Today we’re getting a first look at another of the upcoming Star Wars line. LEGO Star Wars set 75221 Imperial Landing Craft features the troop carrier landing on Tatooine. It’s a scene not pictured in the films, as Obi-Wan Kenobi and R2-D2 fend off the Imperial Sandtroopers. This is the second LEGO Imperial Land Craft, following a similarly scaled but less accurate version in 2007, 7659 Imperial Landing Craft. The set includes 5 minifigures: a Sandtrooper Squad Leader, Sandtrooper, Imperial Shuttle Pilot, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and R2-D2.
Star Wars 75221 Imperial Landing Craft | $89.99 USD | 636 pieces
Fly with the LEGO® Star Wars Imperial Landing Ferry (75221) to carry reinforcements. Always keep the shooters ready if you encounter resistance. As you arrive at your destination, swing your wings up for a perfect landing. Open the sidewalls, drive off the ramp and let the reinforcements out. Then sit back in the cockpit, close the hatch and fly back to your base!

At this point I think it’s safe to say LEGO is shooting themselves in the foot with their crazy pricing
There was one made before 2007, I think. I remember having one of these as a kid, looked a lot better IMO. The design on this one is really…cut down? And they keep upping the price to brick ratio..
Just gonna day it: this ship is hideous.
I agree with Dave, the price is outrageous. The set doesn’t even look all that much better from the previous version, it really just looks like a “standard update” if you get my meaning. I read that the previous version has synchronised wings so it remains to be seen if this version had that as well.
