Lego adds Luke's iconic Landspeeder to line of Star Wars vehicle sets
The 1,890-piece set has an exclusive C-3PO minifigure alongside a lightsaber-wielding Luke Skywalker.
What better way to celebrate May 4 than building Lego’s latest Star Wars set based on the X-34 Landspeeder.
The rugged vehicle may not be as iconic as the Millennium Falcon but Luke Skywalker still got around just fine with it on Tatooine’s rough desert terrain.
As usual, Lego has impressed us with its attention to detail and stayed very faithful to the original design. They nailed the curve of the Landspeeder’s nose and managed to fit a lot of important accents into the cockpit.
Lego set designer César Carvalhosa Soares said in a press release that they included some scratches to imitate all the wear-and-tear from Luke’s travels.
Even with all the details they managed to squeeze in, the Landspeeder set is only going to be 1,890 pieces. It’s more in line with the A-Wing set that’s also from Lego’s Ultimate Collector Series.
Both of those sets pale in comparison to the 6,785-piece Lego AT-AT set Lego released last year.
