About this deal

Regarding your later comment, Ahsoka’s previous appearance was in 75283. This is 75310. Last year’s SW convention exclusives were numbered 75294 and 77904. One fell in the normal range, like this, and the other was an outlier. Both still had convention badging, which this does not. It’s because Maul uses a double-bladed lightsaber that has a really long hilt. Using the standard hilt looks a bit silly because there’s clearly only enough room for a one-handed grip. The MK handle is slightly longer and doesn’t have the decorative details, meaning it could potentially accommodate two hands...but it’s still way too short. My solution (which has been well-received by everyone I suggested it to) is a little more involved, and a lot more accurate. Switch to 3L bars, because you should be using those for all lightsaber blades (otherwise, they’re as long as a minifig is tall, which just looks wrong). Then combine a standard lightsaber hilt with a matching telescope (this does, obviously, limit your color choices, but both are available in light-bley). When assembled, this will be about the same length as the official version, but you can actually pose Maul with both hands on the hilt. With a regular stud connection in the middle, it’s a bit fragile compared to normal lightsabers, so they’d never use this in an official set, but it looks so much more accurate than anything else I’ve seen. It’s best not to take too many things personally, even if they’re meant that way (unless it’s clearly a ToS violation, in which case just report it). Correct, and by the number assigned to this set, people are assuming this too is a set that would have been a Comic Con exclusive. The question is whether LEGO will produce enough of these that it will be a while before the price goes through the roof.

Duel on Mandalore takes direction from previous recent LEGO Star Wars duel sets at this same price point that have also had two characters face off in a classic location, such as 75236 Duel on Starkiller Base and 75269 Duel on Mustafar. As with those sets, primary focus is on the minifigures included, and both Ahsoka and Maul do not disappoint in 75310. Duel on Mandalore includes a brand new and exclusive Darth Maul minifigure and an expertly-designed Ahsoka Tano minifigure previously only available in a set priced twice as much. Combined with a couple of fun and story-relevant builds, there’s little to criticise the price of this set – at least in the context of other LEGO Star Wars products. — Pictures — Features a buildable throne with a secret drawer containing a blaster pistol, a decorative surround including a pop-out window element, plus a Mandalorian vault with space for a LEGO® minifigure. LEGO has developed products featuring various lightsaber duels, including the dangerous battle between Ahsoka Tano and Maul. The impressive 75310 Duel on Mandalore has therefore kindled remarkable anticipation, providing both famous combatants from the encounter. Unfortunately, this window should actually display a floral design. While that would have been welcome, I understand LEGO's desire to capture the distinctive angular decoration associated with Mandalore. Furthermore, the smashing window function is excellent and corresponds with the animated series, when Maul breaks through this window.Includes 2 LEGO® minifigures: Ahsoka Tano with 2 lightsabers and Darth Maul with a double-bladed lightsaber to play out battles. Ahsoka Tano and Maul are undoubtedly the highlights of 75310 Duel on Mandalore and these minifigures are excellent. Maul's intricately detailed legs are especially impressive and Ahsoka compares favourably with her animated counterpart too, although an adjusted montral element would have enhanced this popular minifigure even further.

Awesome for solo or group play, this building toy makes the best birthday present, holiday gift or fun treat for creative kids aged 7 and up who are into Star Wars: The Clone Wars.Maul is perfectly designed in almost every detail and represents a more-than-credible new edition for anyone’s LEGO Star Wars collection, even if it already includes more than a few previous versions of the former Sith. The only area to improve would be a better colour-match between the red printing on his face and chest – one is slightly brighter than the other. Pitting Darth Maul (as he is referred to on the box art, though by Clone Wars Season 7 he was known merely as Maul) against Ahsoka Tano, 75310 Duel on Mandalore represents the culmination of two of the Clone Wars television series’ leading characters’ respective stories, as they come face to face on Mandalore. Played out in the latter episodes of Season 7 of the show (released on Disney+ in mid-2020), it is a moment of brilliant story, character and action, and the perfect subject for a duel-themed LEGO set. Numerous depictions of Maul have been released since 1999 and another unique example is available here, based upon the final season of The Clone Wars. This minifigure features great detail, especially across the torso and mechanical legs. I love the metallic silver designs which demonstrate outstanding accuracy when compared with the onscreen character.
