2027 is just around the corner, and with it, the celebration of the Star Wars 50th anniversary. These are the first 7 LEGO sets
Darth Vader 2-in-1 Wall Art
This $70 set comes with 628 pieces. It is meant to be used as a decoration on your wall or mounted on the built-in stand, but the coolest thing about this set is that you can build Darth Vader’s helmet or the iconic quote “I am your father” with a Lightsaber as a backdrop, which creates a 3D layered effect. Release date: January 1, 2027.
A New Hope Movie Poster
Arguably, the coolest set of the bunch. For a whopping $300 and 3,209 pieces, you can recreate the original poster that was released when A New Hope came out in 1977.
While there are other sets that are based on the same idea, this is the first time it’s been implemented in Star Wars. It’s important that you take into consideration that this set is aimed at experienced builders, so giving it to someone without enough experience might not be the best idea. Release date: January 4. LEGO Insiders: January 1-3, 2027.
Mustafar Duel
One of the most iconic duels in the saga, not just because of how good the duel itself is, but because of what it represents in the grand scheme of things.
With 372 pieces and a $40 price tag, you can relive Obi-Wan and Anakin’s duel on Mustafar. As part of the 50th anniversary celebration, this set includes a limited-release Han Solo Concept Art minifigure. Release date: January 1, 2027.
Rebel Y-Wing Starfighter
The Y-Wing Starfighter will be available for $80 and comes with 676 pieces. This set keeps the Y-Wing’s bomb-dropping capabilities by including 2 stud shooters and a button that can drop 3 proton bombs.
This ship comes with four minifigures: Dutch Vander, R2-BHD, Mon Mothma, and a limited-release Luke Skywalker Concept Art. Release date: January 1, 2027.
Duel on Bespin
We already got Mustafar, and obviously, the duel between Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker had to be included in this batch of sets. This set is priced at $80 and comes with 718 pieces.
It includes a small portion of the structure where Vader cuts Luke’s hand. Aside from the standard Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader minifigures, this one also comes with an additional Darth Vader Concept Art minifigure. Release date: January 1, 2027.
Up-Scaled Luke Skywalker Minifigure
Luke Skywalker joins the small roster of up-scaled figures with this 891-piece set. This $100 (not so) minifigure is over 10 inches (26 cm) tall. Despite its massive size, it has a movable head, hands, legs, and left arm. It also comes with a limited-release Princess Leia Concept Art minifigure. Release date: January 1, 2027.
Stormtrooper (Concept Art) Helmet
Ralph McQuarrie’s early illustrations are both iconic and incredibly valuable to what Star Wars eventually became. LEGO is paying homage to McQuarrie’s work with this 832-piece helmet priced at $80. Release date: January 1, 2027.
