Since the creation of the Microfighter subtheme in 2014 – following its successful soft launch as convention exclusives in 2012 – this growing collection of exaggerated and slightly-out-of-scale conveyances (both vehicles and beasts of burden) has proven a popular addition to the LEGO Star Wars license.
Representing the personal starship of The Mandalorian, 75321 The Razor Crest Microfighter is a vehicle that has also been released in the 2020 and 2021 Advent calendars, as well as the System-scale version that was clumsily dubbed The Mandalorian Bounty Hunter Transport due to a court case in Germany.
It immediately became a hit amongst Star Wars fans, and its status was elevated to iconic when it was destroyed in the second season of The Mandalorian live-action series.

No amount of distractions is going to prevent the average age-appropriate builder from putting this set together in less time than it takes to watch an episode of the TV show that it comes from, while a builder with above-average skills could assemble this before the first ad break (if there were any).
When it comes to building this set, it’s a relatively simple and straightforward model – after the set’s sole minifigure is completed, a series of mirrored steps that sees the cockpit/main body come to be is next, followed by the sets only 2x sequence – the engine pods.
On the plus side, the overall model is what you’d expect – a chibified version of The Razor Crest. It pretty much captures the shape and color of the on-screen version, includes two projectiles (in the new stud shooter) and with only one minifigure – The Mandalorian – this set is unencumbered by elements and accessories that push the price up.
Minifigure collectors take note, this is the cheapest way to get a minifigure of The Mandalorian (sw1166) in silver beskar armor with a jetpack.
Perhaps the set’s designer could have made more effort to get the cockpit to stand out from the new style stud shooters which tend to dwarf the curved nose brick and the transparent cheese slope, and reduced the number of bricks holding the engines to the body to give the ship’s lines a more streamlined appearance.
Either way, that this set fits perfectly in a child’s hand is a good reminder for whom this construction toy is aimed at, and no amount of lamentation about what bricks were used and debates about the pros and cons of the new shooter will take away from the fun that a child will get from it.
Overall it is a very affordable addition to a toy box or LEGO Star Wars collection, and is available – if you can find it – at general retail and through the LEGO website and its global chain of branded stores for US$9.99/CA$13.99/UK£8.99/EU€9.99/AU$17.99 now.
