LEGO is returning to the glory days, by releasing the new Darth Maul Sith Infiltrator 75383.
May 19, 2024
Darth Maul is the best Star Wars character ever written. No sorry there is no argument. You have no high ground on this guy. He has seen one of the most unexpected story arcs in the entire Star Wars universe. I won't lie, when his initial return from the dead occured I wasn't sold. But watching the clone wars, Final Season and all Rebels I am convinced that he is the best character in Star Wars. It is possible that he wouldn't be the best is Disney hadn't ruined the Skywalker arc with the sequel trilogy.
No matter how you look at it Darth Maul is returning to LEGO in two diferent sets. In May 2024 he returns in the 40676 The Phantom Menace Brickheadz and the 75383 Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator. The sith Infiltrator does an omage to the second star wars set ever made 7101 Lightsaber Duel. The set included a small speeder, Darth Maul and Qui-Gon Jin much like the new set releasing in May 2024. The new set includes a Sith Infiltrator, an Annakin Skywalker and Saw Gerrera minifig.
This is the third exclusive minifig LEGO released this year. Saw Gerrera joins Darth Malek and ARC trooper Fives. 75383 Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator will retail for $69.99 with a total of 640 pieces. This is a fairly steep price point but it feels like most LEGO is overpriced now a days. The exclusive minfig helps justify the high price point but for many people it may still not be worth it.
What do you think about this set? Is Darth Maul actually the best Character in Star Wars? And is a Darth Maul set with an exclusive Saw Gerrera actually worth the $70 price tag?
