There are now images of some LEGO Star Wars 2018 sets that have started appearing in stores here in the US. These sets were found at a Target in Texas and it’s kind of surprising that they are already being sold. The first set is a Sandspeeder (75204) which contains 278 pieces. It’s similar to the T-47 Snowspeeders but with slight changes including the color swap. The other set is a limited edition LEGO Star Wars BrickHeadz featuring Rey & Kylo Ren (41489). This set is a Target exclusive that contains both BrickHeadz which you can also get individually as well.
Thanks to everyone who emailed in about it the past few days but I was waiting for confirmation.

So it’s a snowspeeder but tan?
This movie is looking more and more like it’s another rehash of an earlier movie.
Well, honestly, it might not be from The Last Jedi. It could just be a 2018 Star Wars set unaffiliated with the latest movie.
But yeah if it is from The Last Jedi that’s not a good sign.
It’s possible that it’s going to be related to the Solo movie since that’s mid 2018. I’m just more expecting it to be for the Last Jedi because we already have information that there’s a sand planet with AT-ATs, so logic would lead me to believe that it’s going to be related to that.
Agreed. I’m hoping not, but totally possible.
It’s not from TLJ. 100% certain.
Why would a modified ship design make this a rehash? People are acting that the real military doesnt have variations of the same vehicle type which are used in different environments. Would you guys never want to see another Star Destroyer variation?
It’s more the lack of evolution to the theme of the movie. If the First Order is going to have AT-ATs and the Resistance is going to use sandspeeders against them, again, that’s sorta disappointing. We’ve already seen that battle. If the thing on the back is supposed to be a grapple, we already know what you do with that against an AT-AT.
Episode 7 was already clearly similar to Episode 4, and I don’t want Episode 8 to just be a thematic representation of Episode 5.
We’ve already see x-wings and smaller ships battling around larger capitol ships like Star Destroyers. We’ve already seen lightsaber fights. That’s all going to happen again, but if you are primed to cry “rehash” over every logical similarity you’ll never enjoy another SW movie.
Calm down…the cover art displays a crashed Star Destroyer in a sand desert and on the right is the gate, similar to Niima Outpost’s.
Ever heard of the battle of Jakuu? This might be totally unrelated to “The Last Jedi”
Is it known if the sandspeeder set pertains to the sequel trilogy, the Solo film, or a Lego original show?
No.
Anybody get the DPCI codes so we can check our local Target’s inventory?
not at my Target yet…. a dcpi would be nice, if I had that, maybe get a helpful worker to pull it out to the sales floor
Pro strategy. Bring your attractive girlfriend who also likes Lego to flirt with the young employees for new sets. This has gotten us early sets a few times.
😛 would have other plans 😉
many moons ago………when ROTJ had just about run it course….Kenner was trying to come up with concepts to keep Star Wars going. one such idea was a sandspeeder. now i have no clue whether or not this is in an upcoming movie, cartoon, or just a fun design based on those old concepts.
also…the ”snowspeeder” isnt a snowspeeder. the alliance was having trouble ”adapting them to the cold.” they were airspeeders….T47 airspeeders.
Before they got bought and eventually absorbed by Hasbro, Galoob had a SW license that they used with their existing Micro Machines line, and which they created their Action Fleet line for. I collected all that stuff, and was a regular on their website’s public forums. They regularly ran contests, and I won at least four prizes in them. Probably the best prize I received was a sand-camo T-47. Ironically, towards the end of that line, when they’d largely run out of vehicles to make, they started making repaints based on concept art. I think only two ever got released (there was definitely a second A-Wing), but the “Sandspeeder” was at least in the running at one point.
I quite like the sandspeeder in a goofy sort of way – but it does make me think of megabloks for some reason… or a snowspeeder that has been left on a windowsill for a couple of years!
Hi
This is probably from the battle of Jaku. Maybey well see it in Battlefront 2?
