For me, I like them all. But, the Trench Run seems less economical to me because there are no minifigs. I'm a minifig junkie and am salivating over the new droid prints. That said, I will probably wait for a discount/GWP for all of them. With awareness that this is a different idea for LEGO Star Wars, you can begin to appreciate the different ways that this LEGO set has been created, and understand that this is the only way this sort of detail for such a scene could otherwise be offered in an official LEGO Star Wars release. With acceptance of 75330 Dagobah Jedi Training Diorama’s differences, its strengths really begin to show themselves.

Premium quality – Since 1958, LEGO® components have met rigorous industry standards to ensure they are consistent, compatible and connect securely The Death Star Trench Run Diorama captures the tension and drama of an unforgettable moment in time in Star Wars: A New Hope. Three TIE Fighters, including Darth Vader’s TIE Advanced, pursue Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing. Frozen-in-time laser blasts from a TIE Fighter and Darth Vader’s TIE Fighter take aim at Skywalker. The mostly gray trench features many industrial details. A name plaque with a Darth Vader quotation attaches to the front of the display. 1. LEGO Star Wars Dagobah Jedi Training Diorama 75330 Or, you could do what Ole intended all those years ago … and build your own version. Much more fun!" Printed quotations also accompany each model and the scenes on Dagobah certainly provide ample material to draw upon. I think Yoda's famous comment regarding conviction when using the Force was most appropriate though. The neighbouring LEGO Star Wars branding adorns a 2x4 tile, also present across the burgeoning diorama series. The plaque in front features the LEGO Star Wars logo alongside the quote that defines the scene, “Do or do not. There is no try.” The logo and quote truly tie the overall set together as a wonderful display piece.

Overall

With particular consideration to what has now been confirmed as 75330 Dagobah Jedi Training Diorama, anticipation also pegged these sets as likely being on the larger size and even with the sets now revealed, a 1,000-piece Dagobah-based display piece could and ordinarily would have you dreaming of something larger than what 75330 Dagobah Jedi Training Dioramaactually is, particularly when 2018’s 75208 Yoda’s Hut came in at a similar size for the little green guy’s home and was made with just 229 pieces.

My one real gripe about this set is that Luke’s hand should be on the ground, not 6” above it. The nipple tile should be two plates below the surface, and both parts should blend in with the ground. It’s important to consider the creative direction that 75330 Dagobah Jedi Training Diorama represents – this is LEGO building for an older audience not interested in play, looking for detail, depth and authenticity to their LEGO creations so as to place them proudly on display, to gather only the type of dust a more sophisticated, older LEGO fan can generate. Of course, one thing that jumps out from among the numbered bags is a bag that includes nothing but 1×1 transparent green pieces!Dagobah Jedi Training Diorama captures the hut in the most accurate way we have seen so far in LEGO form, from the clear and obvious features such as the tiny little door at the front, the small windows and the unusual spike at the top, through to some of its more subtle properties, such as the very particular contours that shape the dome-like structure and the various vines and branches from the tree it is built into. Another window is situated on the other side, nestling among tree roots. The distinct shape is cleverly recreated using tan wheel arch pieces, which have not appeared in this colour before. Furthermore, those tree roots are integrated beautifully, generally following the contours of the hut, but leaving some gaps to give the impression of natural growth.

During the build, I felt like I was attaching a lot of random arches and curved slopes to build up Yoda’s hut and the trees. However, upon completion, they fit together rather beautifully. The buildable LEGO Star Wars Helmet series also features an 18+ recommendation for similar reasons as the dioramas. How many LEGO Star Wars Diorama set are there? This building technique has previously appeared in 70620 NINJAGO City and its successors, featuring differing plates beneath the water. The effect here is relatively subtle because these trans-green elements are darker than the trans-light blue water from the NINJAGO City series. Assembling the 1x1 tiles is inherently repetitive, but I think the result warrants that complexity. Luke Skywalker's training on Dagobah is probably my favourite sequence from throughout the Star Wars saga and 75330 Dagobah Jedi Training presents the scene beautifully. The swampy environment looks marvellous and features exceptional detail, while Yoda's hut achieves superb accuracy when compared with the source material, as anticipated.

Summary

A great gift idea for fans of the classic Star Wars trilogy, the set includes clear building instructions so even LEGO newcomers can enjoy the fun, creative experience. It began a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. Now the saga continues in your own home with a collection of top-quality LEGO Star Wars sets for adults, including other buildable dioramas depicting memorable scenes. However, there is an obvious issue with R2-D2 here, as the dome printing is woefully askew. Similar problems have occurred consistently since 1999, so their repetition is frustrating. The issue is never universal though and will hopefully be relatively isolated on this occasion, since this design otherwise looks superb. Luke's accessories are kept outside the hut, including a portable generator and the lamp that Yoda memorably attempts to steal! This technology stands out to a surprising degree, as grey parts are otherwise restricted to the sunken X-wing. The plants surrounding the swamp appear excellent as well, featuring muted colours.
