Ahead of Star Wars Day on May 4, LEGO teased the launch of the newest member of the Ultimate Collector Series, The Mandalorian's N-1 Starfighter. The 1,809-piece model recreates the sleek, silver-hulled spacecraft with what LEGO described as "advanced building techniques" and Drum Lacquered silver pieces. The set includes Mando and Grogu minifigures and an adjustable stand with dual orientation. So, you can decide whether to display its profile or a head-on view for an "action-ready stance."

Starting today, May 1, the set will be available for LEGO Insiders, while everyone else can pick it up starting May 4. It retails for $349.99 in Canada.
