Jabba’s resplendent Sail Barge is the next addition to Lego’s Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series. Made up of a whopping 3,942 pieces, the $499.99 set will be available to purchase first for Lego Insiders members on Oct. 3. It will then be available to everyone starting Oct. 6. As an added incentive to sign up for a free Lego Insiders account, those who purchase the set before Oct. 6 will get a free 145-piece recreation of Luke Skywalker’s Lightsaber from A New Hope.
The last time Jabba’s Sail Barge was made into a Lego set was back in 2013, but featured just 850 pieces. This much larger version is certainly more intimidating, and its massive size affords a far greater level of detail than previous iterations. When fully assembled, the side of the Sail Barge can be lowered to reveal a cutaway profile of the interior, featuring the cockpit, prison cells, armory, kitchen, and a throne for Jabba himself.
This set includes exclusive minifigs of some of the biggest names in Star Wars, like Princess Leia, C-3PO, Jabba the Hutt, and R2-D2. I’m particularly delighted to see lesser known minifigs included, like Bib Fortuna, Kithaba, Vizam, Wooof, the Gamorrean Guard, Salacious Crumb, and Max Rebo.
