21309 NASA Apollo Saturn V is often discussed among the most impressive modern LEGO sets and offers stunning detail. 10341 NASA Artemis Space Launch System looks similarly realistic in official images, containing the mobile launcher alongside the SLS rocket.
Dividing attention between the Artemis vehicle and its launch tower creates an opportunity for some interesting functions too, including accurate umbilicals, as well as the rocket's multiple sections. Furthermore, the model provides exceptional display value, given the complexity of the launch tower and the vibrancy of the SLS.

Welcome to "What's Up With That...?", the article series where I, ex-LEGO designer James and host of new YouTube channel TUBESIDE, will explore some of the frequently asked questions from AFOLs about the mysteries of the design decisions of The LEGO Group.
Is it now? Where there are so many great IPs and sets catered to every age group? Or back in the 70s/80s? When things were simpler, bricks were bricks and there was more space for you to use your imagination?
Well you're all wrong, the peak LEGO era was 1997-2004. This was the era when there was so much innovation happening. The excitement of seeing LEGO Star Wars for the first time, and then around 2002 when all those new bow (curved slopes) elements in cool new colours (dark red, dark blue, teal, etc), there were also things like Bionicle, taking storytelling and Technic into a whole new direction. Not to mention the start of mechs and robots entering the portfolio.
Yes, THIS was when LEGO peaked. Everything before was basic and simplistic, everything after was too detailed and too reliant on 3rd party IPs.
Wait, what's that you're asking? When was I the target age for LEGO toys? Well, my estimation would be around 1997-2004. Why do you ask...?

Various shops, including Smyths and LEGO brand stores, have today held in-store building events featuring small Star Wars models.
Thanks to Robert S and Robert S (yes, two of them) for sending us the instructions from which you can build them from your own pieces.
The models are:
You'll find them under the 'images' tab, not the 'instructions' one, just to confuse you...

Since the finale of Star Wars: The Clone Wars in 2020, there has been continuous demand for a LEGO model of the blue-accented 501st Y-wing Starfighter featured in the final episode. 75391 Captain Rex Y-wing Microfighter is probably not what people had in mind!
Nevertheless, I am pleased to see the vehicle in LEGO form and its pilot is highly desirable, as this Captain Rex minifigure has only appeared once before, in 75367 Venator-class Republic Attack Cruiser. An affordable chance to acquire this popular character is appealing.

Certain troopers are particularly suited to Battle Packs and the Imperial Commandos introduced in The Mandalorian season three are a fantastic example. These commandos feature interesting armour and they are deployed in great numbers, so they seem ideal for army building.
75373 Ambush on Mandalore Battle Pack includes two of these commandos, alongside a pair of unique Mandalorians. The minifigures are thus quite appealing, but I am less satisfied with the model included.

The conclusion of The Mandalorian season three saw Moff Gideon's return, residing beneath the surface of Mandalore and heavily armoured to match his base of operations. 75386 Paz Vizsla and Moff Gideon Battle therefore introduces an exclusive Moff Gideon minifigure!
Paz Vizsla has also received an update since the character debuted in 75319 The Armourer's Mandalorian Forge and faces two new Imperial Praetorian Guards. On that basis, the minifigure selection seems exceptional and I think the model looks good too, reflecting the location from the television series.
