This new set, which is set to launch on July 1, 2025, consists of 1,088 pieces and marks the first brick-built Battle Droid since the LEGO Technic 8001 Battle Droid was released back in 2000.

This set is not just a toy; it's a dynamic build-and-display model that makes for impressive desk decor.

The droid can stand independently, equipped with its brick-built blaster either attached to its back or held in its hands. Additionally, the set includes a Battle Droid LEGO figure that can be placed next to the stand’s information plaque, completing a striking display.

LEGO has also made the building process easier and more interactive with the inclusion of step-by-step instructions. Fans can enhance their creative experience by using the LEGO Builder app, which offers intuitive 3D zoom and rotate viewing tools.
