LEGO today revealed a large-scale tie-in set for the upcoming Dune: Part Two directed by Denis Villeneuve, based on the classic sci-fi novel by Frank Herbert. The movie — starring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, and a cast of thousands — is currently scheduled for release in theaters on March 15, 2024, but LEGO Icons 10327 Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter will launch on February 1st, 2024. The set includes 1,369 pieces with 8 minifigures, and is already available for preorder from the LEGO Shop online now at US $164.99 | CAN $214.99 | UK £149.99.

Read on for the full details, including play features and minifigure selection. Make sure to check out the full gallery at the end of the article.

The ornithopter features retractable landing gear, foldable wings, and opening cockpit doors and rear ramp.

The minifigure selection includes (left to right in the image below) Chani, Liet Kynes, Leto Atreides, Gurney Halleck, Lady Jessica, Paul Atreides, Duncan Idaho, and the evil Baron Harkonnen — floating in his long robes. Four of the minifigs include stillsuits, ready for the unforgiving desert environment of Arrakis, although you’ll have to mix and match to give Paul a stillsuit of his own, fitted slip-fashion at the ankles, of course.

Here’s the full product blurb from LEGO, along with all the product photos for you to pore over.
