A new version of the iconic transport vehicle is coming to the LEGO Star Wars collection – 75459 Imperial Lambda-Class Shuttle.
75459 Imperial Lambda-Class Shuttle is coming to LEGO Star Wars later this year, based on the memorable scenes from Star Wars: The Mandalorian Season 2’s epic finale. The set uses 961 pieces, retails for £139.99 / $139.99 / €149.99 and will launch on July 1.

Five minifigures come in the set – Din Djarin, Moff Gideon, Imperial Shuttle Pilot, a Stormtrooper and the debut of Dr Pershing. Cara Dune would have been relevant but is notably absent.
The set builds the iconic vehicle that was memorable introduced in Return of the Jedi. The set has a decent roster of features; the wings fold up for landing mode and down for flight mode, there are spring loaded shooters, the exit ramp lifts and lowers and the cockpit opens to place the minifigures.
It has been a busy few days for LEGO Star Wars announcements, with 75451 Hutt Palace Sentry Droid Showdown, the novel 75461 Up-Scaled Darth Vader Minifigure and the collection-expanding 75458 Imperial Remnant AT-RT Driver Helmet all confirmed for release over the next few months.
The big new launch is the Ultimate Collector Series 75442 The Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter, which has free extras when you buy it during the May 4th promotion.
