Star Wars Day is just a few weeks away, and just in time for the celebration, a new Lego kit of the iconic X-Wing Starfighter has been announced. On sale starting May 4, this Lego kit has a modest 1,949 pieces and costs $240.
As the newest model in the Ultimate Collector Series, it has a number of parts that are screen-accurate to the X-Wings seen in the original Star Wars films and TV series, such as the signature KX9 laser cannons, thrust engines, and S-foils that can be locked to attack position.
Once built, it’s an impressively sized starfighter to have in your collection, as it measures 10.5 inches in height and around 21.5 inches in length. This isn’t the first time that Lego has developed X-Wing kits, as many sets have been released since 1999, but this iteration is more mechanically involved and has more pieces than previous models.
