LEGO Star Wars Mos Eisley Cantina (75290) Complete Reveal!

Wednesday, September 9th, 2020 by Brickfinder

The Mos Eisley Cantina set has seen its fair share of leaks over the past couple of weeks from LEGO Korea posting our very first look on their Facebook page to crafty AFOLs trawling Fan Media sites for cached images.

Either way I’m still super excited to officially announce LEGO’s scummiest and villainous watering hole, the LEGO Star Wars Mos Eisley Cantina (75290)!

 

Yes, the infamous Mos Eisley Cantina has it’s fair share of iterations over the years but nothing like this outing with this much details and easter eggs packed in. There is now a the break-away feature that allows you to interact with the interior.

It clocks in a 3,187 pcs that will allow you to construct the Cantina in all it’s scum and villainy along with two landspeeders (Ubrikkian 9000 Z001 and the Sorosuub V-35) and a Dewback animal figure.

One of the major highlights of this set are the minifigures included. There will be a whopping twenty-one minifigures to decorate your diorama with and a handful of them are making their first appearances.

The list are as follows (apologies in advance as I might not be 100% correct on the exact names):

• Momaw Nadon
• Kabe
• Dr. Evazan
• Greedo
• Kardue’sai’Malloc
• Ponda Baba
• Wuher
• Modal Nodes Cantina Band Bith x3
• R2-D2
• C-3PO
• Han Solo
• Chewbacca
• Luke Skywalker
• Obi-wan Kenobi
• Desert Trooper x2
• Garindan
• Jawa
• Saurin

I’m sure that if you had the previous versions of Mos Eisley Cantina that they would be able to add to the diorama to expand it to Mos Eisley spaceport.

The LEGO Star Wars Mos Eisley Cantina (75290) will have a recommended retail price of SGD599.90 / £319.99 / €349.99 / USD349.99 / BRL3299.99 / MXN7499.0 / AUD529.99 / NZD599.99.

The impressive building kit gives adult LEGO fans the chance to relax and enjoy a mindful building experience as they reconnect with their passion for the original trilogy. Intrepid builders can even open up the set’s removable roof to admire its intricate details and act out their favourite Star Wars: A New Hope scenes, using iconic character mini-figures including Luke Skywalker^TM, Han Solo^TM, C-3PO^TM. Additionally, the set features eight character minifigures that have been introduced in LEGO form for the first time, including Ponda Baba^TM, Dr. Evazan^TM, Garindan^TM, and more.

As they embark on their journey to bring Mos Eisley’s quintessential taverna to life, films lovers and Star Wars devotees will be thrilled to discover the set’s special features, such as the attachable buildings, two Landspeeders – one of which has never been built in LEGO before – and a dewback LEGO figure.

Once built, the 3,187-piece LEGO® Star Wars Mos Eisley Cantina™ construction set makes for an extraordinary display piece, standing at over 7.5” (19cm) high, 20.5” (52cm) wide and 23” (58cm) deep when opened.

Part of the Master Builder series, the new Star Wars building kit is the latest example of how the LEGO Group aims to inspire builders to build, rebuild and get excited by the process of creation. Speaking about the creative process behind the new building kit, set designer Cesar Soares said:

“The first time I watched the Cantina scene in Star Wars: A New Hope, I was just 12 years old. I remember thinking, ‘this is where the adventure starts!’ Years later, when I then became a LEGO® Star Wars ™ designer in 2016, this was the first set I built. With this design, we’ve added external buildings like the Jawa shop, refined the details, and chosen an impressive 21 minifigure characters, including all-new alien figures. I love that all Star Wars characters have cool backstories, no matter how briefly they appear, it wasn’t easy to decide which characters to include in the set, but we hope fans will love the entire model and its line-up of heroes and villains.”

There is a huge variety of LEGO® Star Wars™ building sets available to delight fans including the LEGO Star Wars Luke’s Landspeeder helping you reimagine your favourite Star Wars A New Hope scenes, or  create their own epic stories or just build and display the awesome models, such as the TIE Fighter Pilot HELMET™ and A-Wing Starfighter™. This set is perfect for those looking for a new building challenge – making it ideal for ages 18+ to enjoy solo or with friends and family.

The LEGO® Star Wars Mos Eisley Cantina™ construction set will be available for LEGO VIP members from 16^th September and then globally from 1^st October, directly via LEGO.com and LEGO Stores.
