I think that LEGO could easily have incorporated spring-loaded shooters into the wing’s bases where the actual blaster cannons are. My only other complaint is the stud shooters, which the designers simply slapped on the sides of the cockpit. The pilot is new in this set.Īside from my earlier complaint about the wings, which is easily remedied, I actually think this is a pretty decent set, and similar to the latest X-wing and TIE Fighter we recently reviewed here on TBB, the proportions, and the finished details are quite accurate to the source material, and the price is fairly reasonable for a set with 660 pieces. This version of Luke has appeared in four other sets. The third minifig is the shuttle’s Imperial pilot. Luke comes with his calm Jedi-focused expression, as well as the one you see if you’re a Sith lord and you bring up his sister. Darth Vader comes with the now-standard 2 part helmet, to re-enact the scene when Luke lets his father see him with his own eyes if the set included a boarding ramp. The set includes 3 minifigs and a pair of wrist manacles to re-enact what could be the most awkward father-son ride in history. The mechanism includes a 1×2 rubber part that holds just enough tension to keep from slipping open while holding it, and I wiggled it a lot, but even when the model was finished, the connection held. This LEGO set has 937 pieces and had a RRP of 99.99 (£79.99 / 99.99) which equates to a price per piece of 0.11c (0.09p / 0.11). Now we come to a surprising part of the model, which seems at first glance to be simply a Technic frame for the typically large dorsal fin to attach to, but turns out to be both a handle for picking up the finished shuttle and a mechanism to flip open the top gaining access to the passenger compartment. The Imperial Shuttle Tydirium (75094-1) is a LEGO Star Wars set that was released in June 2015 and retired in December 2016 with a shelf life of 1 year and 7 months. Also, the absence of even a single printed or stickered control panel makes one wonder if the pilot is force-sensitive, as there is no other way for him to actually pilot the shuttle. One other thing to note is that the way the top of the canopy attaches to the bottom leaves a very noticeable gap when viewed from the side. The canopy attaches at the front and tilts back to form the iconic angled cockpit. I guess Lord Vader will have to be more patient with him since there’s no co-pilot to take over after watching his boss get force-chocked for scratching the paint job. Next, we begin adding the lower portion of the cockpit, which unlike previous versions of the shuttle only seats a single minifig pilot. There are 2 sturdy click hinges facing out on each side which will attach to the wings later. There’s also an opening access hatch, opening centre section with space for more minifigures and 2 cool spring-loaded shooters to fend off any pursuing Imperial starships! Includes 5 minifigures with assorted weapons: Han Solo in Endor outfit, Princess Leia in Endor outfit, Chewbacca and 2 Endor Rebel Troopers.The model starts off with the main body of the shuttle and we get a few relatively new parts an upward bracket plate with two studs facing out, and some 1×1 Technic axle bricks which first appeared in the new 75300 Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing set. As featured in the exciting scenes leading up to the destruction of the Empire’s second Death Star in Star Wars™: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, this impressive LEGO® Star Wars starship features folding wings for flight and landing modes, retractable landing gear and an opening cockpit with space for 2 minifigures. Board the stolen Imperial Shuttle Tydirium, set the wings for flying mode and race to Endor with Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca and the Endor Rebel Troopers.
