Custom LEGO Star Wars Rancor avoids breaking the bank

You don’t need to spend over £100 to pick up a LEGO Star Wars Rancor figure for palace models with a new highly-detailed custom creation.

The original moulded LEGO Star Wars Rancor figure fetches high prices on the aftermarket after appearing in just 2013’s 75005 Rancor Pit with listings at an average of £112.85 new or £80.51 used. Thankfully, there’s an affordable yet impressive solution and all you need is three copies of 76967 Little Eatie: T. rex for £19.99 / $24.99 / €24.99 each.

For £59.97 / $74.97 / €74.97 (or less when the new Jurassic World set is on sale) and $7 for the instructions, you can put together Tomasso‘s custom Rancor figure, which makes great use of the brown elements in the set to build a suitably rugged and massive figure.

For those on a budget, the build is a great alternative to the older LEGO Rancor figure and proves that the creature can be depicted using bricks while keeping the most important aspects of the creature – its size and shape.

Compared to the moulded figure secondhand, you’ll be spending on average half as much on three copies of 76967 Little Eatie: T. rex, leaving you with plenty of budget to depict the Rancor pit itself using another official set. With no second LEGO Rancor despite 2022 rumours, this is one path worth considering for LEGO Star Wars that don’t mind a brick-built Rancor.

76967 Little Eatie: T. rex is available now for £19.99 / $24.99 / €24.99 and you can read our review of the Jurassic Park build by clicking here.
