One of the key highlights of these sets is the inclusion of some of the franchise’s most iconic LEGO Star Wars minifigures. And similar to the recently revealed wave of LEGO Marvel and DC mechs, this collection also reflects the unique features of their minifig counterparts. Seeing how Darth Vader’s trademark red lightsaber is scaled up and fitted to his mech is kind of pretty cool.

These LEGO Star Wars Mechs Also Come with Their Own Minifigures

LEGO has gone above and beyond to ensure its LEGO Star Wars Mechs are truly special. Alongside the impressive mech builds, each set includes an initial wave of selected minifigure that corresponds to the specific mech. Though these minifigures are not exclusive to these sets, it’s a great way and relatively cost-effective way to add them to your collection.

More LEGO Star Wars Mechs with Iconic Characters in the Future?

With the successful release of the initial LEGO Star Wars Mechs, it’s only natural to wonder about future possibilities. There’s a lot of potential here, and it’s not far-fetched that LEGO might release another wave in the future this time featuring other beloved characters like Yoda, Chewbacca, and even the iconic R2-D2. Imagine a brick-built, mech duel between the Sith Lord and Jedi Master Yoda, and the possibilities for play are truly exciting. The potential for new releases within this series is virtually limitless, and LEGO’s dedication to satisfying its fanbase ensures that thrilling surprises are yet to come.
