The Lego rendition of Luke Skywalker's iconic X-34 Landspeeder is currently available at a significant discount on Amazon as part of their Black Friday promotions. You can now purchase the Landspeeder set for just $168, representing a substantial $82 reduction from its usual $240 price tag. This offer went live on November 29, but it's uncertain if it will still be available tomorrow. Amazon's top Lego Black Friday deals often disappear quickly—approximately 25% of the stock was snapped up within the first hour.
This 1,890-piece model kit is part of Lego's prestigious Ultimate Collector Series, a selection of Star Wars Lego sets known for their intricate and realistic designs. While Ultimate Collector Series Star Wars Lego sets are rarely discounted, Amazon is offering savings on not just one, but two of these coveted sets. The 6,187-piece Star Wars Razor Crest UCS is currently discounted by an impressive $184, bringing the price down from $600 to $416. While $416 is still a considerable sum, it's worth noting that this set comprises 6,187 pieces.
This meticulously detailed model of Luke's ground vehicle measures 19 inches in length when fully assembled. Unlike George Lucas and his film crew, who required reflective materials, gelatin on the camera lens, and shadow effects to simulate the landspeeder's hovering motion, you can achieve the same visual effect with the included display stand. The set also comes with a plaque detailing key information about the Landspeeder and two Star Wars minifigures: Luke Skywalker and C-3PO. These figures can either stand beside the plaque or be seated in the cockpit.
As part of the Ultimate Collector Series, this Landspeeder boasts a level of detail not commonly found in most Star Wars Lego sets. Custom-molded parts give it a unique appearance, even at first glance. The set includes numerous small, intricate details, such as a tiny dashboard display with actual information, an accurate windshield, and turbines that look remarkably realistic for being made of plastic. Just like in the movie, one of the port turbines is uncovered, revealing an elaborate network of wiring.
The Landspeeder, and Ultimate Collector Series Star Wars builds in general, are more complex than many other Lego sets. However, if you've built your share of Lego sets and are a Star Wars enthusiast, there's a good chance you'll thoroughly enjoy assembling this stunning replica of the best ground vehicle on Tatooine.
