REVIEW: 75361 Spider Tank

[Pchan1983]

Here is my review on 75361 Spider Tank:

THE GOOD:

• Cool looking tank, love the bouncy movements.
• A more show accurate Bo-Katan minifigure.
• Better looking Dark saber.

THE NOT SO GOOD:

• EXPENSIVE!
• Not widely available since it's a retailer exclusive. (Also hampers your chance to get a discount depending on your region)

From the hit show The Mandalorian, this set caught my eyes when it first announced.  Always appreciate something new from Star Wars when its not a remake or upgrade of previously released set.  This set does not disappoint, the spider tank looks great and require a bit of patience in building.  The legs can be troublesome to build but just enough to keep the fun.  I'm also surprised on the bouncy movements/suspension like action on the legs.  There is also a space for you to lie a minifigure inside the tank.  I wish LEGO includes a printed or sticker piece to represent the pilot the tank.  The minifigures selection is great too, having Mando, Grogu and Bo-Katan in one single is very generous to be honest.  And this new Bo-Katan is good with a much more accurate hair piece.  However, this set is not cheap (even thought still better priced than the Andor set release earlier this year).  With a retail price of $95 NZD, just feel too much.  And because this is a retailer exclusive sets, it's very difficult to find a place selling this with a 20% off discount.  If you are a fan of the Mandalorian show, then this is a must have and I will totally recommend this but if you just a casual fan of LEGO, then you might want to wait for a better discount.  Anyway, I'm very satisfied with the end result =)
