MicroFighters are small, squashed down versions of Star Wars ships and vehicles, each with an oversized cockpit for a single pilot minifigure and usually a pair of flick missiles or stud shooters. They started in 2014 with the Millennium Falcon, an X-wing, a TIE Interceptor and a Star Destroyer, and the early waves were sold as numbered series. The ships come from every part of the saga, the prequels and the original films, the sequel trilogy, Rogue One, Rebels and The Mandalorian, and the Falcon has been made more than once. From 2018 some boxes paired two small builds against each other, such as an AT-AT and a tauntaun.
2021 LEGO Sets
In 2021, LEGO explored digital-physical play with LEGO VIDIYO, a collaboration with Universal Music Group that let users create augmented-reality music videos using minifigures and collectible BeatBits. Although short-lived, the experiment reflected LEGO’s continued pursuit of hybrid play experiences. The LEGO Art series expanded with more display sets inspired by pop culture and design icons, strengthening LEGO’s appeal among adult builders. Established themes such as Star Wars, City, and Technic maintained momentum, while LEGO unveiled prototype bricks made from recycled materials—an early step toward fully sustainable production.
