I’ve been a big fan of what LEGO has done with Star Wars sets as of late which includes the incredible Cloud City set. Today, LEGO Group has unveiled another set to go with it which highlights Darth Vader’s castle. Perfect timing, I might add, due to writer Charles Soule’s current story arc focusing on Darth Vader building the castle in the comic book series.
The 1,060 piece building set runs at a cheap $129.99 in the United States and comes with five minifigures: Darth Vader, Darth Vader (Bacta Tank), two Royal Guards and an Imperial Transport Pilot. Starting tomorrow (October 4), fans can pre-order their own exclusively from Amazon.com. The set which retails for $129.99 will be available in time for the holidays.
For all the details read the press release below.
