oh my word Lego is doing it again! Did anyone else notice that there was a UCS landspeeder that got 10,000 supporters on Lego Ideas and they declined it? now like 10 years later... boom. 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. 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.

Do I want the set? Hmmm…lots of intense emotional reaction surrounding this one, might be time for some Hulk Logic. I honestly really like it and the promotional set is good enough that this will be a day 1 buy for me. Use clever building techniques to construct the recognisable features plus a custom-made LEGO element captures the windscreen’s shapeI want Prequel trilogy UCS sets so badly, but am happy for Lego to churn out these OT sets until the market is ready for them. The one in the pictures won't even be used in THIS set, there's no way it's this clear and scratch-free. Be transported to the desert planet of Tatooine as you build the first-ever LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series version of Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder (75341). Use new building techniques and custom-made LEGO elements to recreate this iconic vehicle in intricate detail. Build and display the first-ever LEGO Star Wars UCS version of Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder from Star Wars: A New Hope Looking at the comparison shot they posted on the box art, really surprised no-one else is commenting that this is about 6-8 studs too longer at the front."

It's actually pretty nice and sleek, it makes a good UCS set. I can't really think of anything else from the OT to do, I'm being honest" This Star Wars collectible includes 2 iconic characters: Luke Skywalker with a lightsaber and electro-binoculars plus C-3PO LEGO minifigures And a nice model, too, but wouldn’t it be great if they finally noticed that SNOT techniques may be useful not only for details (like engine nacelles) but also for the entire hull? God awful naked, colorful stud holes on the underside, just like on the Falcon and many others… Shouldn’t UCS be something special? I like it, although the nose looks a little too long. I won't get it because I prefer minifig-scale stuff. Unfortunately, there’s a little repetition when it comes to building the three engines of the Lego Star Wars Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder. You’ll build the broken engine first, complete with its exposed wiring and mechanics. Next is the in-tact engine to sit on the other side of the ship, and finally the central engine that sits on top.It looks alright, but I can think of at least a dozen PT ships that would've deserved a UCS version more." 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. The canopy is the only wholly new element, but there are a few other elements of note. First of all, this set is a goldmine for nougat elements, with 302 spread across 16 elements. Some of them are new in nougat to this set, such as the mudguards.

Thanks to wonderfully clear instructions, every stage of building Luke’s Landspeeder is great fun. Despite being an 18+ set, the instruction book remains simple and concise, never instructing you to place too many pieces in one go. It means it’s really easy to follow and despite this being a huge model, we’re confident younger builders should be able to enjoy it with minimal supervision. There are also a few minifig-scale playsets: 10188 / 75159 Death Star, 10236 Ewok Village, and 75098 Assault on Hoth.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. As has become common with 18+ sets and UCS models in particular, Lego Star Wars Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder comes complete with a purpose-built display stand. It includes an information plaque, along with a space for the two included minifigures – Luke and C-3PO – to stand. The rounded nose is built as a completely separate sub-assembly, and it’s where we first delve into some more complex building techniques, as the large quarter-circle slopes don’t come in matching top/bottom versions, so the bottom ones are flipped upside down. There’s also some very interesting techniques to hold the very tip of the nose in place which at first it seemed way over-engineered. But once the curved flex tubing is added later, it’s apparent that the extra strength this design provides is needed. I still want my Ep6 speederbike! There was also a a lot of support for a Nebbie, a twin-pod cloud car or a T-16 might be interesting, the sail barge would be popular, the skiff probably less-so, and they could probably make the Rebel transport and at least one Mon Cal cruiser work (but they’d need to be spaced out a bit. They could make the SE Imperial landing craft, but I don’t know how well that would play vs the Tyderium. There will also be repeats of vehicles that have already been done. So, there’s a lot of life left besides just the Bomber. But I’m also hoping to get the Soulless One someday, and Jango’s Slave I. If they get to the point where they’re making one of those Yavin base ferries as a UCS set, _then_ they need to abandon the OT. I love the detail on this model (and that Threepio minifig!!!), but can’t help but feel the irony of this release. The novelty just isn’t there with a vehicle that Lego releases every other year in System-scale.

Ah, yes you are 100% correct. Also looking again and thinking more, I suppose the playsets (like Ewok Village) are also not minifig-SCALE, but rather minifig-COMPATIBLE. 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 Had no idea we were due for another UCS so early after the AT-AT, but I like the subject matter here. To me the single biggest factor that makes this a success is the new bubble windscreen, nothing else would have worked at this scale so this part was absolutely necessary. The modern color palette is at a good place to do justice on the paint job, and plenty of exposed studs for the authentic "LEGO" look. The nose clips into the body of the speeder, and then plates and tiles are laid over it, more or less permanently affixing it. You won’t be able to easily remove it to fit the landspeeder in a smaller box, for instance. Now, for the rest, some ships are bigger than minifig-scale (X-wings), some ships are smaller (Star Destroyers)... I'll let someone else parse out those answers. :)"Anyway, the designers did a really nice job here capturing the landspeeder's colors and "streamline moderne" inspired curves! It's also neat that C-3PO finally has a dual-molded right leg, something that I feel is long overdue. I could just as easily do without some of the other details on that minifigure like the printing on the sides of the legs, but the dual-molded leg is a big improvement over the printed silver details that previous C-3PO minifigs had to settle for. So maybe a weird opinion,but I think this would fit beautifully alongside the other 'movie car' replicas - Ecto 1, Batmobile, Delorean, etc. " We are talking about 200 Euro for something that probably costs less than 30 Euro to produce and the Lego sells for "collectors", hence the UCS name." Most, but not by a huge margin. The Death Star, SSD, ISD (x2), and Tantive IV are smaller scale. The Falcon (x2), Tyderium, Slave I, AT-AT, are about the same scale. Naboo Starfighter and sandcrawler are at or smaller than minifig scale. Then you’ve got X-Wing (x2), Y-Wing (x2), A-Wing, B-Wing, Snowspeeder (x2), TIE Fighter, Vader’s TIE, TIE Interceptor, AT-ST, Jedi Starfighter, and Republic Gunship that are all clearly larger. That’s 5:7:14, so just over half, if you eliminate character builds and playsets from the discussion. There are also a few minifig-scale playsets: 10188/ 75159 Death Star, 10236 Ewok Village, and 75098 Assault on Hoth.
