LEGO’s first Star Wars wave of 2027 is aimed mostly at adults with wall space and a soft spot for the original trilogy. Seven new sets are due in early January, ranging from a $39.99 lightsaber duel to a $299.99 brick-built version of one of the most recognisable film posters ever printed.
The headline set is the A New Hope Movie Poster (75467), arriving January 4. It recreates the classic one-sheet artwork, with Luke and Leia posed in front of R2-D2 and C-3PO, and Vader’s helmet and the Death Star filling the background. Layered bricks give the image some physical depth, so it should look more like a relief sculpture than a flat mosaic. At $299.99, it is clearly meant as a display piece for collectors rather than a casual impulse buy.
The Darth Vader 2-in-1 Wall Art (75466) is the more accessible option at $69.99. The same parts build either a half-lit Vader helmet bathed in red or a lightsaber composition with “I am your father” lettered across it. It can hang on a wall or stand on a shelf using a built-in stand, and it includes a tiny Empire Strikes Back poster tile as a bonus. The two-builds-in-one-box approach is a smart move as LEGO’s wall art range keeps growing, since it lets owners refresh a display without buying another set.
The $99.99 Up-Scaled Luke Skywalker Minifigure (75482) continues LEGO’s line of oversized minifigures, this time with Luke in his orange X-wing pilot gear, helmet and blaster. Early buyers also get a limited-release Princess Leia minifigure based on Ralph McQuarrie’s pre-production concept art. That ties in with the $79.99 Stormtrooper (Concept Art) Helmet, which also draws on the franchise’s earliest design work.
The rest of the wave covers more familiar ground. There is a $79.99 Rebel Y-Wing Starfighter, a $79.99 Duel on Bespin, and the $39.99 Mustafar Duel, which is the only prequel-era set in the lineup.
All seven sets have listings on the official LEGO store but can’t be preordered there yet. Amazon is already taking preorders for the Darth Vader 2-in-1 Wall Art and the Up-Scaled Luke Skywalker. Every set except the poster lands on January 1.
The heavy focus on the original trilogy is no surprise, with May 2027 marking 50 years since the first Star Wars film hit cinemas. If January is anything to go by, LEGO’s anniversary year is likely to bring plenty more classic-trilogy sets, and probably higher prices, as it goes on.
