If you’re a lego fan, you’ll love this. It’s a brilliant addition to my wife’s ever growing collectio

Another fantastic collectors item by Lego. A good fun build and not too time consuming. Good clear instructions on how to build and looks great too.

The helmet collection from Lego has really grown into something impressive, not sure how much further they can take it with Star Wars but glad we got a clone version.

Some interesting building techniques, especially how you connect the visor and I found it fun and relaxing, great escapism.

Is it super accurate to the source material… No, is it close enough? Yes.

This was a challenging and very satisfying build that took about three hours of patience and concentration. It offered a good amount of complexities and challenge to be considered difficult and the level of challenge meant that it kept me occupied for hours of building, which is what I love. So for me this was fun and satisfying and once complete fulfilling.
The instructions were clear and logical.
The set came with all required peices along with numerous spares.
The overall quality is as always flawless.
I think it looks excellent and is a delight to display.

This is a great choice for adult Star Wars fans and collectors. The set comes with over 400 LEGO pieces and detailed instructions, allowing you to construct a replica of Clone Commander Cody’s helmet from the Star Wars franchise.

The helmet is made with high-quality LEGO pieces that are both sturdy and visually stunning. The intricate details and design of the helmet make it an impressive display piece for any Star Wars collection or fan cave.

My son is a huge Lego fan although not the biggest fan of Star Wars, so for him this was all about the build. The kit say 18yrs+ and we don’t think that that’s necessarily on the basis of skill needed because he’s built far more difficult sets in the Technic range.
More likely it’s based on some of the pieces being quite teeny, and that as a collectible it’s more likely to appeal to adults in the first place. Lego has a huge adult fan base now; adults who loved Lego as kids and now as adults thrive on sets like these that are produced and marketed more for them than the kids.
In terms of the design, we felt that it could have actually been designed to be a bit more complex and to look more like the real character’s helmet but that’s just our personal opinion.
The stand is a great feature for display purposes and once built, it all feels quite robust and would certainly look great on display with other helmets in the series.

Unlike some of the child-friendly builds, I found the design and implementation behind this build to create a figure which has a lot more stability and can withstand being placed on a sideboard with a steady stream of little hands inspecting it by palpation.
The build is challenging enough to keep me on my toes which I found quite engaging and thus, rewarding. It definitely has enough detail to make it one of the most admirable Lego helmets to have.
Anyone from pre-teen enthusiasts to adults would find this a great thing to build without any complications.

One thing to note is that it’s not a life-size structure (the box implied 1:1), unless you imagine clone commanders to be pint-sized!

5 stars

I doubt there are many Star Wars fans who would want this to be the first or only model on their shelves, before any of the other more iconic Star Wars models. But as an extra display piece in an expanding shelf display, it is a worthy addition- undeniably Star Wars in its aesthetic, and different enough to attract attention.

It’s marked as an 18+ set, but assembly isn’t really that difficult. It requires patience and attention to detail, and it’s a little bit fiddly because most of the pieces are generally small, plus there’s not a great deal of colour variety involved across the surfaces. But I wouldn’t say that was necessarily the same thing as being challenging, and my kids were able to help me with this without being out of their depth, and the build process was enjoyable but did feel a little bit routine.

Unfortunately, there’s just something about the design of the end result that I don’t quite love. The combination of helmet curves with sharper straight lines at irregular angles translates into Lego with an ‘OK’ rather than a ‘great’. Without meaning to disrespect the Lego designer behind it, who is undoubtedly far more skilled than me, this finished model feels like somebody took a CG 3D model of the helmet, fed it through one of the automated tools that can turn STL models into Lego building instructions, and more or less just accepted the results. Some of the decisions about which outer surfaces will have studs and which will be smooth feel a little bit arbitrary. It also feels like the jowly long chin section visible in the character has been cheated flat just a little bit in order to make it easier to build. As such it manages to feel like a clever fan model, rather than an official model, and if it weren’t for the presentation stand, this could have been a fan MOC.

The resulting build is fairly heavy, and also fairly durable. The stand is wide enough that it should withstand the attention of those people for whom looking at your Lego collection seems to involve their hands more than their eyes.

At well over fifty quid, it continues to feel like Disney and Lego are collectively milking the Star Wars obsession of middle-aged people with a disposable income and unwavering fandom. But it does stand proud as a set, and it was satisfying to complete it. If I had set 75349 as well, I’d have no doubt that they would make a fantastic looking pair.

This Commander Cody helmet from Lego is an impressive item, comprising of 766 pieces. The box is bigger than I expected, with fantastic branding and it would make an amazing and substantial looking gift for any Lego/Star Wars fan.

The last couple of days have been miserable weather-wise; snow/rain has cancelled my partner’s outdoor activities and he has been really fed up. His eyes lit up when I handed this over, and he has sat in complete silence, totally absorbed in the build, which does look fantastic.

This has an 18 rating, and it is quite a complicated build, although you do get decent printed instructions, or ones on the app, if you prefer. That said, I would say that an experienced Lego builder who was under the age of 18 could easily tackle this, and even a beginner, if they can follow instructions and have lots of patience. The bonuses for me are the stand and nameplate, which really do elevate this into the realms of home dcor; all we have to do now is choose where it’s going to live.

At the time of writing this review, the cost is 56.60 on offer from 59.99, and I think it’s worth it, especially as it’s so different.

I was surprised looking at the product pictures before ordering that this kit contained so many pieces, i was also surprised at the actual size of the completed item as it is much larger than i expected once assembled, i wasn’t however surprised at the usual oversized Lego branded box that it arrived in.

I love the Lego packaging, by utilising oversized packaging they constantly give you a sense of satisfaction when you purchase a product that you have somehow received even better value for money, this kit is no exception and the packaging looks fantastic.

The kit contains 766 pieces, with a good mix of small and larger pieces, but some of which are relatively tiny, hence the age rating, it comes with the obligatory Lego instructional packaging but also contains a Lego inspired buildable display stand.

It’s a neat item and a great talking point as a one off purchase, however if you’re a collector of such things it’s much more than that, it’s a starting point to a massive universe of additional helmets or other star wars models that the company provides.
