Ahead of Star Wars Day on May 4, LEGO teased the launch of the newest member of the Ultimate Collector Series, The Mandalorian's N-1 Starfighter. The 1,809-piece model recreates the sleek, silver-hulled spacecraft with what LEGO described as "advanced building techniques" and Drum Lacquered silver pieces. The set includes Mando and Grogu minifigures and an adjustable stand with dual orientation. So, you can decide whether to display its profile or a head-on view for an "action-ready stance."

Starting today, May 1, the set will be available for LEGO Insiders, while everyone else can pick it up starting May 4. It retails for $349.99 in Canada.

If you've ever thought of building The Mandalorian's iconic ship, you'll get the chance to do that with Lego. The company just launched a 6,187-piece construction set of the Razer Crest for US$600 (around CA$819). Of course, the ship will come with minifigures of Grogu (a.k.a. Baby Yoda), Mando, Kuiil, Mythrol, and a buildable Blurrg.

This rather expensive model is large at 72 cm long, 50 cm wide, and 24 cm high. You get removable engines and cockpit, an escape pod, and a mini figure-size carbon-freezing chamber. It also comes with a stand and information plaque you can display after it's built. Yes, there is also the shift knob that's fascinated Baby Yoda. If you're willing to drop the big bucks, LEGO VIP members get first dibs starting October 3, with everyone else getting the chance to buy one starting October 7 online and through LEGO stores.

This feels like something that should've been around longer. But now, we finally get it. There's a Tamagotchi version of Grogu a.k.a. Baby Yoda. You take care of the little guy by feeding him squid chowder and macarons and play mini-games. You can unlock a bunch of outfits for Grogu. 

But be warned, you shouldn't overfeed him. Apparently, "if you feed the Grogu Tamagotchi too much squid chowder, the squid will jump on him." According to Bandai Namco, the Grogu Tamagotchi will be available for preorder on Amazon "soon."
