Synthesized Verdict

"Wicket the Ewok is a delightful figure for devoted fans of the character, with reviewers agreeing the face sculpt and finished display presence are excellent, but the $129.99 retail price against 1,010 pieces is a real friction point that earns it Mixed Reviews and limits its audience to those with strong Star Wars nostalgia."

Wicket the Ewok (75430) is a highly charming display figure that earns strong affection from Star Wars fans while sitting in Mixed Reviews territory at a BrickScore of 68.6, primarily due to its $129.99 price and the weakness in value-for-money (aspect score 35.2) and playability (34.7). Owner ratings across 138 reviews average 4.46 out of 5, with LEGO's would-recommend signal at 86%, showing genuine fan satisfaction once the purchase is made. The central tension is that reviewers love the finished product but repeatedly question whether 1,010 pieces at $129.99 ($0.129 per piece) justifies the asking price.

What reviewers are saying

"No way. Lego sent me the new Wicked the Ewok set. Check him out. He's so cute."

Bricksie

"Welcome back to another review of an overpriced Lego Star Wars summer 2025 set."

MandRproductions

"Yeah, $100, I suppose, for this one. Maybe 90. 130. Oh my goodness. I Lego and their pricing with this summerwave is just out of hand."

Solid Brix Studios

"I'm a huge fan of the brick-built Wicket that does an excellent job capturing the cute and furry Ewok design in brick form, which is no easy feat"

"I would definitely pass on Wicket the Ewok"

Ecosystem

Grogu — Similar character build approach with removable panels; however, Grogu uses more Technic elements while Wicket uses more modified bricks with forward-facing studs.

Other Star Wars buildable characters — Wicket is described as 'a great addition to the character lineup' and fits well with other buildable Star Wars figures displayed together.

75389 (Grogu with Pram) — Grogu is $100 (same time release) with more pieces. Wicket at $130 is 30% more expensive with no clear justification for the price difference.

75379 (R2-D2) — R2-D2 is $100 (same time release) with more pieces. Wicket at $130 is 30% more expensive with no clear justification for the price difference.

Value drivers

MandRproductions: Wicket minifigure with staff accessory is included but not positioned as a value driver; minifigure is slightly different from 2022 version but not necessarily more desirable.

Exclusivity

Bricksie: Standard retail release, available August 1st 2025 as part of August wave.

MandRproductions: Wide retail release (summer 2025 Star Wars set).

Resale

MandRproductions: Unclear due to pricing concerns; reviewer expects lower sales at $130 retail.

Solid Brix Studios: Will likely see significant discounts during sales (especially Costco). Expects strong markdown activity similar to Grogu with Pram, which has been sitting for months even at $20 under MSRP.
