About this deal
Yes, you should absolutely buy the Lego Star Wars Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder. This is one of our favorite Lego Star Wars models of recent years, perfectly balancing detail, build quality, and price. Perhaps it’s not quite as impressive in scale as the 7,541 piece Millennium Falcon, but it’s also a quarter of the price.

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: Build and display the first-ever LEGO Star Wars UCS version of Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder from Star Wars: A New Hope The other two engines on the right and top are very similar to each other but because of the way they attach to the vehicle they vary a bit in construction. Each of them uses a version of this central core with lots of SNOT elements for omni-directional studs. 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. Thankfully, Lego has varied the construction of each a little, so each engine isn’t a complete replica of each other. This is perhaps the slowest part of the build, but aside from the stand they’re the last things to do. So, once you’re finished with them, you’ve got a fantastic finished model to admire. Lego Star Wars Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder: Design 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. The Landspeeder technical data display plate and stand to create a hover effect make this Star Wars set perfect for home or office décor
Lego Star Wars Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder review | Space
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. This buildable Star Wars vehicle measures over 4 in. (10 cm) high, 19 in. (49 cm) long and 11.5 in. (30 cm) wide.
The new set forms part of the LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series sets, which also include the Millennium Falcon, the A-Wing, the Republic Gunship, and the recently released AT-AT. Perhaps someday LEGO will create miniland-scale figures to accompany UCS sets, but for now, here’s a miniland-scale R2-D2. And speaking of figures, let’s take a look at them now.
