LEGO has just taken the wraps off three sets based on the upcoming Pixar movie Lightyear. Slated to release in June, the film is a prequel of sorts to Toy Story and follows the adventures of a young Buzz Lightyear. The three-set wave features two regular sets, with Buzz’s 76832 XL-15 Spaceship (US $49.99 | CAN $64.99 | UK £44.99) clearly targeting an older market with a UCS-style info placard on the display stand, plus one 4+ set aimed at younger builders. As is often the case with movie tie-in sets, all three will be available well ahead of the movie’s release, starting April 24.
The movie’s director, Angus MacLane, a well-known LEGO fan and creator of the LEGO Ideas Wall-E set submission, is clearly excited about the film’s LEGO tie-ins, tweeting this earlier today:
As an AFOL, I really wanted some new transparent yellow canopies. So I figured I’d make a movie that would require them. SPACE! #Lightyear #LEGO https://t.co/U56t9zLqai

SPACESHIP! Omg Lego is going to get so much of my $ this year…. (90th anniv. castle, Optimus Prime, who knows what else)
I am going to pickup the spaceship. I love the design and the helmet looks really good.
Angus MacLane is my new hero.
Angus M, what a come up and a hero to the online community. That dark tan helmet and those other three figs look epic
Most likely getting them all @ the same time when they hit the shelves. If only for the epic minifigs.
