Lego Reveals Star Wars Day Sets, Including A New Ultimate Collector Series Kit

Soon, it’ll be the most magical time of the year, as Star Wars Day is almost upon us. To celebrate, Lego has revealed a few new kits set in that universe, and you won’t have to wait a long (long!) time to get your hands on them. As part of the Lego Star Wars 25th anniversary celebrations, there’ll be several legacy sets arriving, as well as the main event, a TIE Interceptor from the Lego Ultimate Collector Series. Lego Insiders (free to sign up) will be able to purchase this kit first on May 1 before it rolls out to everyone else on May 4, and it comes with a neat free gift in the form of a Trade Federation troop carrier kit. This would normally be $30 on its own, but it’ll be a freebie so that your Jedi and Sith minifigures have some mechanical targets to practice their lightsaber skills on.

Other sets being released on May 1 include Darth Maul’s Sith Infiltrator spaceship, a stunning Mos Espa podrace diorama, and a cool Droideka model for you to display. Some of the new sets will come with another free gift as well: the Battle of Yavin medallion . You can see the full list below of everything that’s coming out next month on Star Wars Day.

Lego TIE Interceptor (1,931 pieces) — $230

The fastest–and possibly most dangerous to actually fly–Imperial spacecraft is back and ready to take on some Rebel scum. This set has almost 2,000 pieces waiting to be combined into a TIE Interceptor and display stand, and once you’re done, you can pose it with a neat anniversary plaque.

Lego Darth Maul’s Sith Infiltrator (640 pieces) — $70

First seen in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Darth Maul’s Sith Interceptor lets you recreate the Tatooine chase sequence. It comes with a Darth Maul minifigure, as well as young Anakin Skywalker and Qui-Gonn Jinn. As a Star Wars 25th anniversary bonus, you’ll also get a Saw Gerrera minifigure.

Lego Mos Espa Podrace Diorama (718 pieces) — $80

Now this is podracing! This adorable little diorama recaptures the magic of the Mos Espa podrace where Anakin earned his freedom. This set includes Anakin and Sebulba’s Podracers, a plaque bearing Qui-Gon Jinn’s advice, and a special Lego anniversary brick.

Lego Droideka (583 pieces) — $65

One of the more interesting droid designs from the Phantom Menace, the Droideka is designed to be a centerpiece of your collection. It doesn’t have a force-field generator, but it can roll up into a ball shape, its arms move back and forth to simulate a shooting motion, and you can even build a tiny replica of the Lego replica.

Lego BARC Speeder Escape (221 pieces) — $30

This small set will let you recreate the memorable Jedi Temple flashback scene from The Mandalorian, where Jedi master Kelleran Beq–played by Jar Jar Binks himself, Ahmed Best–and Grogu escaped from several 501st Clone Troopers. You can put Grogu in his hoverpram into the sidecar, and the vehicle can even launch studs from its cannons.

Lego Star Wars The Phantom Menace BrickHeadz (732 pieces) — $55

This cute set of Phantom Menace characters–Jar Jar Binks, Anakin Skywalker, Queen Amidala, Captain Panaka, Qui-Gon Jinn, and Darth Maul–are easy to build and look quite cute. Just don’t look into Darth Maul’s eyes, because that’s a trip to some real nightmare fuel.

Lego Clone Commander Cody (147 pieces) — $10

Or if you just want a single Brickhead–perfect for a lunchtime build–this blocky replica of the heroic Clone Trooper Commander Cody from Revenge of the Sith is up to the task.
