LEGO Star Wars January 2026 sets target cheaper prices – but do they stick the landing?

LEGO Star Wars is targeting cheaper price tags with three smaller sets this January – and a lack of must-have features are unlikely to hold them back.

While most LEGO Star Wars fans’ eyes will be on potentially much more desirable January 2026 sets such as 75440 AT-AT and 75441 Venator-Class Attack Cruiser, there are also three smaller and more affordable models arriving on that date that are likely to find an audience too.

Of the January 2026 LEGO Star Wars wave, 75436 The Mandalorian & Grogu’s Speeder Bike is by far the smallest offering at just 58 pieces. That also makes it the most affordable of next year’s initial line-up and it’s a model that’s likely to have plenty of appeal amongst the galactic duo’s broad fanbase.

As an entry point into the theme, 75436 The Mandalorian & Grogu’s Speeder Bike should make for an ideal pocket money purchase, including as it does a basic vehicle build, the same Mandalorian minifigure from 75410 Mando and Grogu’s N-1 Starfighter (but with a dark grey cloak replacing the character’s jetpack) and a standard Grogu figure.

While the set has no real play features to speak of, the infant can at least be placed in the attached satchel when Din Djarin is piloting the speeder. Annoyingly, the design of the vehicle means that the Mandalorian can’t actually reach and hold on to the handlebars and the bike does tend to tip forward when there are no minifigures in it, but those minor niggles are unlikely to stop the set being a steady seller come 2026.

Aimed at younger fans of the franchise, 75443 Grogu’s Homestead presents a simple stylised version of the cute character, along with a small catapult and Sorgan frog, a fireplace with cooking pot, and a selection of themed accessories.

The LEGO Star Wars set acts as both a play and display model, with Grogu’s large, printed face giving the model plenty of visual appeal and the build’s many functions successfully matching the whimsical personality of the youngling.

In fact, when it comes to sheer interactivity, 75443 Grogu’s Homestead definitely earns its asking price. Younger fans will be able to launch the frog into the air, stir the tentacles in the pot, roast a marshmallow and munch on a pair of blue and white macarons, one of which can fit inside the character’s removable belly section (fortunately the digestion process stops there).

This is undoubtedly one for younger fans first and foremost – it’s a 4+ set for a reason – so the rest of us can safely look elsewhere.

The LEGO Star Wars theme continues its ongoing mission to seemingly turn every character from a brick-built galaxy far, far away into a hulking mech. This time around we have 75448 Clone Shock Trooper Mech, a 151-piece set that follows the standard formula of numerous previous models, proving that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

The striking red and white armour of the build’s included Clone Shock Trooper minifigure is surprisingly perfectly suited to the oversized look of the fully-posable LEGO Star Wars creation, which comes with an impressive and massive stud-shooting blaster rifle.

75448 Clone Shock Trooper Mech’s main build features multiple ball and socket joints for a selection of potential play and display options, although its limbs can’t be bent at the elbows or knees thanks to the continued use of the angled pieces we’ve seen across countless other mechs.

Flipping open the mech’s chest section allows the Clone Shock Trooper minifigure to fit snugly inside, although pressing too firmly on the front of the build can cause the red and white element to pop completely off.

The LEGO Star Wars set also allows builders to attach the minifigure’s blaster rifle on to the back of the mech, which is handy for storage and transportation. Fans looking to expand their collection of such sets even further should definitely consider 75448 Clone Shock Trooper Mech a worthy addition indeed and it’s one that lines up well with similar past releases.

While none of the LEGO Star Wars January 2026 wave of sets reviewed above should be considered must-have purchases, it’s worth mentioning the broad scope of fans that they will appeal to, many of whom won’t have huge reserves of disposable income.

When it comes to affordability and downright fun, these three upcoming LEGO Star Wars models all represent great value for money and are likely to prove a hit with their respective target audiences.
