About this deal
LEGO® components meet stringent industry standards to ensure a simple, secure connection every time – it’s been that way since 1958. Duel on Mandalore includes a brand new and exclusive Darth Maul minifigure and an expertly-designed Ahsoka Tano minifigure previously only available in a set priced twice as much. Combined with a couple of fun and story-relevant builds, there’s little to criticise the price of this set – at least in the context of other LEGO Star Wars products. — Pictures — Duel on Mandalore takes direction from previous recent LEGO Star Wars duel sets at this same price point that have also had two characters face off in a classic location, such as 75236 Duel on Starkiller Base and 75269 Duel on Mustafar. As with those sets, primary focus is on the minifigures included, and both Ahsoka and Maul do not disappoint in 75310.
I have no idea where you got the impression that this was designed to be a convention exclusive. It most certainly is not and drawing comparisons with the Throne of Ultron is ridiculous. Unfortunately, this window should actually display a floral design. While that would have been welcome, I understand LEGO's desire to capture the distinctive angular decoration associated with Mandalore. Furthermore, the smashing window function is excellent and corresponds with the animated series, when Maul breaks through this window. Yes, it is the same Ahsoka design that appeared in last year’s 75283 Armored Assualt Tank (AAT), so it does relegate that set’s relevance, as now this fantastically-designed and long-awaited version of the female former Jedi apprentice is available in a set at half the price. Her minifigure design does not disappoint, capturing the right level of detail and colour to her outfit as seen in The Clone Wars Season 7. There are LEGO® Star Wars™ sets to thrill fans of all ages, whether they want to recreate memorable scenes, role-play their own stories or just build and display the authentic buildable models. Maybe LEGO has decided as part of their new Star Wars 2021 design philosophy to stop the increasing trend towards trying to copy everything 1:1. Because they have already produced smaller, cheaper, less accurate and proportional X-Wing, TIE fighter, and Imperial Shuttle this year to be more affordable, maybe that applies to avoiding too many new molds to further keep prices realistically affordable. Which could be why they have also decided Ahsoka using Shaak-Ti's montrals was close enough because they are both Togruta and they don't need a third Togruta mold.Unless you guys have inside knowledge of LEGO’s production and distribution plans, and even if you do, there is no need to act like know-it-alls."
Did I miss something or is this set based on the clone wars? This is confusing since these 2 characters fought in the Rebels, not in the clone wars show. The actual fight happened in the clone wars was maul and oppress vs sidious. If so this set is incorrect. And Ahsoka here is clearly the one from the rebels." LEGO has developed products featuring various lightsaber duels, including the dangerous battle between Ahsoka Tano and Maul. The impressive 75310 Duel on Mandalore has therefore kindled remarkable anticipation, providing both famous combatants from the encounter. Awesome for solo or group play, this building toy makes the best birthday present, holiday gift or fun treat for creative kids aged 7 and up who are into Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Minifigures
Correct, and by the number assigned to this set, people are assuming this too is a set that would have been a Comic Con exclusive. The question is whether LEGO will produce enough of these that it will be a while before the price goes through the roof. Try buying an authentic Ahsoka for less. The rarity of the character will help drive sales of this, plus Maul is another popular but underserved character. People have enough Harry Potter minifigs that some might have been put to use leveling tables by now. Maul is perfectly designed in almost every detail and represents a more-than-credible new edition for anyone’s LEGO Star Wars collection, even if it already includes more than a few previous versions of the former Sith. The only area to improve would be a better colour-match between the red printing on his face and chest – one is slightly brighter than the other. Furthermore, the metallic straps around Maul's waist look superb, even integrating tiny yellow highlights which match the source material. The head includes lovely decoration too, returning from the Crimson Dawn minifigure produced during 2020. An angry expression may have been appropriate here, although Maul's intricate tattoos look magnificent, as normal.
