The LEGO® Group revealed the first summer 2021 Star Wars set earlier today. The Bad Batch Attack Shuttle is set for release on August 1, 2021. Unlike other upcoming releases, this August date is global. However, the set is already available for pre-sale at LEGO.com. For those unfamiliar with the source material, the Bad Batch is a new animated Star Wars series streaming on Disney+. It follows the exploits of Clone Force 99, also known as the Bad Batch. They are a bunch of clone troopers featuring genetic defects. The motley crew saw their debut in the final season of the Clone Wars animated series.
LEGO.com describes the set as follows:
Kids will love role-playing Clone Force 99 missions with this LEGO® brick-built version of The Bad Batch Attack Shuttle (75314) from Star Wars: The Bad Batch. It features large wings that move up and down for landing and flight modes, 2 spring-loaded shooters and an opening dual LEGO minifigure cockpit and rear cabin with space for 2 LEGO minifigures and weapons storage. Pull up the central dorsal fin to access the interior for easy play.
The set has 5 new-for-August-2021 LEGO minifigures of Bad Batch clones Tech, Echo, Hunter, Wrecker and Crosshair, a Gonk Droid LEGO figure, plus cool weapons and 2 buildable speeders to inspire imaginative play. Step-by-step instructions are included to ease the construction process.
