About this deal

Here’s a look on the sides, where the Red and Yellow V symbols are prominently displayed – which I believe are killcounts, in the style of fighter pilots. Estimated ship date subject to change, items may ship earlier or later than anticipated without notice. The orange visor is probably the least accurate, as the dip in the middle feels too deep, but I learned from the designers that this was a particularly challenging part of the model, as they needed to use trans-orange elements, that were as clear as possible, and many iterations led to this one.

BATTLE OF YAVIN OR BATTLE OF HOTH?: Flip the switch inside the helmet to choose between a simulation of piloting an X-Wing at the Battle of Yavin or a Snowspeeder at the Battle of Hoth Construction of this helmet is obviously quite different to previous designs, since the ubiquitous studded box only fills the upper section of the helmet. Nevertheless, the prominent ridge which runs around the helmet requires remarkable complexity, as multiple segments with 1x4 curved slopes on top combine to form a beautiful curve! Step-by-step guide - Are you a newcomer to LEGO construction sets? No problem. There are clear, illustrated instructions in the box, so you can build with the confidence of a Jedi MasterINSPIRED BY THE STAR WARS SAGA: Whether piloting an X-wing or a Snowspeeder, Luke Skywalker wore his iconic helmet into battle against the Empire Regardless of where your allegiance lies, whether it be with the Imperial Empire or the Rebel Alliance, there's a Lego Star Wars helmet for everyone. There's now a huge range of models available and they're usually aimed at adult or older builders and typically come in at a lower price point, which makes them ideal for display. The details are spot-on, and despite some minor niggles like the fidgety chin strap, this is by far one of my favourite LEGO Star Wars helmets yet, as it looks great displayed on its own, or with the other helmets in the collection.

Luke Skywalker's helmet from the Battle of Yavin features vibrant colours and therefore differs from previous Helmet Collection models, so complements those helmets on display. The scale also remains consistent between them as this creation reaches 19cm in height, matching other sets. I think this scale works nicely for display, without occupying too much space. Now that we have Rebel helmets, I can’t wait to see more of these – maybe we’ll get those aerodynamic Rebel Helmets soon! But the goggles look just as bad because there’s no gap for Luke’s nose! There should be a 1-2 stud transition section between the two lobes of the goggles. LIGHT AND SOUND FX BATTLE SIMULATION: 3 internal speakers create a surround sound experience and synchronized LED lights inside the visor simulate the blasts of enemy vehiclesIn this section, you'll find a round-up of all Lego Star Wars helmets that have been discontinued. Lego sets don't last forever, and these have all been retired into the archives. Do note that there is supposedly a third helmet on the way as well – a Dark Trooper helmet, which wasn’t part of this reveal, so keep your eyes out for that one soon. 75343 Dark Trooper Helmet – 693 pieces I’d love to know what you think of the new Luke Skywalker Red Five Helmet, and what other Rebel helmets you’d like to see I think these 2 helmets look great, and if you own and liked the previous range of helmets, these will be great additions to the LEGO Star Wars Helmet collection.

The open face nature of the helmet is brand new territory for LEGO, and they’ve done a decent job here with it, and it doesn’t feel as empty like the LEGO Batman cowls. I don’t know of a better solution, but the Rebel logos look pretty bad with a white stud cutting through the narrow part. Printing white on red would have fixed this, but then you’d have a red ring around the logos because they can’t print on the edge of radar dishes. Luke Skywalker’s Red Five helmet is a superb addition to the LEGO Star Wars Helmet collection, and one that would look incredible displayed alongside the other helmets, or next to a LEGO X-Wing. Ideally the UCS Red Five X-Wing Starfighter.As expected, the Mandalorian helmet borrows heavily on the Boba Fett Helmet, and employs a mix of light grey and silvery elements to create a sense of shininess.
