With the final LEGO Star Wars set of 2024 of 75397 Jabba's Sail Barge hitting shelves in just a few days time, our attention quickly turns to next year. Just like 2024, 2025 is likely to include another three 18+ D2Cs with our first one being the annual Star Wars Day D2C which is rumoured to be 75409 UCS Jango Fett's Starship. The 18+ model currently has an unknown piece count but will retail for $239.99 / €239.99 / £TBC once it releases on the 1st of May 2025.
Last year's May The Fourth D2C was another Ultimate Collector Series model of 75382 TIE Interceptor. This retailed for $10 less but most of the 'smaller' UCS LEGO Star Wars sets are around that $240 price tag. From these previous UCS models we can also assume that 75409, even though not confirmed, will likely have a piece count around 2,000 along with two exclusive Minifigures.
Thanks to Instagram user maxbautde we already know the identity of both of these exclusive Minifigures included alongside the brick built Slave I. Obviously, being the Starship that belongs to Jango Fett, Jango Fett is included along with his son Boba Fett. The Jango Fett Minifigure is the most detailed so far with arm and leg printing whilst the young Boba Fett Minifigure will come with either small or medium sized legs.
The last LEGO Slave I dates back almost 10 years ago to 2015 with 75060 Slave I. When on shelves, the 14+ model retailed for $199.99 with a total of 1,996 pieces suggesting a slightly larger and detailed build when 75409 releases on the 1st of May 2025. Another difference is that this 2015 previous version was based on Star Wars Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back whilst our new UCS model for 2025 is based on the second installement of Star Wars.
The last prequal version of the Slave 1 is over twenty years old so we can expect a very updated version of Jango Fett's Starship. Specifically designed pieces for the likes of the cockpit and the rest of the starships curvature and its rotatable wings are likely to be included. The cockpit should eb easily accessible and the main feature of the ships interior but we can also expect a loading bay and plenty of areas for storage.
Plenty of stud shooters and other simple shooting play features are also likely to be included as part of the Starship. Like every UCS model, some sort of black stand will be included to display 75409 UCS Jango Fett's Starship along with a printed UCS information plaque for that $240 price tag.
