LEGO Star Wars set 75016, Homing Spider Droid, depicts a spider-like combat droid from the Star Wars universe. Released in 2013, it belongs to the Star Wars theme and contains 295 pieces for a Separatist vehicle with associated characters.
The model focuses on the Homing Spider Droid, a mechanical combat unit associated with Separatist forces in the Star Wars licence. Within LEGO Star Wars, this subject supports ground battle displays and troop arrangements, adding a droid vehicle rather than another starship or character-only selection.
The build uses 295 pieces and emphasizes a recognizable mechanical profile, with a central body and elements suggesting the droid’s long legs.
It suits collectors who want a Separatist unit for a LEGO Star Wars display, as well as builders looking for a compact battle setup with opposing sides included.
