The Lego Group has announced its Lego Star Wars 25th anniversary collection will continue to expand with new launches on Star Wars Day: May the 4th.
The TIE Interceptor building set which was part of the first launch of the Ultimate Collector Series in 2000 is back in a new and redesigned version. Fans of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi can relive the action of the movie, as they recreate the distinctive wings, detailed cockpit and laser cannons of the magnificent Lego Star Wars TIE Interceptor building set.
The 1,931-piece set is an impressive 16 inches long and comes complete with an exclusive TIE Pilot minifigure and Mouse Droid figure, currently limited to this set. The model is mounted on a stand with a printed plaque and includes a 1.3-inch wide printed brick with the Lego Star Wars anniversary logo.
Meanwhile, fans of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace can dive into building a dynamic snapshot of Tatooine with the Mos Espa Podrace Diorama building set. The 718-piece display set includes Anakin Skywalker, the Arch Canyon and a plaque with Qui-Gon Jinn’s advice: “Remember. Concentrate on the moment. Feel. Don’t think. Use your instincts.”
With the 640-piece Darth Maul’s Sith Infiltrator building set, fans can fold out the wings and retract the landing gear for flight, fire the two spring-loaded shooters and press the trigger to drop three DRK-1 probe droids from the front compartment.
Alternatively, fans can check out the brick-built destroyer droid, Droideka set with 583 pieces. For those who prefer brick-built display characters, there are six collectible Lego BrickHeadz figures featuring Jar Jar Binks, Anakin Skywalker, Queen Amidala, Captain Panaka, Qui-Gon Jinn and Darth Maul.
For Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith fans, there is also a BrickHeadz Clone Commander Cody set. Anyone who is team Grogu will be pleased to now be able to immerse themselves into the building experience of the 221-piece BARC Speeder Escape alongside Kelleran Beq.
May the 4th celebrations continue in Lego Fortnite, with exciting new Lego Star Wars content to discover in the survival crafting game beginning on 3rd May.
Also launching for pre-order on 1st May is the new Lego Star Wars Coffee Table Book, The Force of Creativity. The book includes development art, character designs and gives fans a true insight into the Lego Star Wars galaxy and is available for pre-order here.
Fans are also invited to join the 25-Second Film Festival, which will be open until 22nd April and culminates on 4th May and invites fans to submit their own 25-second clip that recreates their favourite Star Wars moments or forges a new one with Lego Star Wars building sets and minifigures they treasure.
From 1st to 5th May, Lego Star Wars fans will receive all three ‘gift with purchases’ when purchasing the new Lego Star Wars TIE Interceptor, including the Battle of Yavin collectible depicting Darth Vader’s cockpit view, the Trade Federation Troop Carrier set commemorating the 25th anniversary of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, and the AAT building set. These offerings coincide with the Lego Star Wars May the 4th live stream event featuring special offers, set reveals, designer presentation and giveaways such as a signed TIE Interceptor set in the US, UK and Germany on 1st May.
The new Lego Star Wars products will be available from 1st May. The Lego Star Wars TIE Interceptor set is available exclusively at Lego stores and online with Lego Insiders early access from 1st May, and all shoppers from 4th May.
