The new UCS X-Wing Starfighter Lego Star Wars set is sure to be a hot topic of discussion this weekend, on display at Star Wars Celebration Europe, and with two Return of the Jedi d🌊ioramas to boot, Original Trilogy brick builders will be frothing at the mouth like 🍌a wampa with a tauntaun drumstick. 

2023 marks the 40th anniversary of Return of the Jedi, so it’s not surprising that Lego has chosen to release a trio of 18+ sets that will appeal to its more mature, OG-loving fanbase. And while every brick-building fanatic longs for one of Billund’s biggest and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Lego sets – like the recently released 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Rivendell (10316) – we’ve seen an upturn of smaller 18+ sets in recent years, and the Star Wars dioramas have proven parꦺtic🌺ularly popular. 

If you're looking to add to your 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Lego Star Wars sets collection, the Endor Speeder Chase Diorama and Emperor's Throne Room Diorama start at around $80 / £70, while the big UCS X-Wing Starfighter will set you back / . Each set will be available on May 1, but the UCS X-Wing will only be available for Lego VIP members via the official Lego website and Lego stores, until the gen𓃲eral release on May 4th.

X-Wing Starfighter

It’s been a decade since Lego last released a UCS X-Wing and if you missed out on the Red Five X-Wing Starfighter (10240) back in 2013, then perhaps you’d cross the Death Star trench to get your hands on this latest offering. The X-Wing is arguably the most iconic Star Wars spaceship next to the Millenium Falcon, so if you have any interest in Star Wa🦩rs at all and are looking for a grown-up set to display then this might be it. 

And while, just shy of 2,000 pieces, it pales in comparison to the eye-watering, 7541-piece UCS incarnation of the Falcon, it’s still a serious kit. In fact, it’s Lego’s largest X-Wing to date, measuring over half-a-meter long. Two Minifigures is what we’ve come to expect from a UCS set at this price point and you won’t be at all surprised that Luke and R2-D2 made the cut, with the former b🐓oasting new arm and leg printing.

Check out the full listing , while the hyperdrive powers up for its May 4th gener⛦al launch.

Emperor's Throne Room Diorama

The slightly larger and more expensive of the two dioramas celebrating the Return of the Jedi’s 40th anniversary is the rather f🧜etching-looking Emperor's Throne Room Diorama. It depicts the climax of the Original Trilogy as Vader delivers Luke to the Emperor and they duke it out on the se🍸cond Death Star. 

Behind Palpatine’s throne is the iconic window, featuring a new piece designed specifically for the set. Along with a little 40th anni♊versary plaque, the diorama is adorned with a quote from the movie: “I am a Jedi, like my father before me.” You get three Minifigures: Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine, who also comes with a pair of ✃lightning bolts. 

If you’re at all tempted by the Dark Side, you can check out t💯he at Lego, ahead of the set&rsq🌃uo;s launch on May 1.

Endor Speeder Chase Diorama

The final set announced is a snapshot from the icoಞnic speed bike chase through the fores♑ts of Endor. This rather dynamic-looking set features a pair of brick-built redwood trees, new molded fern elements, two speeder bikes and three Minifigures: Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker and a Scout Trooper. 

The speeder bikes are held up using transparent pieces and can be posed in a variety of dynamic angles, which should add to the display factor. As with the Emperor's Throne Room Diorama, the set features a 40th anniversary plaque and a scene-sp🔥ecific quote from Luke: “Quick! Jam their comlinks. Center switch!” 

Get on you🧜r speeder bike and scout out the via the Lego website ahead of the May 1 launch.
