“Congratulations! You are being rescued… please do not resist.”
I’m not a huge Lego Star Wars girlie these days since a lot of the sets are either overpriced prequel-era stuff or something like this; a large, buildable display piece that tries to treat itself seriously like it’s not a **Lego building toy.** I picked this set up for one reason: it’s one of the closest things Lego produces these days that is akin to Bionicle/Hero Factory/Constraction sets. While the legs and feet literally have zero articulation, there is a good amount of Technic stuff used to create a large character out of Lego pieces. The arms are pretty much all Technic and the torso has a CCBS-style ball clicked into what Bionicle used to use for hands to create a torso swivel. The eyes are literally Techinic pins.
Most importantly, this is not the first buildable K-2SO set Lego has made. That honor goes to set 75120, who is a constraction K-2SO set made in 2016. Using that set, we can compare modern “constraction” with the true CCBS sets of old. I have one on the way in the mail, and will make another post comparing/combining the sets; stay tuned!
