A Look Ahead: New LEGO Star Wars Releases
LEGO is kicking off this year's Star Wars Day celebrations with an array of new sets set to launch on May 1st. As fans of LEGO Star Wars, we can't help but get excited about these upcoming releases. Each year, LEGO strives to surpass previous offerings, and this year is no exception. So, let’s dive into the brand new sets that will be available for all the Star Wars enthusiasts out there!
Star Wars Logo Brick-Built Set
First up on the list is a neat 700-piece kit that allows you to create the iconic STAR WARS logo. While it may not be for everyone, this set would make a fantastic addition to your LEGO collection, especially when paired with other builds you have on display.
- Pieces: 700
- Dimensions: 5 in. (13 cm) high, 11.5 in. (30 cm) long, and 1 in. (3 cm) deep
- Release Date: May 1st
Chopper (C1-10P) Astromech Droid Model
Next, we have a detailed model of Chopper from Rebels and Ahsoka. While Chopper is best known from the Rebels series, this version is officially marked from Ahsoka. Regardless, it promises to be a fun build, complete with some moving and hidden parts, making it a must-have for fans of the character.
- Pieces: 1,039
- Dimensions: 8.5 in. (22 cm) tall, 6 in. (16 cm) wide, and 3.5 in. (10 cm) long
- Release Date: May 1st
Kylo Ren & Jango Fett Helmets
Adding to the ever-expanding LEGO Star Wars helmet collection, we have two new sets featuring Kylo Ren and Jango Fett.
Kylo Ren’s helmet is particularly iconic, and many fans were surprised it took this long to be released. On the flip side, Jango Fett’s helmet feels more like a rehash, but it’s still a nice addition to the collection.
Kylo Ren Helmet
- Pieces: 529
- Dimensions: 7 in. (18 cm) high, 4.5 in. (11 cm) wide, and 5 in. (13 cm) deep
Jango Fett Helmet
- Pieces: 616
- Dimensions: 8.5 in. (21 cm) high, 4.5 in. (12 cm) long, and 4 in. (11 cm) deep
Kylo Ren’s Command Shuttle
One of the standout pieces this year is Kylo Ren’s Command Shuttle, which marks a special addition to the Starship collection in celebration of the 10th anniversary of The Force Awakens. While I personally enjoy the Starship collection and own most of it, I feel a bit lukewarm about this shuttle. It’s a compact design that doesn’t fit the standard size of the iconic ships we often see in the collection, and at $69.99 for just 386 pieces, it feels a bit pricey.
- Pieces: 386
- Dimensions: 10.5 in. (26 cm) high, 5 in. (13 cm) long, and 17.5 in. (44 cm) wide in flight mode
- Release Date: May 1st
Rebel U-Wing Starfighter
One of the most anticipated sets is the U-wing from Rogue One and Andor. This set is impressive and packed with exciting play features, making it a must-buy for fans. Not only does it sport a slick design, but at the same price as Kylo Ren's shuttle, it also offers 200 more pieces. It’s an easy choice for my next purchase!
- Pieces: 594
- Dimensions: 3.5 in. (9 cm) high, 16 in. (41 cm) long, and 6 in. (16 cm) wide
- Release Date: May 1st
LEGO Star Wars BrickHeadz
We also have two new BrickHeadz sets featuring iconic characters: one of Luke as a Rebel pilot and another featuring characters from Revenge of the Sith. While not everyone’s cup of tea, if you’re a fan of these figures, they’re definitely worth adding to your collection.
Luke Skywalker (Rebel Pilot)
Revenge of the Sith Heroes and Villains
UCS Jango Fett’s Firespray-Class Starship
Last, but certainly not least, we have Jango Fett’s Firespray-Class Starship, boasting nearly three thousand pieces. This massive UCS build is the second iteration of this ship, with the first appearing in a different color back in 2015. This new version has garnered rave reviews from those lucky enough to preview it, so if you’re looking for a standout set, this could be the one to grab.
- Pieces: 2,970
- Dimensions: 7.5 in. (19 cm) high, 17.5 in. (44 cm) long, and 15.5 in. (39 cm) wide
