Lego unveils epic Imperial Light Cruiser and more new Star Wars Mandalorian sets coming in August

Three new Lego Star Wars spaceships were unveiled Saturday (June 26) at the first-ever Lego Con, held online and livestreamed from the toy giant's hometown of Billund, Denmark.

The newly released "Star Wars" sets include an epic hero set in the Imperial Light Cruiser, an Imperial Armored Marauder and legendary bounty hunter Boba Fett's Starship, all tied to the Disney Plus hit series "The Mandalorian."

The Imperial Armored Marauder retails for $39.99 USD and has 478 pieces. You'll get four minifigures in this set: Greef Karga with a blaster pistol, two Stormtroopers with blasters and a new Artillery Stormtrooper with a mortar gun and backpack. The Marauder has stud shooters, blaster cannons and a minifigure cockpit, among other items. 

"'The Mandalorian' fans can play out action-packed battles between Greef Karga and Stormtroopers with this Lego brick model of the Imperial Armored Marauder from Season 2," Lego said.

Another space theme came to light at Lego Con during a guest appearance of former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino, who flew two space shuttle missions to repair the Hubble Space Telescope and was the first person to tweet from space. Massimino discussed life as an astronaut, NASA's forthcoming Artemis moon program that aims to put astronauts on the surface later in the decade, and Lego's ongoing efforts to recreate real-life spacecraft as Lego sets.
