Recently, LEGO added a new piece to its shelves: a magnificent replica of Luke Skywalker’s famous Landspeeder, thanks to which he can move around Tatooine. It must be said that this model brings together 1,890 parts, which foreshadows several hours of construction – and a detailed vehicle, to proudly display on a piece of furniture.
