Two new LEGO Star Wars helmets revealed: 75327 Luke Skywalker & 75328 The Mandalorian [News]

This morning Amazon.pl revealed two new LEGO Star Wars sets from the ongoing helmets series, 75327 Luke Skywalker (Red Five) and 75328 The Mandalorian. Luke’s helmet has 675 pieces, while the Mandalorian’s features 584. While there’s no price listed for the sets yet, expect them to run about $59.99 each, in line with previous helmets from the series. We expect that they will be available starting March 1. Like the other buildable helmets, each set comes with a display stand and printed plate with the character’s name. Interestingly, the Mandalorian’s helmet appears to differ a bit in construction from Boba Fett’s helmet that was released in 2020.

LEGO BrickHeadz 40549 Demogorgon and Eleven – Get ready for some Stranger Things [Review]

Few characters sweep the world like “Eleven” from Stranger Things. Since its premiere in 2016, Millie Bobby Brown’s immensely quirky character has proven to be iconic in every season. Meanwhile, the feature creature of the first season inspired dread and fear in all of us. Hailing from the mysterious and grotesque “Upside Down” version of our own world, the “Demogorgon” made a perfect Eldritch beast for the beginning of the series. Despite the immediate success of the series, it’s surprising that LEGO took until the third season to release the award-winning set 75810 The Upside Down. With a summer 2022 release still possible for season 4, LEGO seems to be getting ahead of the hype with two new BrickHeadz. The LEGO BrickHeadz 40549 Demogorgon and Eleven will be available from the LEGO Shop (US $19.99 | CAN $24.99 | UK £17.99) on February 1.
