An epic new set is coming to shelves based on the recent Dune movie. The set is going to be huge, featuring many minifigures and meticulous details. See it for yourself below and read to find out which characters made the cut as minifigures!

Ornithopter Model, Dimensions, and Price
The set is called Lego Icons Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter (10327) and features a model of the named vehicle from the movie. We won’t actually be seeing the set released until February, though, so it will be a little bit of a wait before any of us get to see the set in full detail. When it releases it will be priced at $164.99.
The total piece count of the set is 1,369. With its wings folded out it will measure 31 in. / 79 cm wide, 22 in. / 57 cm long, and 9 in. / 23 cm tall.
The wings of the aircraft will be able to flap and fold-out. The vehicle also features other moveable parts, such as an openable cockpit and moveable landing gear.
Minifigures
Eight characters from the movie made it into this set! These include Baron Harkonnen, in his extremely long robe, Pal Atreides, Lady Jessica, Gurney Halleck, Chani, Leto Atreides, Liet Kynes, and Duncan Idaho.
There’s not a whole lot to say about these minifigures that the pictures don’t already express, but I do think that these minifigures look really well done and detailed. All appear to include accessories and most have printed legs. Some of the capes and armor pieces appear nicely-done as well. One thing that is missing, despite being such a large, highly-detailed, and expensive set, is arm-printing on any of the minifigures.
When this set releases, it’s going to be super cool. It already appears to be built for display and will make an amazing gift for any Dune fan. The model is marked as an Adults set, so it will likely be more difficult to build than many Lego sets—making it a great purchase for an adult Lego fan too.
