LEGO Star Wars Lambda-class Imperial Shuttle 10212
As Han Solo said to Chewbacca about the Lambda-class Imperial Shuttle: "I doubt the Empire had Wookiees in mind when they designed her, Chewie." Now you can take designing this infamous member of the Imperial Military Fleet into your own hands.
Check out the video by the official LEGO designer that was in charge of designing this model.
This large scale LEGO model of the elegant Star Wars vehicle has been designed authentically, with several true to the movie details and features. As seen in Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, this commonly used Imperial transport is not your average space shuttle. With two rotating wing laser cannons, this Imperial shuttle is heavily armed enough to transport troops and even the highest ranking Imperial leaders.
The Lambda-class shuttle is the chosen transport for the Imperial elite, such as Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader, and features a tri-wing design, with a stationary central wing and two gear-driven folding side wings that fold up in landing position and fold down when taking off to all sorts of exotic locations across the galaxy. The folding action is controlled by turning two removable activation keys in the rear of the model. You can display this elegant work of Imperial engineering with its wings folded down on the included display stand or with its wings folded up on the removable landing gear. This model also features an opening cockpit roof, so you can recreate your favorite scenes by filling the four person cockpit with Emperor Palpatine and his royal guards or a covert Rebel strike team led by Han Solo en-route to the forest moon of Endor. Or you can create your own exciting scenarios.
This huge 2,503 piece set includes a display stand, name plate and label sheet, and measures 28? (71 cm) tall on stand and 22? (57 cm) wide with wings folded down. Also included are five LEGO Star Wars mini figures: Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Shuttle Pilot, Imperial Officer, and Stormtrooper. Coming this September, this LEGO set will be one of the largest models in the LEGO Star Wars line, with measurements comparable to the huge Millennium Falcon LEGO set.
