Kids can recreate scenes from Star Wars: The Mandalorian Season 2 and play out their own speeder-bike-riding, missile-shooting battle stories with this Trouble on Tatooine (75299) building toy.
Includes The Mandalorian and Tusken Raider LEGO® minifigures, each with weapons for roleplay battles, plus a LEGO figure of the Child (the popular character affectionately known as Baby Yoda).
The speeder has a LEGO® minifigure seat and saddlebag for the Child to sit in. The set also features a buildable Tusken hut hideout and spring-loaded, missile-shooting ballista for the Tusken Raider.
Great for solo building and play or for sharing the fun with friends, this awesome construction toy makes the best birthday present, holiday gift or surprise treat for creative kids aged 7 and up.
The speeder measures over 1.5 in. (3 cm) high, 5 in. (13 cm) long and 1.5 in. (3 cm) wide, and this complete set combines brilliantly with other LEGO® Star Wars™ buildable playsets for creative play.
Thinking of buying this 277-piece set for a newcomer to LEGO® building? No worries. It comes with easy-to-follow illustrated instructions so they can build with confidence.
There are LEGO® Star Wars™ sets to thrill fans of all ages, whether they want to recreate famous scenes, roleplay their own stories or just build and display the authentic construction models.
LEGO® components meet the highest industry standards to ensure they are consistent and compatible for a simple, strong connection every time – it’s been that way since 1958.

Great price, great figs, but boring builds.
" This set is pretty good. Really, the real reason why Star Wars fans would be buying this set is for the minifigures. Beskar Mando looks phenomenal. It is by far, better than the original Mandalorian. This figure is extremely detailed, and is covered completely in fantastic printing. The only issue I have with this figure is that the fig does not have Din’s face and Lego instead opted for a black head, even though we have seen his face a few times now in the show. Also, a jet pack piece would have been nice, but it’s not a deal breaker. Grogu (The Child) is great, and it’s good that Lego have put him in such a cheap set. The Tusken Raiser is pretty good too, but nothing particularly special, apart from the excellent head mould. What this set really is missing, is a Cobb Vanth figure, with his speeder. If Lego added that fig with his speeder, and increased the set price by £5 or so, then this set would’ve been probably the best set of 2021. Lego have done an ok job with the actual builds in this set. The speeder bike looks great. But it’s a bit annoying that Lego didn’t put any extra room near the back of the seating area for Mando’s cape, as the cape is the old style, which is far less malleable than the newer, softer cape, and so moving Mando to and from the speeder will cause the cape to bend permanently, which is not good. The ballista looks good too, but it’s a bit simple, and doesn’t function how a real ballista would, but ultimately, if you’re just displaying this set, that doesn’t really matter. Lego really did drop the ball with the Tusken tent though. Because it’s brick-built, the tent has massive gaps and is missing a full half of the tent, which doesn’t look great. This is the worst thing about the set though, and really, it’s not that bad. Overall, this set is pretty good. For the price, you get amazing figures, and decent if also uninspiring builds. This set is missing Cobb Vanth and his speeder, and those omissions really do hurt the set. So, based on all of this, I’d give this set a 7/10.

Great value!
" I bought this set about a week ago, and I'm so glad I did! The car is well built, sleek, and is a bargain at £18 (honestly, Lego could probably get away with selling this at £25). I really appreciate how customisable the set is- you can add these flame pieces to make it more comic book accurate, or you can leave them off and keep the slanted black pieces on the side, making the car look super sleek. What I am disappointed by, is the minifigures. On the whole, the minifigures are good, but some attention to detail is needed. The Ghost Rider fig is definitely the best in the set- his unique duel moulded head looks great, but the torso printing is a little dull and Lego completely skipped out on leg printing all together. Carnage is a good figure, and is generally a better looking figure than the Carnage we got in 76036 (especially the tenticles). Personally though, I am a little fed up with Lego milking these symbiotes (especially Venom) and would have much preferred to see a Hob Goblin (just like the previous Ghost Rider set from 2015) or a Shocker figure, or just a Spiderman villain that we have never seen before (like Morpheus for example). What is a huge step back however, is that Carnage is not given arm printing, when the 76036 Carnage had pretty good arm printing. What is the biggest disappointment for me is the Spiderman fig. This figure does look better than the version Lego was releasing last year (I think the head and torso pieces look so much better than the 2019/ 2020 version) but the arm printing is a little rough. Lego made the right decision to add arm printing, but the lack of multiple layers of printing on the arms is apparent, as instead of a dark, vibrant red, the arms have more of a brown hue, which doesn't look particularly good. The biggest offence however, is with Spidey's legs. Lego has made a U-turn, and now has Spidey with regular blue legs, rather than the duel moulded ones they were giving him just months prior. Obviously this was a cost saving method, as I'm sure the arm printing wasn't cheap for Lego to produce, but the fact that the arm printing doesn't look that good rubs the salt in the wound of the exclusion of duel moulded legs. Overall, this is a great set, with good value. I just wish Lego put a little more effort into these figures.
