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. 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. The landspeeder has two small holes on the underside where the stand slots in, but the rest of the vehicle’s underside is unremarkable. If I had one wish for this model it’s that it were a little closer to the film prop, as opposed to the in-universe vehicle. The real prop had a regular vehicle chassis with wheels that were crudely blurred out (via petroleum jelly on the film) to make it “float”. I would have loved for this landspeeder to include flip-down wheels so that it could be pushed around “floating” on the ground. But I also understand why LEGO didn’t go this route, as UCS models have always tried to be as accurate to the in-universe designs as possible. Still, it seems a relatively easy modification to make, so undoubtedly some fans will design a great conversion.

Lego Star Wars Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder review | Space

I'm not complaining. I am just curious how many other SW sets have a vehicle larger than minifigure scale"I like it, although the nose looks a little too long. I won't get it because I prefer minifig-scale stuff. 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. 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. That is some large windscreen, I fear the it will be covered in scratches, on the soft trans clear plastic.

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. 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.

Luke's Landspeeder is one of the best (and most reasonably-priced) UCS Lego sets of recent years.

I would have liked to see some removable panels in the long hood with technical details beneath; the interior structure could easily accommodate it. To me it's a UCS spot that could have been used for a much more interesting vehicle. Those speeders are so common that every SW fan on the planet should have at least a handful by now. Plus, where did all the pieces go? Is the interior filled with 1x1 plates in all the colours of the rainbow? The set doesn't look like half the pieces imho. Such a nice model. It's not in the same league as the Millennium Falcon, Star Destroyer and AT-AT UCS sets, they are a class apart, but it fits in nicely with the A-Wing and Y-Wing of recent years. I certainly prefer it to the Gunship, which is the only UCS in the last 6 years I haven't bought.

While the flex tubes may be the most novel technique in the set, with just the landspeeder’s engines left, the rest of the build is far from boring. Each of the three engines is unique and they’re delightfully complex with studs in all directions and ample use of half-stud offsets and clip connections. The first engine to build is the left, and it’s the one that makes this Luke’s landspeeder rather than a generic X-34, as it’s missing most of its exterior paneling. 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."

This buildable Star Wars vehicle measures over 4 in. (10 cm) high, 19 in. (49 cm) long and 11.5 in. (30 cm) wide.
