LEGO Star Wars Magazine Issue 135: Jango Fett Tin Edition
Tear open the foil pack on LEGO Star Wars Magazine Issue 135 and something's different right away: instead of the usual single gift rattling around inside, there are two. A Jango Fett minifigure slides out first, then a small collectors' tin shaped to hold him — the kind of double-gift moment that turns a routine newsagent grab into one worth pausing over.

Flipping Past the Foil Pack: What's Inside Issue 135
Once the gift is out, the issue itself follows the format that's kept Immediate Media's LEGO Star Wars Magazine a newsagent staple for well over a decade. This issue's comic story leans into "Mandalorian mayhem," pitting Din Djarin against a squad of stormtroopers in the same exaggerated, LEGO-styled art that's defined the series since it launched. Beyond the comic, there's a knowledge quiz, brick-themed puzzle pages, a free poster, and the usual competitions offering readers a shot at winning additional LEGO sets.
The Exclusive Gift: A Jango Fett Minifigure and Collectors' Tin
The headline gift is a Jango Fett minifigure built around the same mold that appeared in 2025's 75433 Jango Fett's Starship, dressed in his signature Mandalorian armor with jetpack, twin blaster pistols, and wrist-mounted weapons. What sets Issue 135 apart from a typical single-figure release is the tin: rather than shipping loose in the foil pack alongside the magazine, the minifigure comes packaged in a themed collectors' tin, shaped either like Fett's helmet or a trading card depending on which print run you land.
That combination — a recognizable bounty hunter plus a dedicated display tin — is a step up from most issues in the run, which typically gift a standalone minifigure and nothing more.
Why Collectors Keep Circling Back to This One
Jango Fett's pull for collectors goes beyond his own screen time. As the genetic template for the Republic's clone army and the man who raised Boba Fett, he sits at the center of two of Star Wars' most collected minifigure categories at once — clone troopers and Mandalorians. Pairing that character with a dedicated tin, rather than the bare foil-pack treatment most issues get, is exactly the kind of format quirk that keeps LEGO Star Wars Magazine Issue 135 coming up in collector threads well after its initial print run has thinned out on shelves.
Double-gifted issues like this one also tend to disappear from UK newsagents faster than standard releases, simply because they're chasing two kinds of buyers: figure collectors after Jango himself, and tin collectors rounding out a display shelf of magazine packaging.
A Buyer's Tip for Tracking Down Issue 135
If you're hunting this one down after the fact, check listings carefully before buying — the two tin variants (helmet-shaped and trading-card-shaped) are often listed under the same issue number, and which one arrives can come down to print run rather than choice. Bundling Issue 135 with neighboring issues from the same year, rather than buying it as a standalone back issue, is usually the more reliable way to secure a complete tin alongside the minifigure.
A UK Retail Exclusive Worth Tracking
Immediate Media's LEGO Star Wars Magazine is a UK-only retail exclusive, sold through newsagents and supermarkets rather than through official LEGO channels internationally. That distribution model is exactly why an issue like this becomes a genuine collector's item outside the UK, and why fans elsewhere track down specific tin variants and issue numbers so closely. Our LEGO Star Wars Magazine collector's guide breaks down the format if you're newer to the series.
