The verdict

What got me the first time I clicked this together was the sheer cheek of it, you're basically building Wyldstyle's motorbike-turned-fighter and Sweet Mayhem's pink star cruiser and then locking them nose to nose into a single mash-up ship.

It plays exactly like the movie moment it recreates, and the bomb bay that drops three brick-built Star figures out the back had me grinning like a kid. This is a set for people who loved the chaotic joy of The LEGO Movie 2, not people hunting for a serious display spaceship. If that's you, it delivers real fun for not a lot of money.

Best for: LEGO Movie 2 fans and kids who want a two-in-one spaceship with a genuine play gimmick

The full review

What it is

The Wyld-Mayhem Star Fighter is one of those sets that only makes sense if you saw the film, and once you did, it clicks immediately. You build Wyldstyle's motorbike-fighter and Sweet Mayhem's star cruiser as separate halves, then dock them together into one chunky double-cockpit ship. It's a smart way to translate a specific movie beat, the uneasy alliance between the two heroines, into a physical model, and it means you effectively get two small builds for the price of one set.

The catch

I won't pretend this is a technical showcase. At 405 pieces for around fifty dollars it's priced fairly, but a good chunk of the shape comes from flat panels, curved slopes and a sticker sheet rather than clever part usage, so a few builders found the assembly went by quicker than they expected. The bomb-drop function at the back, which releases three little brick-built Star figures, is the standout play feature and it's satisfying to trigger, but it's really the one mechanical trick the set has up its sleeve.

Who it's for

Buy this one for the minifigures and the movie tie-in more than for architectural ambition. Emmet and Rex Dangervest (complete with his own swappable hair piece) plus Wyldstyle and the mini-doll Sweet Mayhem make a fun little cast, and if you or your kid loved The LEGO Movie 2 this is a cheerful, playable way to relive it. If you're chasing a serious display spaceship or maximum parts-per-dollar, look elsewhere in the range.

The parts story

What the build is actually like, and the pieces worth knowing about.

Building it feels like two quick, punchy sessions rather than one long one. You start with Wyldstyle's angular motorbike-fighter half, then move to Sweet Mayhem's pink and white star cruiser, and only at the end do the two sections lock together into the full ship. It's a clever structural choice for a kids' set because it keeps momentum high and gives you a payoff twice instead of once.

The best part of the box is honestly the minifig tray. Rex Dangervest comes with his own printed torso and a dedicated hair piece separate from Emmet's, Wyldstyle gets her usual sharp face print, and Sweet Mayhem's mini-doll figure with her star-shaped hairpiece is a nice change of pace from standard minifig heads. The three small brick-built Star figures that drop from the rear hatch aren't fancy but they're a charming little touch that makes the play feature feel complete rather than half-finished.

Fun facts

01The set was only available for about a year, released in fall 2019 and retired around September 2020.
02It includes three toy minifigures (Emmet, Rex and Wyldstyle) plus Sweet Mayhem as a mini-doll figure, alongside three small brick-built Star characters.
03The ship is really two separate vehicles, Wyldstyle's fighter and Sweet Mayhem's star cruiser, designed to be built apart and then combined, mirroring the uneasy team-up from The LEGO Movie 2.
04Original retail price was $49.99, and since retirement secondhand prices have held up reasonably well for a movie tie-in set.
