After just getting a first look at the new LEGO Tantive IV diorama this morning, we can also show off another new upcoming LEGO Star Wars set from the March 2024 wave.
Landing for spring, the new LEGO buildable R2-D2 will be arriving as set number 75379 when it does hit store shelves with the rest of the 25th anniversary Star Wars sets. It will include 1,050 pieces and assembles a smaller version of everyone’s favorite Astromech droid than the JCS version that came out a few years back. The smaller part count also means a more affordable price tag at $99.99.
The new buildable R2-D2 is also going to include a special celebratory minifigure. Today’s reveal gives us a first look at the new 25th anniversary Darth Malak minifig, which comes with a themed display base as we originally reported earlier in the month.
