The Razor Crest (75292) is a great Star Wars Lego set. The outside consists of 2 lazer guns on the front, spring-loaded missiles on both sides between the engines which you push down on vents to fire. There is also an escape pod on the top of the ship. There are fold down hatches on the front sides the one on the left is a bedroom and the one on the right is a spring-loaded missile storage.

The cab consists of 2 seats and a printed computer. Behind the cab is a pull-up weapon storage for 2 weapons. The back of the ship consists of one ramp on the back two big fold downs on the side, and also two small ramps in front of that. Which means basically the whole back folds for room to play. Inside the back there is a carbonite rack with two carbonites and the fugitives printed on the carbonite the mando captures in season one of the mandolorian. Overall i think this set is great and would definitely recommend buying whether you're getting it for play or for display, it is great for both.

For any traditional collector, and while waiting for its UCS version, the Razor Crest essentially adds to its collection. Very 'solid' construction, many Technics pieces, with many and fun game possibilities. It is true to the original design. The choice of minifigures is enjoyable: Mando, Scout Trooper, Greef Karga, IG-11 and Baby Yoda (AKA Grogu). Of course, it came at a premium price (EUR150) but it is worth it for anyone who has enjoyed The Mandalorian.

Opening;

( Spoilers for a reveal in the Mandalorian season two but not to do with this ship a character included )

The Razor Crest was my big Christmas present of 2020 in terms of size and may be my favourite set of all time , the build is unmatched in size and detail and accuracy for the scale , unfortunately though , the Minifigure department whilst being good could do with some switching and adding .

The Minifigures-

The minifigures are good first starting with Din Djarin himself the Mandalorian he is reused from the 2019 AT-ST raider which wasn't accurate to that episode that the set was based off and isn't accurate to the one that you can infer this set is from , he has a gun metal grey Mandalorian helmet (too dark of a colour for his helmet but thanks 75299) , an unprinted black head , a dark grey thin cape , a torso with his chapter 1 a bit of 2 and 3 armour in excellent detail , his legs continue that armour to great effect , he wields his pulse rifle using a small blaster pistol attached to a dark brown lightsaber hilt with a black clip on the end , next we have the man Baby Yoda/The Child/Grogu whatever you want to call him he has a printed sand green head mould in rubber and a printed dark tan baby torso with not much but enough printing , next we have Greef Carga he has Finns hair in black , a smirking face and a grumpy one , his torso is very nicely detailed unlike his legs which are for some reason left blank , he wields two standard small blaster pistols , next we have IG-11 he has a printed 1×1 dark grey cylinder attached to a cone and clip , then attached to a dark grey battle droid body with a clip at the back , one vertical and one straight arm and some stationary dark grey battle droid legs , he wields a standard blaster and a long rifle , next we have a scout trooper he has the amazing dual moulded helmet which was introduced in 2019 , a lex Luther head and some continuous armour printing from torso to legs , he wields a standard black small blaster pistol and finally they are not really Minifigures but there are two carbonite Minifigures included they are stickers on 1×2×5 dark grey bricks one appears to be a mithral and the other a stubble bearing individual they are both tiled off at the top .

