Every Mandalorian LEGO Set, Ranked

This set calls back to the first episode of The Mandalorian Season 2, where Din Djarin and Grogu track down the owner of Boba Fett’s armor, Cobb Vanth. Unfortunately, this set focuses on the Mandlalorian’s skirmish with the Sand People and not Cobb Vanth, leaving this set with not much exclusivity packed into it. Still, LEGO fans will remember this set as the first one to include the Mandalorian’s now-iconic Beskar armor, so it will always retain a level of nostalgic value.

Everyone loves army builder sets, which of course refers to any set jam packed with soldiers, troopers, or other figures that would help fill the ranks of your LEGO minifigure armies. This set, based off of The Mandalorian season 2, is one of the few Mandalorian sets to NOT include the titular character. Still, it offers a solid build, two exclusive minifigures, and a memorable vehicle from the series. What’s not to love? 

I suspect that readers may view the placement of this set on the list as controversial, but allow me to explain… bigger does not always mean better! Coming in at $159.99, this is the most expensive Mandalorian set to date, not to mention, one of the most expensive minifigure scale LEGO Star Wars sets of 2021. The set includes several repeat characters like The Mandalorian, Cara Dune, and Grogu, and also comes with new minifigures like Moff Gideon, a Dark Trooper, and Fennec Shand.

A big appeal of this set is its size (which is AWESOME!) and its minifigures, which I suspect won’t be exclusive for long. Rumor has it that we’re getting a Dark Trooper battle pack in 2022, and Fennec Shand will most definitely be included in a Book of Boba Fett LEGO set someday given her co-star status on the upcoming show. With that in mind, that means that nearly every minifigure in this set would be a repeated figure, which drives down the “wow” factor of the set. It’s still an awesome set (and one I highly recommend) but do be aware that it may not retain its gigantic supremacy in the long run. 

LEGO Star Wars battle packs are sets in the $15 range that serve as army builders. Put another way, they’re small, relatively inexpensive sets that include around 4 minifigures of the same ilk, allowing you to bolster your army of Stormtroopers, Clone Troopers, or in the case of this set, Mandalorians. This is a set that I think will always be sought after, given the popularity of mandalorians and the wealth of unique pieces that come on the minifigures in this set. I can’t give investing advice, but I do have a few of these tucked away in mint condition with plans to retire on them someday.

This set caused controversy as soon as it was revealed due to it being the first Star Wars product with the rebranded name of Boba Fett’s iconic ship, the Slave 1. An entire article could be written on that debacle, but the set itself has a lot of merit and offers some great play features at a somewhat reasonable price. Not counting the Slave 1 that came in the UCS Betrayal at Cloud City set, this is the smallest minifigure scale Slave 1 in recent memory. It continues the trend that started earlier this year from LEGO, where they’re offering smaller versions of iconic Star Wars ships at a somewhat cheaper price. Personally, I hope this trend dies soon because I love big, detailed builds—even if they cost more. Still, this set looks great, doesn’t take up much shelf space, and who doesn’t love the exclusive Boba Fett that comes with it?

Coming in at the #1 spot is the Mandalorian’s now-disintegrated starship, The Razor Crest. This set displays great, has a very sturdy build, and offers tons of play opportunities from the unique cockpit build to the side panels that open to reveal a detailed interior. This is one of my favorite LEGO Star Wars sets of all time, and with that, it rightfully sits supreme over the rest of the Mandalorian sets released so far.
