LEGO Star Wars 75414 The Force Burner Snowspeeder revealed!

...I've found the guy who stole Plo's ORIGINAL lightsaber from Jedi Power Battles, as opposed to the blue one he has in 75400...! xD

This...is peak...

Looks good. Still need a proper Snowspeeder at some point though

"I also liked the tan version of the speeder."

The Sandspeeder? Somewhere I have a prototype deco of Galoob’s proposed Action Fleet Sandspeeder, which ultimately never got released.

I think this is my favourite Star Wars set ever. The price is a shame but not unexpected. I'll see if I can get it at a discount.

Fantastic-looking set. Outrageous price.

Is that Cad Bane?

Will we ever get used to paying €45 (and a kidney) for a 350 piece 3 minifig set? Oh and you have to apply your own decals.

I'm not interested in any of the Rebuild the Galaxy models, but the figures all look awesome.

Those look like they might be bright light orange, but I could be wrong (and hope that I am.) It's always tricky to be exact on the colors when we only have a render to look at.

That's all The Lego Movie was for you?

Orange lightsaber — cool!

No, you’re not the only one. I understand the versatility of the new ones, but I definitely liked the shape of the old ones more.

@lego4elio: Literally!!

No way that The Lego Movie is only THAT for you

I think they're bright light orange ??

I'm pretty sure this is the best Star Wars set that has ever existed and ever will exist.

I'm praying that they are not BLO. I need them in yellow for my Seaduck MOC.

Anyone wanting a Darth Bane figure got Monkey's Pawed HARD.

"A top Star Wars gift idea for boys, girls and any fans aged 7 and over..." Nice to see that Lego isn't ignoring nonbinary fans. Anyway, I was tempted, until I saw the price. I haven't even gotten around to picking up 75388 yet, there's no way I'm dropping fifty-five buck on a snowspeeder, even one that looks as cool as this. Final thought: I still maintain that "Sig Greebling" is the greatest Star Wars character name ever.

The new ones can launch both tiles and studs.
The studs were very easy to knock loose on the old ones."

Ah, you’re right! I feel like they’ve been using tiles for so long now that I forgot they could launch studs. Wonder what their reasoning is for including studs vs. tiles in a particular set.

I don't know who Solitus is, but is he wielding Laser-sword-chucks?? I think I want this, but $55 for 349 pcs, ouch...

good set, but ruining a new Jedi robe print - that would be perfect for custom figures - with an unnecessary green scarf which could have been its own piece is so typical of Lego

I like the whole hot rod idea, but when will we see that canopy piece on a real snow speeder.

You. Same answer.

@The1RealmShifter I think he’s a Duros.

@CCC well, this is basically Lego inserting its own characters into a licensed theme.

@ra226 I’m guessing he’s a Lego original, like the other two characters.

Here’s hoping for a blue and trans yellow version of the cockpit piece.

I was not expecting to kinda love this.

I suppose even the SW galaxy requires a take away delivery service.

Give it some hot rod red.

Why have Lego made three different STAP designs in two years?

We had one in 75372 last year, one in 75414, and in the MTT 75435.

I'm reasonably confident it's yellow, based on the lifestyle images. The 1X2 plates with rails behind them appear to be regular orange, and the 1x2 plates above look to be BYO, and you can see the slopes are brighter than both. This could be wrong if my perception of colour is thrown off by any reddish orange, but I don't think they've used any here.

Only one Rebuild the Galaxy set this time round. The three from last year must not have done too well then.

Where is Jackson? He was on the Rebuild the Galaxy season two poster, yet he ain't here!

The sets looks great! I love the Guy Fieri colors. Price is rough as always. And since nobody referenced it, I'll do it here, "Welcome to diners, drive-ins, and divebombs".

I apparently can't afford Star Wars anymore. If we ever do get a Rebel Transport, I now suspect it will be about the size of a womp rat. Sigh.

They still use studs a fair bit (many of this year's Dreamzzz sets, for example). I think the choice often depends on both color availability and whether they want the "ammo" to match other parts in the build. For example, in this set they used trans-orange studs in the build but trans-red tiles for lasers, probably since they wanted to use different colors and by making them different shapes there's less chance of builders mixing up the two.

I'd consider buying this and Jango's slave 1

Lightsaber chucks, yo!

I don’t know, but plates are far more ideal than tiles, because there’s frequently space on the underside of a model where you can store the extra ammo. Tiles, not so much, plus they change the look of the model, and rarely for the better.

$55 for a snowspeeder is insane for the most compact compact evergreen ship, on par with Eta-2s in size and with only Vulture Droids being smaller. 75259 was already pushing it at $40, and that one had a fourth minifig. Hopefully the price is only this ridiculous to offset the upfront cost of the new canopy and the eventual plain one will be cheaper, but this is 2020s Lego Star Wars, so I doubt it.

I still think Rebuild the Galaxy as a product line is a messy concept; I understand historical staples of the line seeming repetitive and thinking that remixing things with goofy concepts would be fun, but the LSW team rarely pulls a Creator or Technic car with having two color options of the same set on shelves at the same time, so it seems like despite the new specialized mold, it'll probably be another year at least before we get a proper modernized playscale snowspeeder. [Granted, if rumors are anything to go by, maybe the Christmas set this year will overlap with a 2026 set... who knows.] That said, ignoring screen-accuracy, having the gunner seat actually be a drop-out speeder bike is pretty cool.

Re: the whole stud shooter debate: the 2.0 stud shooters are definitely easier to use, don't misfire as often, and aren't under tension all the time, which is a definite improvement, but in cases like this it means that the projectile is less customizable - while there are a handful of ways you can try to build unique projectiles that are compatible with existing parts, we can see via the Mario Kart sets that they'd rather make new specialized pieces for variable ammo types. As such, it's regrettable that there's no actual tow cable and hook on this thing.

It's very Blacktron.

You'd be wrong. But it was a dumb idea when they were just swordchucks, and it's an even dumber idea now.

This set would've been perfect if they had included Jaxxon. I suspect we'll never get him, as this seems to be the only Rebuild The Galaxy set for season 2. Such a huge missed opportunity.

They can also launch https://brickset.com/parts/design-24866 So you can have a flower gun, if you want.

I second that emotion.

Well, of course they were a dumb idea, that was the point of them. And it's not like Rebuild the Galaxy isn't aiming for goofy whimsy, either.

We really need that Ewok Bounty Hunter Y-Wing...

I got that reference. I remember a friend of mine making a joke about double-bladed light-sabre chucks, and it still makes me laugh.

New canopy is incredibly accurate - almost too accurate, doesn't look very Lego to me, especially in contrast to all the simple parts used to make this snowspeeder.

@Darth_Dee said:

I second that emotion, too. Not only is the Y-Wing my favorite snubfighter, but Ewoks in snubfighters reminds me of Lieutenant Kettch. Yub yub, Commander.

That is one expensive canopy.

The set is... Very unusual... Also why did the good guy (Sid) team up with the bad guy (Dev)?

@Draykov said:
"That is one expensive canopy. "

...you beat me to it.

Finally a proper Snowspeeder canopy...and it's black. Hopefully light blueish grey coming soon - how could they not?

More yellow cockpits for my Blacktron MOCs

I have no doubt that there will be a gray one coming out before too long. In the meantime, this can be used for Blacktron or (as @Lyichir pointed out) TLBM Batman.

"New Snowspeeder canopy,
How long until we see that piece on a proper Snowspeeder I wonder?"

Probably in 2026 for a TESB version priced £60 :D
