With SDCC and Star Wars Celebration cancelled, we are still getting details on products that had already been commissioned or produced for those shows. Unofficial images for the LEGO Star Wars Bespin Duel set (#75294) have been floating around the internet for the last few weeks, but earlier today the set’s instructions were found on LEGO.com, along with the first official images which we can now share.
The set celebrates the 40th anniversary of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back by depicting the pivotal reveal scene featuring Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker on Cloud City. The 18+ set has 294-pieces, and the inventory reveals that the two included minifigures are not exclusive to the set. Darth Vader also appears in Death Star Final Duel (#75291) released earlier today (August 1st), whilst the Luke Skywalker minifigure has appeared previously only in Betrayal on Bespin (#75222). You can download the instructions from here.
It is believed that the set will be made available at retail in North America and Europe; it is currently listed as out-of-stock at Toys ‘R’ Us in Canada for CA $49.94. We will share news of its availability as soon as we hear.
