Despite being blown up on screen, the Razor Crest has somehow returned in The Mandalorian and Grogu.
Regardless of the in-universe logistics, the Razor Crest is still a beloved ship that several fans may have missed out on when the last playset released 6 years ago.
75447 The Razor Crest is now back with a slightly more yellow paint scheme and a few new exciting minifigures – let’s jump into the driver’s seat and see the improvements!
Special thanks to the LEGO Group for sending this set over for review.

Unboxing
The box is pretty standard, showing off the new and yellower Razor Crest flying around in space before landing on some sort of forest planet.
It has the lift-off lid style, and inside are eight numbered paper bags.
The instructions come packaged inside this paper folder for protection…
Inside is one large instruction manual, and a moderately large sticker sheet. Thankfully, most were relatively easy to apply.
Build Process
The build process wastes no time getting into the main build, starting out with the structure of the main body in bags 1 and 2.
Bag 3 builds the wing structure sub-assembly, which bag 4 completes and adds to the main model.
Bag 5 adds paneling to the front bodywork, while bag 6 adds the remainder of the body panels and the cockpit canopy.
Bags 7 and 8 add each engine, completing the model. Overall, it was a relatively straightforward build that wasn’t overly challenging, but some sections like the cockpit came together nicely.
Minifigures
The first two minifigures we’ll take a look at are Din Djarin and Colonel Ward. Din Djarin is the standard Mandalorian minifigure we’ve gotten for a while, but still looks excellent with great printed details across his torso, legs, arms, and helmet.
Colonel Ward also appears in the smaller 75460 New Republic X-wing Starfighter, but this variant sports her officer uniform with a nice printed torso.
Both minifigures have head prints underneath – Colonel Ward’s one is double-sided, although the expressions aren’t too dissimilar. It would be nice for Din Djarin to come with a hairpiece.
Perhaps the most anticipated minifigure in this set is the return of Zeb Orrelios, who hasn’t had a minifigure since 2014. This new version looks fantastic, sporting both dual-moulded arms and legs which is rarer than a blue moon in the Star Wars theme. The printed details look excellent too, elevating an already standout minifigure.
The Imperial Remnant Stormtrooper has the standard Stormtrooper prints, but comes with a plain black plastic pauldron which is a nice touch.
The stormtrooper also has a generic printed head underneath his dual-moulded helmet which isn’t particularly common.
The final minifigure is Grogu, who sports the new body mould and a nice printed Mandalorian chest armour. Definitely an upgrade, but also appears in cheaper sets.
The Zeb minifigure is exceptional, and LEGO knew what they were doing putting him in the set – it elevates a relatively strong minifigure lineup and will definitely attract fans.
Completed Model
One small side-build is included, which is an E-Web blaster for the Imperial Remnant Stormtrooper. It has 360º rotation and can hinge forward and backward which provides good range of motion, but it’s fairly wobbly and doesn’t really look like the real thing.
Now, onto the main event. The Razor Crest measures around 32cm (12.5″) long, with an unmistakable profile. The bright yellow highlights help to distinguish it from the general “light-grey blobs” that generally defines ships in the Star Wars theme.
The front view looks good with its distinctive twin-engine design, and the colour blocking of the yellow bits across the prints, stickers, and bricks comes together nicely.
The proportions are probably better than the 2020 predecessor on this version, although it’s still obviously scaled down to be playset sized.
Around the back, it’s relatively well finished off with small gaps between the angled panels. The rear ramp is pretty studded but doesn’t look too out of place across the whole model, and the back of the engines look nice too with glowing orange bits.
The model sits on three landing gear struts which is a nice touch, though these cannot be retracted for flight. The low angle reveals what is perhaps the only problematic bit on the exterior – exposed Technic pins and holes underneath the engines, which is a strange choice as a few more pieces/tiles could have easily covered it up. Right now, it looks slightly unfinished.
The engines themselves are nicely detailed, using a variety of circular pieces including corner rounded windows to achieve mechanical-like texture. They each have an accompanying stud shooter for extra firepower, which feels rather superfluous but adds a little playability.
The cockpit is still one of the more intriguing parts of the Razor Crest, having to be mounted at an angle with a relatively unusual shape. The printed canopy looks excellent and the colour matching of the yellow print is decent.
It’s attached via two clips so can be lifted off conveniently for interior access (but isn’t so wobbly as to fall off without external interference).
The interior is really bare bones though, with two seats, a couple of jumper plates, and a printed 1×2 tile for controls. Headroom is also restricted because of the cockpit sub-assembly’s size.
Still, you can cram in two minifigures and one Grogu at the back, though it certainly looks like a tight squeeze.
The model looks nice with all the figures inside though, as the transparent canopy allows you a clear view into the cockpit. It’s flanked by a pair of large brick-built cannons, which cannot move but look nice and chunky.
The rest of the bodywork has some nice detail too, although the escape pod is no longer a feature like it was on the 2020 version.
The Razor Crest has these four-stud wide panels that fold down to form boarding ramps. A minifigure can be posed in the doorway, but unfortunately you can’t attach them to the ramp itself as it’s all anti-studs.
The remainder of the panels on the bottom half can fold down for interior access. There’s some minimal Technic structure which provides stability, but the main issue is that the interior is totally devoid of detail! Aside from a pair of clips (which can store the pistols for the pilots in the cockpit), the space inside is very restricted and does not have any interior detail at all which is hugely disappointing – even though it’s cramp, there was definitely room to include some interactive details.
The last bit of detail is underneath the cockpit section – more opening panels reveal some mechanical bits snuck into the available space.
Still, the space here is hugely restrictive and offers far less value than the interior on the 2020 Razor Crest playset model – there’s barely even room to fit the Grogu figure in this space when the panels are opened!
Final Thoughts
Overall, 75447 The Razor Crest is a relatively mixed bag. The Razor Crest looks excellent on the exterior and it’s great to get it at a playset scale, accompanied by some excellent minifigures.
However, the significant reduction in interior detail – and the total lack thereof for the lower cargo hold – is pretty unacceptable, especially for a ~900 piece set costing US$150. I suspect many fans will want to get this as the flagship model from the upcoming The Mandalorian and Grogu film, but at this price point I would definitely hold off until a sale or discount is available before purchasing.
Build
The model honestly looks good enough to be a proper 4/5, but I’m docking a point because the interior detail is notably underwhelming.
Minifigures
A somewhat small minifigure selection, but the Zeb and Grogu figures are excellent.
Real Value
Although the final model is moderately sized, it’s still pretty small for $150 USD especially as it only has around 900 pieces.
Innovation
The cockpit shaping is pretty nifty, but relatively standard build process otherwise.
Keepability
The Razor Crest is pretty iconic, so despite this set’s limitations it’s probably still high on many collectors’ lists.
