The MiG-21 is a supersonic jet fighter and interceptor aircraft, designed by the Mikoyan-Gurevich Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. Its nicknames include: "balalaika", because its planform resembles the stringed musical instrument of the same name; "Ołówek", Polish for "pencil", due to the shape of its fuselage, and "Én Bạc", meaning "silver swallow", in Vietnamese.
It is the most-produced supersonic jet aircraft in aviation history, and the most-produced combat aircraft since the Korean War. Approximately 60 countries on four continents have flown the MiG-21, and it still serves many nations six decades after its maiden flight.
The MiG-21 jet fighter was a continuation of Soviet jet fighters, starting with the subsonic MiG-15 and MiG-17, and the supersonic MiG-19. A number of experimental Mach 2 Soviet designs were based on nose intakes with either swept-back wings, such as the Sukhoi Su-7, or tailed deltas, of which the MiG-21 would be the most successful. The MiG-21 was the first successful Soviet aircraft combining fighter and interceptor characteristics in a single aircraft.
Nguyen Van Coc, the guy from my last mega, flew one of these.

The main draw is the collectathon aspect, especially in the newer games where open-world exploration is the primary focus. They're relaxing and goofy fun (and always have splitscreen co-op), and generally more polished than you'd expect games like them to be. Though your mileage may vary based on the licensed franchise any given LEGO game is adapting.
For Lego Star Wars specifically, nostalgia is a huge factor too. The first LSW game was both a surprise smash-hit, and the blueprint for everything that came after. I was a kid when it came out and I loved how the gameplay was structured, and rewarded exploration, and also I could be Darth Maul! And hang out in an alien diner! So the new game definitely has a lot of pull because of that, while doing something totally new with the franchise.
It's a pretty good children's game. Don't expect much of a challenge from it, also they change movie scenes with some lego jokes.
I loved the shit out of the very first one (lego Star Wars 1) and they really are a great time
I played a few (the OG Star Wars and Batman) back on like X360, they were pretty fun.
