First glimpsed in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and now featuring in a story arc in Marvel's Darth Vader comic books, this imposing edifice has been given the LEGO treatment in 1,060 pieces.
This set is an Amazon exclusive and is going to start taking pre-orders from October 4th and will cost US$129.99. There is currently no word if it will be available through LEGO.com but it is expected that it will be. A release date has not been announced - expect to have this confirmed via Amazon when their pre-order page goes live.
Boasting a hanger and a midi-scale TIE Advanced, a holocron chamber, a weapons store, bacta tank, meditation chamber with a micro hologrammatic Emperor and a gunner's station, Darth Vader's retreat is an estimated 17" (43 cm) tall!
As a special treat the set comes with not one but two Darth Vader minifigs - one in his black armour and new one that clearly needs a long soak in a hot tub of bacta - a pair of Royal Guards and an Imperial Transport Pilot. This last minifig is also a new one and comes from a character only seen in the immersive
Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire VR experience which is currently touring the US now.
You can view the grand reveal on the
The Star Wars Show channel on Youtube. Expect to see more of this set - and other LEGO coverage - in our New York ComicCon reportage.
