The LEGO Group has recently launched a new series of Star Wars sets to celebrate their 25-year partnership with the iconic franchise. Among the five new models released, fans can expect a special collection that includes a unique model, a representation of the very first scene from the Star Wars series, and bonus minifigures marking the 25th anniversary. LEGO Star Wars enthusiasts will definitely find something to love in this latest collection.
These new sets, including Boarding The Tantive IV (75387), R2-D2 (75379), Millennium Falcon (75375), Tantive IV (75376), and Invisible Hand (75377), are now available for purchase both online at LEGO.com and at physical stores starting from March 1st.

Millennium Falcon (75375)
The Millennium Falcon set (75375) comes with 921 pieces and is priced at $84.99. It is recommended for ages 18 and above. This set does not include any minifigures.
The Tantive IV (75376)
Introducing the Tantive IV (75376), another addition to LEGO's midi-scale ships collection. This iconic starship is known for its role in the Star Wars universe, specifically in the opening scene of A New Hope. The Tantive IV comes with its own stand and is a perfect display piece for fans of the franchise. Compared to larger LEGO starship models, this midi-scale version offers a more budget-friendly option for collectors and enthusiasts.
Another midi-scale model, the Tantive IV (75376) features 654 pieces and is priced at $79.99. This set is a replica of Princess Leia's iconic ship and will be released on March 1st. It will showcase the exterior of the ship, while another set will explore the interior. Collectors may be interested in getting both sets to display them side by side, as the Tantive IV was the first ship ever seen in the Star Wars galaxy.
Invisible Hand (75377)
The Invisible Hand set has 557 pieces and is priced at $49.99. It does not come with any minifigures and is recommended for ages 18 and up.
The third midi-scale ship release is Revenge of the Sith's Invisible Hand which was featured during the Battle of Coruscant. An exciting LEGO Star Wars prequel set, The Invisible Hand belonged to General Grievous and served as his Separatist flagship. Coming in at 557 pieces, this is the very same cruiser that Anakin Skywalker piloted to the planet's surface even after the ship had been torn in two during the mission to save Chancellor Palpatine. As such, the model is built to be split into two different sections as well.
R2-D2 (75379)
While the new version of the iconic astromech droid R2-D2 is smaller in scale compared to 2021's model (75308), it is also more budget-friendly with a price of $100, a significant drop from the previous $240. This set includes a bonus minifigure, Darth Malak, who is part of the 25th-anniversary collection from the Expanded Universe's Knights of the Old Republic. Collectors can look forward to more 25th-anniversary minifigures to be released in 2024.
Boarding The Tantive IV (75387)
Welcome aboard the Tantive IV set! This set includes 502 pieces and is priced at $54.99. It is recommended for builders aged 6 to 8 years old. Let's dive into the details of this exciting set!
The perfect first set to celebrate LEGO Star Wars' 25th anniversary is Boarding the Tantive IV from A New Hope. This model depicts the very first scene of the Star Wars franchise, showing Darth Vader and his stormtroopers breaching the Rebellion ship to recover the stolen Death Star plans. Additionally, the set includes a special 25th-anniversary minifigure of ARC Trooper Fives from The Clone Wars, complete with his unique 501st armor and number 5 forehead tattoo. This interior model complements the Tantive IV midi-scale model beautifully.
