Pre-orders have begun for the 1,073 piece set which will be available globally just in time for the hit show's second season when it returns to the streaming service on Oct. 30.
“When I received the challenge to create a LEGO brick-built version of the Child, I knew that I had to get it just right” said LEGO Star Wars Design Manager Michael Lee Stockwell in a press release. “The goal was to capture the charm, and above all, the cuteness of the character, so we worked meticulously, choosing and placing each and every brick. We even included authentic details like the gearstick knob – a favourite toy of the Child as seen in the series.”

The newest Baby Yoda merchandise comes following the strong success of the $60 Child Animatronic Plush toy by Hasbro, which sold out just one day after its pre-order went live in February, and Build-A-Bear's Baby Yoda plush toy back in January.
Build-A-Bear Workshop CEO and president Sharon John discusses the "tremendous demand" for Build-A-Bear's new Baby Yoda plush toy in spite of the coronavirus impacting consumer spending.
The construction set is just one of the many products that will be unveiled weekly as part of Disney and Lucasfilm's "Mando Mondays" promotion.
