LEGO 75311 Star Wars TM Imperial Armoured Marauder

Product Information

We are also much happier with this line-up of minifigures than any that might have included, say, an Imperial pilot of some sort to drive the Marauder. There are plenty of those sitting around in LEGO Star Wars collections already, and you can’t invade planets with an army of those in quite the same way you can with legions of Stormtroopers. That’s a lot of words to focus on just half a door, but it’s a great example of how careful a LEGO build 75311 Imperial Armored Marauder is, and indeed just how fascinating it is too. It’s all dark grey and light grey so perhaps needs that extra level of engagement, but for the size of the model and the price point it comes in at, it’s also rather unexpected. Imperial Armored Marauder is based on a Trexler 906 Armored Marauder that appeared in a memorable sequence in the second season of The Mandalorian, in which Greef Karga, Cara Dune and the unnamed Mythrol (the blue guy) are being pursued by a group of Scout Troopers on speeder bikes on Nevarro. This is the vehicle that the trio commandeer in their escape and, at the budget that has been granted to this LEGO set, it’s a surprisingly interesting and intricate build.

Imperial Armored Marauder is best compared with fellow LEGO Star Wars summer 2021 release 75312 Boba Fett’s Starship, when it comes to value and the perception of value. Coming in at 478 pieces, the model that you build appears smaller than initial expectations may have been placed. Meanwhile, the Artillery Stormtrooper is certainly one way that LEGO Star Wars will get us to accept the most recent design of the Stormtrooper. We still prefer the version of helmet that ran from 2014 to 2018, but releasing colourful variants of the latest, dual-moulded design does warm us to its otherwise brutish proportions. It’s a really fun addition to the LEGO Imperial army many of us continue to amass, with some welcome colour and a different role for the ranks, too. Any complaints, then? Perhaps one compromise is that the Stormtroopers can’t stand up when inside, but that is offset by a fair amount of seating space within – you could realistically find room for five Stormtroopers in there… — Characters — More manuals of Lego Frequently Asked Questions about Lego set 75311 Star Wars Imperial armoured marauderIts price may cause some to initially hesitate, but the parts-to-price ratio represents more than fair value, and more important than that is the feeling that no single LEGO piece has been wasted in the design of this set. It’s compact but spacious inside, and it is intricate but with so many features cleverly included. There’s a great deal to catch the eye on 75311 Imperial Armored Marauder, and so much to fiddle with, open up, store within and all-round interact with. You can buy it for display purposes and almost definitely won’t be able to put it down, and you can buy multiples of it for your Stormtrooper army and still want to build the model each time. There are two minifigure headliners to 75311 Imperial Armored Marauder, and they are Greef Karga and the Artillery Stormtrooper. Beginning with Greef, we have a new, second design of the character from The Mandalorian that reflects his aged appearance in Season 2, complete with grey beard and new outfit. There’s wonderful detail across his entire design, most importantly in that face print that captures his stern expression quite expertly.

There is one niggle, though – the vehicle from this set appears in a sequence in the second season of The Mandalorian where Greef Karga, Cara Dune and the unnamed Mythrol (again, the blue guy) are being pursued by a group of Scout Troopers on speeder bikes on Nevarro. Meanwhile, the Artillery Stormtrooper and the other Stormtroopers just as memorably appear in a completely separate sequence in a different episode, when they face off against the Mandalorian, Fennec Shand and Boba Fett on Tython.It’s a minor complaint for what 75311 Imperial Armored Marauder can offer us as a happy compromise – we have already had a Scout Trooper included in a previous Mandalorian LEGO Star Wars set, and there’s little chance the budget for the impressive 75312 Boba Fett’s Starship could have survived including this particular Stormtrooper trio.
