Lego Con 2022 brought a smile to the faces of LEGO Star Wars fans. Alongside a plethora of other announcements, the brand also declared the launch of their new construction toys, which are based on The Bad Batch series.
The series received a lot of praise from fans when it was released on Disney+ last year. The new Lego set inspired by the show features Cad Bane’s Ship - The Justifier - and an AT-TE Walker.
These Lego Star Wars sets are available for pre-order on the brand's official website. However, the launch is scheduled to take place on August 1, 2022. The Justifier is priced at $169.99, whereas the AT-TE Walker costs $139.99.
What to expect in the new Lego Star Wars Bad Batch sets
The first set is that of Cad Bane’s Ship, The Justifier, where the Bounty Hunter has imprisoned Omega. This Lego set comes with spring-loaded shooters and has a detailed cockpit with flight and landing modes. Fans will be excited to help Omega break out of the laser jail cell.
The Justifier retails for $169.99 and comprises 1022 pieces. Delivery options can be viewed on the website itself, which also has building instructions for the Ship.
The AT-TE Walker set has Commander Cody in the cockpit, armed with weapons and thermal detonators. Fans can also deploy the 212th Clone Troopers to fight off the on-ground Battle Droids.
This set retails for about $139.99 and has approximately 1082 pieces.
How have fans reacted to the new Lego sets?
These latest drops have attracted mixed reactions from fans. While some are delighter at the news of the launch, others cannot seem to partake in the excitement because they consider the sets to be over-priced.
