About this deal

The canopy is the only wholly new element, but there are a few other elements of note. First of all, this set is a goldmine for nougat elements, with 302 spread across 16 elements. Some of them are new in nougat to this set, such as the mudguards. To answer that question, most UCS sets based on ships that are "starfighter" size or smaller fall into that category: the UCS X-Wing, Y-wing, A-Wing, B-Wing, Snowspeeder, TIE Fighter, TIE Interceptor, etc. When dealing with ships that small, minifigure scale wouldn't really be big enough to allow for an "Ultimate Collector Series" level of detail. Most, but not by a huge margin. The Death Star, SSD, ISD (x2), and Tantive IV are smaller scale. The Falcon (x2), Tyderium, Slave I, AT-AT, are about the same scale. Naboo Starfighter and sandcrawler are at or smaller than minifig scale. Then you’ve got X-Wing (x2), Y-Wing (x2), A-Wing, B-Wing, Snowspeeder (x2), TIE Fighter, Vader’s TIE, TIE Interceptor, AT-ST, Jedi Starfighter, and Republic Gunship that are all clearly larger. That’s 5:7:14, so just over half, if you eliminate character builds and playsets from the discussion. As the sides get built up, a few bits of detail are added with nougat wheel arches turned sideways to make the landspeeder’s scalloped edges.

I'm not complaining. I am just curious how many other SW sets have a vehicle larger than minifigure scale"The Landspeeder technical data display plate and stand to create a hover effect make this Star Wars set perfect for home or office décor While the flex tubes may be the most novel technique in the set, with just the landspeeder’s engines left, the rest of the build is far from boring. Each of the three engines is unique and they’re delightfully complex with studs in all directions and ample use of half-stud offsets and clip connections. The first engine to build is the left, and it’s the one that makes this Luke’s landspeeder rather than a generic X-34, as it’s missing most of its exterior paneling. Use clever building techniques to construct the recognisable features plus a custom-made LEGO element captures the windscreen’s shape

The display stand is even simpler than that of many other UCS sets, as the landspeeder is displayed sitting flat rather than tilted at an angle like 75275 A-wing Starfighter. The stand also includes the info placard and a few exposed studs for the two minifigures of Luke and C-3PO. One small thing I found interesting is that the instructions call for the minifigures to be assembled as the very last thing; I can’t recall the last time the minifigures weren’t the first steps of their respective bags, but I liked the change up and having a place to immediately put the figs. We’ll look at the figures in more detail below. This LEGO Star Wars collectible set for adults makes a wonderful gift for yourself, another Star Wars connoisseur or any advanced LEGO builder. It comes with step-by-step instructions so you can zone in and enjoy the complex build. Yes, you can point at the official survey, in which people voted for the Republic Gunship ahead of Nebulon Frigate & Tie Bomber, which does show that things are changing, but:

Unfortunately, there’s a little repetition when it comes to building the three engines of the Lego Star Wars Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder. You’ll build the broken engine first, complete with its exposed wiring and mechanics. Next is the in-tact engine to sit on the other side of the ship, and finally the central engine that sits on top. Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder is an iconic vehicle from the Star Wars universe, and as such it deserves to be treated with love and respect. Lego has done a great job over the years replicating it in various sizes, but none come close to the accuracy and attention-to-detail of ths UCS Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder.

I want Prequel trilogy UCS sets so badly, but am happy for Lego to churn out these OT sets until the market is ready for them.

Build and display the first-ever LEGO Star Wars UCS version of Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder from Star Wars: A New Hope The landspeeder has two small holes on the underside where the stand slots in, but the rest of the vehicle’s underside is unremarkable. If I had one wish for this model it’s that it were a little closer to the film prop, as opposed to the in-universe vehicle. The real prop had a regular vehicle chassis with wheels that were crudely blurred out (via petroleum jelly on the film) to make it “float”. I would have loved for this landspeeder to include flip-down wheels so that it could be pushed around “floating” on the ground. But I also understand why LEGO didn’t go this route, as UCS models have always tried to be as accurate to the in-universe designs as possible. Still, it seems a relatively easy modification to make, so undoubtedly some fans will design a great conversion. Be transported to the desert planet of Tatooine as you build the first-ever LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series version of Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder (75341). Use new building techniques and custom-made LEGO elements to recreate this iconic vehicle in intricate detail.
