LEGO never ceases to delight by addressing everyone with its new products. This time, one of them should charm fans of a well-known saga. Not necessarily good news for the wallet.
LEGO is truly aimed at everyone by adapting more or less all the major pop culture licenses and much more: Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, Star Wars… And today, it’s something new of the big Disney license which is in the spotlight. This is not the first set on the subject and certainly not the last either. The advantage is that this time, it’s rather affordable and we’re far from the three-figure creations that undermine your bank account.
The wonderful world of LEGO
The world of LEGO Star Wars is about to be enriched with a new creation: the set 75378 BARC Speeder Escape, inspired by the third season of The Mandalorian. An image leaked via an Amazon ad has given fans a first look at what to expect in May 2024.
This set recreates Grogu’s memorable escape scene, incorporating a detailed model of the speeder bike equipped with a sidepod to welcome Grogu into his floating pod. A first in the LEGO Star Wars universe: the Kelleran Beq minifigure is introduced, adding unique character to this collection.
The set, which includes 221 pieces, also offers a secondary construction in the shape of a street lamp and is accompanied by two soldiers from the 501st regiment, thus adding an extra dimension to the set and offering multiple play possibilities.
The BARC Speeder will be available at a price of 29.99 euros and will be released on May 1, along with other new Star Wars products still under a veil of secrecy. Here are the essential details of the set:
- Set number: 75378
- Name: BARC Speeder Escape
- Release date: May 1
- Price: 29.99 euros
- Number of pieces: 221
- Number of minifigures: 4
Without a doubt, we can say that Star Wars is one of the universes that receives the most attention from LEGO. It must be said that there is material, between the numerous episodes of the films, the series and the entire extended universe. There is enough to last for… 100 years perhaps?
For the month of April, we have the right to some great outings, as you can see in our dedicated file:
