Lego adds Mandalorian, Dark Trooper and Luke Skywalker pilot headgear to Star Wars helmet collection

Star Wars Dark Trooper helmet on display

Lego has added three new character designs to its popular Star Wars helmet collection, and we’re loving them. Fans of the franchise can now build and display hero Luke Skywalker’s pilot headgear, show allegiance to The Mandalorian or tap into their dark side with a Dark Trooper helmet. 

Presented as both an immersive building experience, and as an executive display piece when completed, the sets are as rich in detail as their predecessors. Star Wars Luke Skywalker helmet features a brick-built microphone, translucent red visor elements and nameplate, while the Mandalorian’s helmet uses metallic Lego elements to recreate the shine of Beskar armour.

The new models join a line-up that also includes Boba Fett, Darth Vader, Stormtrooper and TIE fighter pilot, and are available to pre-order now, before officially launching March 1.  They’re priced at £54.99 each.

Sci-fi dino actioner 65 snaps at the heels of the Jurassic World franchise, like a feisty Compsognathus taking on a behemothic Bronti.  Don’t go expecting a convoluted franchise wannabe though. This is a pacy, pulpy romp with a high concept premise. Interstellar trucker Mills (played by Adam Driver) crash lands on a prehistoric planet, his…