The build-

The build is a very interesting shape so I really don't know where to begin but here goes , the sides are attached with clips and use a big light grey panel on each side , with grilles at the top in dark grey and different shaped slopes at the base to show the area where the landing head retracts to in the show , toward the end of this panel there are a number of hinges behind to securely connect an angled 8×8 light grey plate which lines up great with the top level and makes a great Segway into me talking about the rear boarding ramp which is between both large panels , it is built on a dark grey 6×8 plate with angled plates ontop to create the necessary curve for the exterior panels to be flush together , there is a hinge connection at the base with two light grey 2×3 tiles securing them in place whilst two dark grey 1×2 grilles make for more detail , before the main side panels you have the side boarding ramps which are built on 4×6 dark grey modified plates with bars at the base and a 4×4 light grey tile with four studs used for a sticker showcasing some of the ships signature yellow stripes but the stickers for the stripes are in dark tan which I think works just as well , and the panels underneath the cockpit are attached with more secure hinges attaching them , these feature a thicker build with sloping right at the bottom and at the front , these also feature the main cannons of the craft with an elongated black technic pin for the tip of the barrel and a build around a long yellow technic axle there are two 2×2 light grey round bricks then some 1×2 dark grey technic bricks with jumpers and 1×1 dark grey round tile attached around some over hanging slopes for greebleing , at the rear there is a 2×2 round tile , a 2×2 light grey round brick and a dark grey astromech droid body with a half technic pin attached with another 1×1 dark grey round tile , underneath that there is a 3×10 light grey slope with more stripe sticker detail and above that a 2×3 light grey tile with strip sticker detail that lines up with the 3×10 , just above that , not attached to the retractable panel there are two 1×10 light grey slopes offset from one another that provide extra sloping towards the cockpit windshield , this is mirrored in both sides , at the very front nose of the ship there is a 4×8 black plate with a dark grey 2×4 tile and two 1×1 corner tiles in dark grey , around this there is a duplicated slope build made out of seven 1×3 half arches making the iconic rounded nose of the ship this is topped of with two 1×8 dark grey tiles so it is consistently smooth other than two light grey 1×1 hollow studs for what I think are the flood lights next to each other at the bottom of the front and finally there are three stations for landing gear all using the technic attached dark grey ski piece , there is one in the centre of the front and two embedded in with inverted slopes underneath the slope shapes on the main panels where the landing gear retracts in universe . Now the interior of the main cargo hold and the spots behind the cannon panels towards the front , when you pull down the main panels , the rear boarding ramp and the side boarding ramps you get access to a vacant but in a good way main cargo hold , on each side there are two essential and I mean ESSENTIAL technic lift arms on each side in light grey , just to note the main ship is built on a 2×6 light grey plate a pair of 6×8 dark grey plates and two 6×6 dark grey plates , the flooring is tiled and plates in light and dark grey , at the back near where the ramp closes there are two dark grey 1×3 plates and there is an assembly on some dark grey jumpers with a light grey 1×2 snot brick in the middle with a 1×2 dark tan tile on each side with a dark tan 1×2 cheese slope to wedge in the carbonite frozen individuals as this is where they go and when they are in they are pretty secure and that's it for this part of the interior . Now we move to the left side of the Razor Crest where if we pull down the panel which has the side cannon connected to , we reveal a sleeping quarters for mando and Grogu in the back there are two 1×4 light tan wall panels with stickers on each of them , the floor is fairly uneven as expected as this is just empty space Lego cleverly made use of , the bed has two light grey 1×2 jumpers then a 2×3 light grey tile with a 1×2 light tan cheese slope for the pillow , in the right hand side when you lower the panel that has the cannon you reveal , an almost empty room with just three 1×1 modified black bricks stacked ontop of one another with a vertical clip , Lego intend this to be the place for you to store you spare spring load but I use it as mandos signature weapons cupboard where I place his pulse rifle and the spring load when he is inside the cockpit and the floor in here is also as uneven as the sleeping quarters . Now moving onto the top of the craft starting at the back and moving our way towards the cockpit , the back area has a fairly decent overhang from where the cargo hold ends there are two modified 1×2 snot plates with a 1×4 dark grey plate with a 1×2 light grey grille attached in the middle and a light grey stud next to it on both sides , three 4×6 plates with studs around 3/4 sides are used to get a textured feel across the spine type area of the ship , one of the 4×6 is elevated compared to the others around here , there are long thin light grey angle plates underneath these , they are 1×6 underslope dark grey bricks and a various amount of snot pieces used to attach 2×4 dark grey slope bricks and a 2×3 light grey slope brick with a 1×2 light grey grille to make the angle perfect for where the back panels all line up , then there is a spot for the heat vents where there is a hinge connection on each side of a 1×2 black rounded plate attached to jumpers , just before the hinges there are two 1×2 black grilles and there are two on each hinge anyway , straight in the middle there is an escape pod that will be covered later and it is surrounded by round bricks at corners , bricks and brick slopes at the areas facing forward , with dark grey tiles ontop with the corners using 1×2×1 rounded tiles . The body then breaks off into a strut on each side ,with more dark tan stripes now with plates not stickers with 2×2 light grey triangle tiles around with some slopes going down to a spring loaded shooter placement where to shoot it you push down on a clip with a grille tile ontop , then some angled dark grey plates at the front to get the slope back , a newer slope piece( introduced in the 20th anniversary slave I ) to get the correct upwards facing angle and these surround the spring loaded shooters and two light grey CMF stands are used on each side to cover up the vibrant colours beneath . Before we do the cockpit we are going to do the thrusters the back end has an inverted 2×2 tile in trans orange in the base of a gun metal grey barrel used for the outlets of the thrusters , these are attached to a 6×6 light grey rounded plate , with a large light grey round panel on the outward side of each panel with a large and detailed sticker to further the shape , there is a big technic wheel in dark grey each with the intakes consisting of seven similar builds attached to a modified 2×2 with bars , there is a 2×2 light grey dome brick in the centre , the inner side has a similar build to the nose at the very front using the same light grey arch piece with a 2×4 dark grey slope brick used to make the builds more flushed with the wings that they are connected to . Around the cockpit there is further sloping down with more 3×10 long slopes with more sticker detailing for the stripes on each side ,and the back of the cockpit uses a large windshield piece in light grey attached to a clip assembly so it can hinge back to reveal two clips to store some weaponry or tools , the windshield is a new piece for the set and has great print with a modified 1×2 light grey plate with a bar as a handle to remove it and access the inside , the interior has a 1×2 dark grey printed console cheese slope , tiles around the sides and there are two red chairs for mando and another figure . And finally the escape pod is very reminiscent of the one that Rey uses from the falcon in the last Jedi , it has a circular window with a roof with tiles and layered plates the sides have 1×2 light grey cheese slopes and the thrusters use dark grey 1×1 cones and it is attached to the outside with a single 2×2 red jumper on a beam that runs through the centre of the Razor Crest for structural support .

