The Lego Group has now officially announced a brand new Star Wars set that fans can get their hands on. This time you can get an Ultimate Collector Series (UCS) set of the original trilogy A-wing Star Fighter.

The UCS A-wing Starfighter will be released in North America on May 1st, 2020 for a recommended retail price of $199.99. The set comes with one minifigure as well as a total of 1672 pieces.
