Lego adds Jabba the Hutt's sailing barge to the UCS collection
20-9-2024
Translation: machine translated
Lego Star Wars is launching a new edition of Jabba's sailing barge on the market. The UCS set should make collectors' hearts beat faster, not least because of the minifigures.
Jabba's sailing barge makes its grand entrance in "Return of the Jedi": On the Khetanna (as the vessel is called), Jabba the Hutt, with slave Leia in tow, wants to watch as his henchmen push Luke Skywalker into the Sarlacc Pit. What happens next is film history.
The set
Assembled, the sailing barque with its awnings and movable flaps is not only impressive from the outside. The side panels are removable and thus provide access to decorated interior spaces such as a kitchen.
The price is hot - or rather high
The UCS set will be officially available from 6 October 2024, initially exclusively from Lego. In our shop, the sales start date is currently listed as 1 January 2025. If you want to be one of the first buyers, you will have to dig deep into your wallet: The price at the start of sales is 500 euros or 529 francs. Quite a lot, in my opinion.
You can find cheaper, but also more expensive alternatives from the Lego Star Wars galaxy in our shop. With more than 400 items, you're sure to find what you're looking for. Who knows, maybe you'll soon be recreating the scene from "Return of the Jedi" with the desert skiff and the Sarlacc pit. Without a sailing barge, but with more money in your wallet.
