I was very excited to see Star Wars Snowspeeder 75144 set on
sale at LEGO.com. I think it is somewhat
rare for Lego to mark an Ultimate Collector Series (UCS) on sale so I quickly ordered
one for myself as a long-term investment.
This is a true Star Wars classic, the T-47 Snowspeeder, and it should do
well after it retires. The Snowspeeder
is from Star Wars Episode V The Empire Strikes Back. Due to its sheer size of the set, there’s
much details you expect to see such as opening airbrakes, rotating rear gun,
and an opening cockpit. The set also
comes with two minifigures, a Rebel Snowspeeder Pilot and a Rebel Snowspeeder
Gunner. Lastly, it comes with a Snowspeeder stand with fact plaque for
display.
This set was
first released on May 4, 2017 at $199.99 retail price. LEGO.com has it on sale at $159.99, $40
discount. For those who has some VIP
points to spend, this would be your opportunity to bring the final price down
even further. You can visit Jay’sBrick Blog for a detailed review of this set.
