Star Wars fans can now join the Rebel Alliance in their fight against the dark side, as the iconic A-wing Starfighter from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi joins the LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series.
Film enthusiasts can re-live fond memories of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi by enjoying the construction set’s authentic details, including a new-for-May 2020 A-wing pilot minifigure and removable canopy, which allows builders access to the ship’s detailed cockpit for the first time ever.
This highly detailed 1,673-piece set model also includes pivoting laser cannons, which have been faithfully recreated in LEGO brick form to create the ultimate collector’s item for LEGO brick and Star Wars fans alike.
Launching just in time for May the 4th, the annual Star Wars fan holiday, the #75275 LEGO Ultimate Collector Star Wars A-wing Starfighter construction set measures 10.5” (27cm) high (including display-stand), 16.5” (42cm) long and 10” (26cm) wide and is sure to make a statement in any Star Wars display – whether it’s at home, in the office or in a galaxy far, far away….
In the video below, LEGO Designer Hans Schlömer will show you the set and its features in more detail.

We got standard minifig-scale versions of the A-wing before, like the #7134 LEGO Star Wars A-wing Fighter in 2000, the #6207 LEGO Star Wars A-wing Fighter in 2006, the#75003 LEGO Star Wars A-wing Starfighter in 2013, the #75175 LEGO Star Wars A-wing Starfighter in 2017, and the #75247 LEGO Star Wars Rebel A-wing Starfighter in 2019, plus some micro-versions, but never an Ultimate Collector Series set.

Funny, but while doing my major Spring cleaning I was dusting off my little A-wing fighter I wondered if it might become a UCS model. Glad Ikea sells small “Lack” shelves because I’m gonna need one! 😀
Finally! I always wanted a UCS version of this ship! It looks amazing!
They did a great job with this. The price is kind of high, but I’m sure folks will buy it anyway. Now, where is my stimulus money? 😀
So happy to see this! It’s my favorite ship, and they did a great job!
Yes, an a- wing . I’ve always love this ship. It’s the second most fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy. Lol! It’s also very dangerous to fly , because it does have a lot of protection for battle. It’s fast so it’s hard to catch. Just like the tie fighters. They are great for a lot of hit and run attacks. As you can tell this my favorite ship.😎
The music is too loud in the video, so I can’t hear everything the designer says, but it looks so cool!
I like the UCS sets that aren’t enormous, but just big enough to be highly detailed. The A-wing looks great!
Cool! But is it $200 cool? I’m not sure about that. I rather get a set for that price that’s more than just a display piece. I may change my mind, but with a limited budget, I have to look at sets like this with a critical eye.
Very cool! I generally buy the UCS sets just before they are retired.
I Just don’t have the space to display in my little apartment here in San Francisco. My UCS sets are all still new and sealed. My husband thought I was crazy to buy these giant sets I had no place to display. One day I showed him on line how much they are worth. Funny, he no longer gives me any grief over my LEGO obsession😁
Yep, lego is like the best investment. But make sure you keep the instructions and boxes because that makes used sets worth more. The A-wing looks awesome!
Very sharp looking set. If only I had the room, still have to find a place to store my Ship in a Bottle set.
wow
star wars is always the same, its beauty is always well received
