In "The Mandalorian", the real tragedy of "Chapter 14: The Tragedy" was the destruction of Mando's ship, the Razor Crest. Last we saw, the Razor Crest was relaxing on the mountainside, minding its own business, not a care in the world... when suddenly a burst of turbolaser from the sky blew it into over 6,000 pieces!

Gone but never forgotten, now you can reassemble these 6,187 pieces in Lego's new Ultimate Collector Series Razor Crest set. It will only cost you $599.99. That's a small price to pay for a spaceship, isn't it?

Don't pretend you haven't thought about building a full-size replica of the Razor Crest in your backyard. With Lego's Razor Crest, alas, you won't be able to climb inside and escape Earth's impending destruction. (Haven't heard of it? Never mind). However, you'll be able to play with the detachable escape pod, as it comes with one, "with room inside for a minifigure," according to the official product description.

But that's not all! The Razor Crest set also comes with a Grogu minifigure in a floating pram (steering wheel not included), Mando, the Mythrol, and Kuiil minifigures (pretend you remember who the latter two are without checking Wookiepedia), and "a buildable Blurrg LEGO figure to fit in the Razor Crest's cargo bay." Plus, it has removable motors, a minifigure-sized carbon freezing chamber, and other things too nifty to list without melting your brain.

I have a sister - my Luke's Leia, so to speak - who works at Legoland in Florida, but personally, my inner "Star Wars" consumer is more fond of Black Series 6-inch figures. Although it pains me to admit it, I fell off the wagon last week and picked up a few more at the Hot Toys flagship store in Tokyo, where you could also see a lifelike Boba Fett sitting on his Jabba throne. the palace of the Hutt.

Now I know what you're thinking: we're all going to perish. The toys won't go back in time, but the great thing about Lego sets like this Razor Crest is that they "are made for people like you who love DIY fun...
