LEGO Star Wars Tantive IV (75244) Official Announcement!
Star Wars Celebration in Chicago is off to a great start and what better way to celebrate than to announce the latest LEGO Star Wars D2C which is the LEGO Star Wars Tantive IV (75244)!
This would be the third iteration of the infamous blockade runner which is the first encountered in the opening scene of “A New Hope”.
The set clocks in at 1768 pcs which makes it the ‘largest’ LEGO Tantive IV in terms of element count and comes with five minifigures that includes: Bail Organa, Princess Leia, Captain Antilles, C-3PO, a Rebel Fleet Trooper and an R2-D2 droid figure.
While this does not have the Ultimate Collectors Series (UCS) or Master Builder Series (MBS) label, it is primarily a play-set with quite a few play features thrown in.
This is essentially a re-release of the LEGO Star Wars Tantive IV (10198) 10th Anniversary Edition which features the same roster of minifigures save for Bail Organa. The interiors and exteriors are the same albeit with updated elements and stylings which make it more “screen authentic”.
The LEGO Star Wars Tantive IV (75244) will retail at SGD349.90 / US $199.99 / CA $269.99 / DE €199.99 / UK £179.99 / FR €219.99 / DK 1799DKK / AUD $329.99 and has a street date of May 3rd.
It is interesting to note that this iteration of the LEGO Tantive IV is the largest of the three in terms of piece count but it looks smaller compared to its (10019) UCS counterpart which has only 21pcs more.
