The set will be available in September for $199.99.
But the set isn’t the only thing exciting about this new release. This will be the first time the LEGO BOOST coding technology will be used in a LEGO licensing product. Builders can build, code and play with the droids.
This will allow them to create their own stories with more than 40 interactive missions on the app.
One of the goals for LEGO with this set is to help young children explore STEM skills through the coding technology. LEGO already challenges the creative aspects of minds, but now its taking it a step further melding the tangible with the technological.
Longtime Star Wars fans will be thrilled to create these droids, but the fun doesn’t end once they’re made.
This seems like an amazing step for LEGO to take, building on its heritage while staying relevant in the current age. The LEGO BOOST app is available on Android, iOS and Fire devices.
