Intricate LEGO version of Luke Sykwalker’s Landspeeder arrives for Star Wars fans

Posted on by

The ultimate LEGO version of the Luke Skywalker’s X-34 Landspeeder arrives for Star Wars fanatics.

Star Wars Day is just a couple of weeks afar and already the Star Wars franchise has already given fans enough reasons to spend exorbitant amounts of cash on the Ultimate Collector Series Millennium Falcon, AT-AT Walker, or the irresistible DeLorean Time Machine. So, what more could burn a hole in a fan’s pocket?

Well, it’s time for the Luke Skywalker’s rugged X-34 Landspeeder to take up the LEGO form. Yes, the Star Wars Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder 1,890-piece LEGO set has officially landed. The iconic orange Landspeeder set is 19-inches long and comes with a detailed interpretation of the exposed turbine engine on the left, a curved windshield, and cute little minifigs. Priced at $199, this detailed LEGO brick interpretation is not cheap by any means, but then, nothing is too expensive for Star Wars fans, or is it?

The LEGO set designed by César Carvalhosa Soares is crafted with utmost attention to detail as even the scratches of the original one have been replicated. He added by saying, “The finished product makes an incredible display and is the perfect addition to the UCS collection.”

Putting together the Landspeeder will be a satisfying experience, and in a way, it puts some of the other versions to shame considering the level of detail on this one. Apparently, this is not the first time LEGO has officially released the Landspeeder, but this one is way better and also comes with meticulously crafted parts that aren’t available anywhere else.

The set comes complete with a display plaque to sport it on your living room shelf or geek work desk. It’s going to be available for LEGO VIPs on May 1, and others can order it from May 4th from the official portal. Whether there’ll be more surprises coming our way in the following week still remains to be seen!

LEGO Luke Skywalker and Yoda Dagobah Training Playset: Do or Do Not Buy

Posted on by

Master Yoda training Luke on Dagobah: it’s an iconic movie scene. And what better way to immortalize Luke’s struggle to gain control over the Force than with an official LEGO set? I can’t think of any. Come on, Luke, lift that X-Wing out of the swamp – you can do it! No? Dammit, Luke, Darth Vader is your father!

The exactly 1,000-piece set will retail for $79.99, and you can pre-order it on the LEGO site now. It includes Yoda’s modest hut, a large Gnarltree, Luke’s X-Wing peeking one of its wings out of the swamp, as well as Luke, Yoda, and R2-D2 minifigs. Remember when Yoda made Luke carry him around like a backpack? That was my favorite part. My cousins make me do the same thing for them.

There’s no question this will make a lovely addition to all the other Star Wars LEGO sets I already own, which is all of them. Yep, all 700+ of them. Can you believe there are so many Star Wars LEGO sets? My wife sure can, especially when she’s trying to navigate absolutely anywhere in the house without stepping on any.

Star Wars Severed Luke Skywalker and Wampa Hand Magnets

Posted on by

Adding to Regal Robot’s Separation Collection, the company has introduced two new magnets: a severed Luke Skywalker hand holding a lightsaber and a severed wampa hand. These are joining the previously posted tauntaun head magnet that was the first in the collection. Am I gonna catch ’em all like Pokémon? I’m pretty sure my fridge would hate me if I didn’t.

Each magnet costs $30, is cast from solid resin, and hand-painted by Regal Robot’s artists. Can you make a special request for some blood splatter on the wampa arm? No, unfortunately, you’ll have to add those finishing touches yourself once the magnets arrive.

In the coming months, the hands will soon be joined by yet another addition to the collection, which from the image above is very clearly a severed C-3P0 arm, and not Jar Jar Binks’ severed head like you might have guessed if you’re a terrible, but wishful guesser.

Learn To Duel Like A Jedi At This Lightsaber Academy

Posted on by

If you’ve ever wanted to learn to fight with a lightsaber you can now take a class that’ll teach you to fight like a real Jedi…if you’re in Singapore.

Each 60 minute class promises to show you the basics to becoming an apprentice Jedi. Now, 60 minutes may seem like a short amount amount of time to learn lightsaber techniques, but just look at Luke, he had almost no training but he saved the day, didn’t he? And Rey has literally no training at all. Basically I’m saying you could become a better Jedi than Rey by flying to Singapore and signing up for a single 60-minute session.

At the end of the class, you get to fight an opponent one-on-one and the winner gets to take the loser’s hand. Oh, and the lightsabers make awesome whooshing noises and light-up, so cool.

Each class costs $25. I suppose it’s more of a fun thing to do with a couple of friends if you’re in the area, but I’m pretty sure I can’t refund a plane ticket to Singapore, so I’ll see you losers when I’m a Jedi Master.
