Day 724, Quasi-Quarantine: Stunning, Flexible Set Renders Boba Fett's Throne Room


With Lego having a mini-revival in our house, my building partner was not-so-patiently awaiting the arrival of Boba Fett's Throne Room (set 75326). 

He had been slow to take to Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett saga, but worked his way through it at his own pace and ended up loving many elements of it.

The 732-piece build features a slightly-too-steep price -- making decisions to use allowance money on it fraught -- but the tag is somewhat offset by the stellar, unique minifigures.



On top of the Boba Fett featuring new printing and the Fennec Shand that comes with a hairpiece instead of a helmet, five new characters are included. Bib Fortuna, Quarren, the Weequay Guard, and the Gamorrean Guard are all beautifully rendered, and the Theelin Dancer is a nice addition as well.

On the playability front, the set can be moved into a number of configurations, with a hidden compartment, a pop-up ejector function for the throne itself, tilting steps, and an opening gate.



By folding out the front, a kitchen and barbecue area with rotisserie is revealed. The throne room itself if flanked by a guard tower and gate on one side and a small bar nook on the other.

Best of all, the set can be combined with a number of other Tattooine-centric builds to re-create the most impactful planet in the Star Wars universe. This dad and building partner can't wait to see all the different ways we can incorporate this set into a myriad of missions.
