Ahead of Black Friday, Amazon has discounted the LEGO Star Wars Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder 75341 to $175, a savings of nearly 30% off. This is only the second this time that the Landspeeder has been priced below the 10 cent per brick mark. You won’t have many more opportunities to get it on sale because the set is going to retire soon.
LEGO Star Wars Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder 75341
Luke’s Landspeeder is a UCS, or Ultimate Collector Series, kit. It consists of 1,890 pieces and the resulting build is impressively large at 20″ long, 12″ wide, and 4″ high. According to LEGO, “the LEGO Ultimate Collector Series represents the very best in collectible LEGO sets. Featuring hard to find, exclusive, and impressively-large LEGO sets, made especially with adult collectors in mind.”
This is a faithful recreation of Luke’s X-34 Landspeeder from the original Star Wars: A New Hope movie. There are plenty of cool little details here, like the exposed engine turbine with the guts exposed, the two seater cockpit with driving stick and detailed dashboard, a large specially molded windscreen, and more. Two minifigures – Luke Skywalker with his lightsaber and electrobinoculars and C-3PO – are included.
This is a really enjoyable build with a lot of different color coded interior components to make the build more user friendly, although it’s still recommended for builders ages 18 and up. It’s also a refreshing change from the largely monotone grey builds we’re used to seeing in the vast majority of UCS models (not a fault of LEGO and more a product of the Star Wars universe). UCS price drops don’t last very long, so expect this deal to end promptly at midnight, if not sooner!
Should You Buy Now or Wait for Black Friday?
At this point, Black Friday is only a few weeks away and in most cases it’s better to wait. However, pricier LEGO sets are an exception. Often times you’ll see a specific set go on sale before Black Friday and then go out of stock quickly, never to be seen again. If LEGO Star Wars sets aren’t your preferred theme, here are a list of other LEGO sets we hope to go on sale.
