There are 3 new “exclusive” characters to collect, a Boy with a Guitar, Gingerbread Woman, and Mrs Claus. There’s technically only one brand new element introduced, a Christmas sweater torso. Or two,…

Are LEGO introducing a new Castle faction – the White Falcons?

May 1, 2022 By Jay 11 Comments

Hear me out, I think I’m onto something here. I believe LEGO may be introducing a brand new Castle faction – the White Falcons, to oppose the classic Black Falcons faction. I was at the Legoland Discovery Centre Melbourne to check out all the 1 May launches, and stumbled upon a whole set of new…

My review of the new 75349 Captain Rex and 75350 C My review of the new 75349 Captain Rex and 75350 Clone Commander Cody is up, and here's a closer look at some of the details. 

They both will be released on 1 March 2023, and will retail for US$69.99 / AU$99.99 / £59.99 and can be pre-ordered now. 

Hit the link in bio to read my full review!

I think both helmets are excellent additions to the LEGO Star Wars Helmet Collection. Both Phase 1 and Phase 2 Clone Trooper helmets translate incredibly well, and there are some masterful sculpting techniques and great use of negative space to get the look just right. 

I have to say that I much prefer Commander Cody out of the two, because of the 212th's orange markings, and cool features like the visor and fin. Captain Rex, while having some cutting-edge building techniques have some really poorly colour-match stickers which distract from the otherwise great build. 

Will you be planning on picking any of these up?

Special thanks to @lego for sending these early review sets over!
