LEGO has announced the release of its upcoming LEGO Landspeeder set from Star Wars. The set is titled the 'LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series Luke Skywalker's Landspeeder,' and it measures 50 cm x 30 cm x 17 cm. LEGO used this massive size to ensure that the Landspeeder was both detailed and sturdy.
LEGO's Landspeeder is incredibly accurate to the vehicle's depiction on the big screen. All the way from the missing engine cover down to noteworthy scratches on the hull, the 1,890-piece LEGO Landspeeder set is a high-quality collector's item for Star Wars fans.
This is not the only recent notable release from LEGO for Star Wars fans, though, as the brand has also put out iconic sets such as the Millennium Falcon and the AT-AT.