In conclusion -

this is the longest review I have written to date but it is of a set that I adore the build is fantastic and packed with room for the figures and looks fantastic on display , my only issues are with the figures where mando is not in his beskar armour and where's kuil he should have been here also the scout trooper should really have a speeder bike but luckily if you have or are getting 75288 AT-AT that comes with a speeder that can be used for this scout also Greef looks fairly incomplete without leg printing so overall I recommend it to any Lego star wars fan as it is just fantastic .

It doesn't look like it but the set is very big and has a lot space for figures inside. Actually the included figures fill up only half of the interior or less!

It has a lot of compartments to put figures and accessories in:

• main cockpit
• weapon compartment behind the cockpit
• sleeping compartment and arrows compartment below the cockpit
• entire back section opening (though you can open just back hatch, or just side doors
• carbonite holding area with two blocks (with stickers)
• escape pod with space for one figure.

The weak points are - front part below cockpit and front engine parts tent to fall off easily. The main interior is a little low for IG-11 figure and it is hard to put him in. The set could be a little cheaper. I've got with a discount but at 114 euro it was still quite expensive.

At the time of writing, fans around the world are eagerly awaiting season 2 of The Mandalorian, and the continuation of Mando and The Child's story together. While season 2 will undoubtedly bring with it all new Lego tie-ins, to date there have only been two Mandalorian Lego sets: the AT-ST Raider, and the Razor Crest.

The personal ship of the titular character, the Razor Crest has become a fan favourite, possibly even standing to become a new Millennium Falcon to the latest generation of fans. As such it has justifiably been brought to life as a large-scale set, coming it at just over 1000 pieces for £120. As far as price-per piece goes, this is leaning slightly more towards to the expensive side of average, but there is so much about this set which makes it worth every penny.

