Lego is back with another big, beefy Star Wars set and this time its Jabba’s Barge. The desert sea sci-fi yacht, envy of all of Tatooine, features almost 4,000 pieces and comes with a hefty price tag of $500. More expensive than a lot of Lego sets but still not as much as a PS5 Pro.
Lego Insiders get early access (it’s not just for games anymore) to pre-orders on October 3, with the sets available to purchase for everyone else starting on October 6. Jabba’s Barge weighs in at exactly 3,942 pieces and is 31 inches long. It also comes with 11 minifigures, including Jabba himself, a bunch of his alien groupies, as well as Princess Leia, C-3PO, and R2-D2 ready to bartend.
Lego produced a replica of Jabba’s Barge back in the 2000s with set 6210, but that one was a lot smaller at half the length and less than a quarter of the pieces. It was definitely more manageable and a lot cheaper, though. Still, even the new Jabba’s Barge is something of a tiny little guy when compared to some of the biggest Lego sets ever produced, including the $760 Razor Crest, $1,050 AT-AT, and $1,050 Millennium Falcon.
That one weighed in at 7,541 pieces and was a pain to fit on a shelf. Fortunately, Jabba’s Barge looks a bit more manageable in comparison, and the big side doors make it much more conducive to poking around inside and imagining you’re back on Tatooine doing crimes with the Hutts.
