Puzzle Games Star Wars: The Mandalorian Spider tank

It really looks like the car designers in star Wars The universe throws anything at the wall they can think of and hopes it sticks. How could anyone think that a towering four-legged infantry AT-AT would be the best way to navigate an icy planet when simply flying over uneven terrain would be easier and less likely to get stuck in wires?

We have similar concerns about the practicality of a tank that looks and moves like a large, many-legged spider, as we saw in Season 3 of Star Wars: The Mandalorian. On the other hand, this 526-piece set looks a lot of fun to build, and is almost worth the $50 price tag for the three included minifigures: Grogu, a hyper-accessible Bo-Katan Kryze, and Mando himself with his Darksaber at hand. You can Pre-order the Spider Tank set now from the LEGO websitebut you will have to wait until August 1 for it to ship.

Available in spring for $25, this number brings a welcome pop of color to Tusken’s unique, but usually cute and beige outfit.

The games were only made available in Japan, making it difficult for international collectors to find one. Thank God The Hasbro Pulse online store has added a third option, with Nemesis Prime (I think Optimus is an evil person) transforming into a Canon EOS R5 replica at 80% scale, accessories including an AllSpark, a lens hood and a small Canon camera that the robot can use to take pictures. that it Available for pre-order now for $132but won’t ship until January of 2024.
