, you have to be patience when looking for the part that seems to be missing. Because it will be found at the later steps that it will not be used in this MOC. Sometimes UCS sets don’t include great minifigures (looking at you, Imperial Star Destroyer), but LEGO did a fairly decent job with their selection for The Razor Crest.FURTHER PRODUCT INFO: LEGO® STAR WARS™ THE MANDALORIAN RAZOR CREST ULTIMATE COLLECTOR SERIES SET (SKU: 75331) September 2022: The LEGO Group is thrilled to reveal their latest Star Wars™ Ultimate Collector Series (UCS) - the LEGO® Star Wars Razor Crest construction set based on the starship from the beloved series The Mandalorian. The new LEGO Star Wars The Mandalorian Razor Crest set measures an impressive 72cm long, making it the biggest-ever LEGO model of the starship, and is ready to take you on bounty-hunting adventures across the galaxy! Sadly, the Razor Crest will grace our screens no more after its extremely untimely demise near the end of season 2. That has no bearing on my review of this model, but I’m salty because, in my opinion, the Razor Crest was the coolest on-screen ship since the original trilogy (and it reminds me more than a bit of Serenity). Don’t get me wrong; Mando’s new Naboo N-1 Starfighter is awesome, and presumably way faster. But just look at these two together. This is like switching from a Winnebago to a Corvette. Both have their qualities, but they’re so radically different that comparing them is nearly impossible. Give the N-1 folding wings and you could probably stow in inside the Razor Crest.

I would like to see it side by side with sets like the Millennium Falcon, Star Destroyer, and Republic Gunship. I'm having trouble getting a sense of size and therefore I do not feel like I can claim whether it is too expensive or not. Nor do we know how much in licensing Disney demanded for what is likely their most popular Star Wars project. In any case, it’s not that the Razor Crest is first UCS set to be minifigure scale—both the 75192 UCS Millenium Falcon and 75313 UCS AT-AT were roughly minifigure scale. But both the Falcon is so huge as to be a logistics nightmare to move, relegating it to a table prop rather than a functional vehicle toy. And the AT-AT on its spindly legs suffers much the same fate. The Razor Crest, on the other hand, is quite easy to move around, albeit carefully. The manual includes guidance on how to move it, though unlike some other UCS models (looking at you, AT-AT), I found in practice the model is quite robust and actually needs even less careful handling than the instructions indicate. What you cannot do, though, is make the instinctive move of lifting the model by its armpits, which is to say, beneath the wings. If you do, you won’t damage anything, but you’ll lift the engines and leave the ship behind! Includes 5 Star Wars characters: The Mandalorian, The Mythrol and Kuiil LEGO minifigures, Grogu LEGO figure in pram, and buildable Blurrg LEGO figure to fit inside The Razor Crest's cargo compartment

As per the usual on these rumors, LEGO has been known to adjust, delay, and even straight up cancel kits in the past. This is all based on the current information provided to 9to5Toys based on leaks and other reports. So until we see an official announcement or some kind of product assets arrive, it’s worth not taking this as fact just yet. Regardless, let’s break down what’s potentially on the way. The Razor Crests’ iconic silhouette, and curves are captured brilliantly here, and this looks like an all-time great LEGO Star Wars UCS set, and a HUGE upgrade to the playset version – 75292 Razor Crest. Q. The landing gears do not stay in their position, either the ship is in flying or landing position.

Please note if you have already built the kit, make sure you know how to disassemble it before buying this MOD. Of course, there are plenty of pictures and descriptions in the PDF to tell you how to achieve them. Enjoy and have fun!

Details

The engine cores are so part-dense that once this section is complete, it weighs nearly as much as the rest of the ship, but it feels very sturdy and the rigidity is confidence-inspiring. The Mandalorian series is a global phenomenon. The adventures take place five years after Star Wars: Return of the Jedi™ and follows Din Djarin™, a lone Mandalorian making his way through the lawless galaxy with his foundling, Grogu.