The build is split into 6 sets of numbered bags, accumulating in a 3-4 hour build. There are some very cool pieces included in this set to bring the shape of the Crest together, most notably around the bulky twin engines. There is also a brand new canopy custom made for this set, perfectly recreating the cockpit shape in a way that would have been extremely difficult to achieve otherwise. There are a few stickers in this set, as you'd expect on a build of this size, but thankfully the canopy isn't one of them, so there's no risk of leaving conspicuous sticky marks on this beautiful new piece when attempting to get that perfect sticker alignment. Obviously stickers are a divisive point amongst the fans, but do give some added detail to the hull which again would have been tough to achieve just through bricks.

The initial part of the build comprises largely of Technic pieces, forming the bare bones of the Razor Crest on which the hull can take shape. Once this is done, the rest of the build is mostly made up of more traditional pieces. There is a little repetition to the build, most of which comes from the engines, as you may expect. But as these are the final part of the build, you'll most likely be feeling anxious to finish by this point and there isn't really any tedium to the process.

Out of the 50ish Star Wars Lego sets in my collection at present, this is only the second one I've built with an error in the instructions. Interestingly enough, the other was the AT-ST Raider, leaving me really hoping Lego will up their game a little for the season 2 sets! As with the AT-ST, this isn't a build-breaking error, but is just an error in the "list of bricks needed for this next stage" box on one instruction. It's easy enough to spot and correct, so shouldn't cause any issues for most builders. My other issue with the instructions is one quite common to larger sets, where some stages will only feature the addition of one or two smaller pieces, but the instructions aren't clear as to where they're being added to, leading to a game of spot-the-difference with the previous frame to work out what you should be doing next.

Small instruction nitpicks aside, once you've built the Razor Crest it's a sight to behold, and you absolutely feel like you've got your monies' worth. It's packed full of play features, with an accessible cockpit with space for 2 minifigures, a detachable escape pod, again with room for a minifigure. There are a pair of spring-loaded shooters, both of which are fully integrated and fired using buttons set into the top of the ship. The front side panels fold down to access the Madalorian's sleeping quarters on one side, and a small storage area for weapons and spare missiles on the other. The rear boarding ramp lowers, and the rear side panels can fold down, all of which provide access to the cargo hold, which includes 2 of Mando's bounties frozen in carbonite. Unlike the Han in carbonite slab which comes with several Slave-I and Cloud City sets, these aren't moulded pieces, but are just flat slabs with stickers. While moulded pieces would have been a nice touch, the flatter ones don't really feel like they're detracting much from the set, and it makes them easier to slot into the provided spaces in the hold.

The minifigure selection for this set is also top-notch. Obviously you get the Mandalorian himself, but as with the AT-ST Raider, he comes with his episode 1 & 2 armour, so no beskar for us. He also comes with a plain black head, so anyone hoping to see a little Lego Pedro Pascal will be disappointed. Aside from that, he's well detailed and a nice figure in general. You get Greef Karga, who at present is still exclusive to this set. He does have a nice torso print and and a reversable head with two expressions, but the figure is let down a little by having plain red legs, with no printing at all. Then there's IG-11, mostly consisting of grey battle droid parts, but a decent figure nonetheless. The Scout Trooper is a great minifigure, with nice torso and leg printing, and a fantastic helmet mould. Growing up on Return of the Jedi, the Scouts are my personal favourite Imperial troopers, and this one really does them justice.

And of course the most eagerly awaited minifigure: The Child, or "Baby Yoda". The box art doesn't do justice to how small he is, and he's just the right size to clip onto one of Mando's hands to allow him to be carried around. The head is nicely detailed and slightly rubbery, giving a bit of flex on those adorable ears. Due to his small size, the rest of his body is cast as a single fixed piece, so the only posability on the little guy is in turning his head left and right.

Overall, there is very little bad I can say about this set, and am happy to rate it 5 stars in every category. As mentioned, there's a slight error in the instructions, but nothing to justify marking down what could well be the best Star Wars Lego set of 2020.
