Ah the N-1 Starfighter. Though, it will never live up to the awesome Republican Gunner ship, the Razor Crest, Mando's new ship in Lego form is as awesome as ever.
Sleek and agile, the main body of the N-1 is very sturdy and well built. With only a few stickers, this set became one of my favorites. The wings, I am sorry to say, arn't as well built as the body of the ship. The two turbo engiens at the tip of the wings do NOT stay on well at all. They are only being help up by four studs on either side. One wrong move and you lose your engiens!
The back 'tail' of the ship also comes off very easily, if touched with force.
The hidden cargo hold in the body of the ship is ok. Though, it was a smart design, when taken off, it pulls the cockpit window, off with it, which I do not like.
I must admit, Peil Monto's figure is PERFECT for her charater. Wild curly hair, tool belt and all.
While it might sound like I don't have much good things to say about this set, it is one of my favorites and I hope it will be yours as well.

My son really likes all the mini figures in this set as he’s a huge fan of the Mandalorian show. He especially likes the new Peli Motto mini figure and her droid because it’s cute. He wishes there was a villain in this set as it would make play more fun. In building and play there’s an annoying engine piece at the back bottom which is held on by 4 studs. It falls off very easily and sometimes he wouldn’t notice and just find it lying on a table. Also, if you have the spring fired missile in it, when you try and fix it, your finger will often land on the engine, pushing it down to fire it. My son already lost one spring loaded missile because of this before he’d finished the build.

This is a model of the Mandalorian’s latest ship the N1 Starfighter, replacing the Mandalorian’s Razor Crest, piloted by the Mandalorian and featured in, you’ve guessed it, The Book of Boba Fett. Whilst this might be confusing to those unfamiliar with Disney Plus and perhaps buying for a relative or friend, essentially they went down a Marvel inspired crossover of different series, but rest assured this ship will no doubt take centre stage in the upcoming Mandalorian season 3.

The first thing to note is that the N1 Starfighter is big, larger then it’s 412 bricks would lead you to believe. I mean we’re not talking Death Star big but at 42cm in length this ship eclipses any other comparable ship in the Lego Star Wars range. Great for value and playability but maybe a little out of scale for a fighter, being only 2cm smaller then the current Millennium Falcon. But in the age of inflation perhaps we shouldn’t complain about getting more for less. And yet I have, it’s very confusing.

Build time is roughly 2-3 hours, is simple enough for youngsters still mastering their brick knowledge and the free Lego build app is always recommended. Features include a spring loaded shooter, a small cargo compartment and two cockpits, one for the title character and one for his small companion. Size aside this is a very accurate depiction of the on-screen ship and detail is up their with the best of the Lego Star Wars range.

The kit includes four minifigures, a good amount for the cost and brick count: The Mandalorian who comes with a jet pack and darksaber for the first time, Grogu, Peli Motto the loud but comically sound mechanic, and one of her worker droids. A well rounded set of characters for playability and for those looking to add to their Mandalorian collection.

All things considered this is a great set. Sure ‘it’s no Razor Crest’ but exceeded all expectations in detail, size, and minifigures and fans of the series and impatiently awaiting The Mandalorian season 3 will love it.

I purchased this for myself being a huge fan of the latest Star Wars series, I already have the Razor Crest & Boba Fetts Starship so had to have the N1, I purchased this from the Lego store in Milton Keynes(UK), service there was fantastic.
The build was relatively simple using the as normal excellent build instructions, the only thing I would say is that it is a little confusing having 2 bags labelled no1 with parts from the initial build stages in both bags, once I realised this it was ok.
I like to build gradually over several days so that I can see the model develop, so I would say I took about 4 days to build it for about 45 minutes at each stage.
Once complete I was surprised how large it was considering the fairly low part count, it is as long as the latest version of the Millenium falcon is wide.
I wanted to display the model in a way that you could see all the detail on the top as it does not have a dedicated display stand, I have built one from the limited amount of Technic Lego I have (this is only a pro type) I have more Tecnic coming to refine the design. I tipped the model along its length & also across its width which means it appears to be flying towards you & all the top detail is visible.
I would highly recommend this model to any Star Wars fan.
