If you’re bummed about Dune: Part Two being delayed until March 15th, 2024, Lego’s latest Icons set might be the ideal fix to tide you over. The Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter — a 1,369-piece replica of the Imperium’s favored flapping flying machine — is now available to preorder for $164.99, with a release date set for February 1st, 2024.
The Atreides Royal Ornithopter set comes with Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet), Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson), Gurney Halleck (Josh Brolin), Chani (Zendaya), Leto Atreides (Oscar Isaac), Liet-Kynes (Sharon Duncan-Brewster), and Duncan Idaho (Jason Momoa), none of which should have an issue fitting inside the model.
The eighth “mini figurine” — Baron Vladimir Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgård) — is donning the same laughably long robe as his movie counterpart, making him roughly four times taller than the other figurines. I can’t decide if his proportions bring me joy or immense discomfort. It’s truly a Lego set that follows Frank Herbert’s vision.
Hurray for a space set that is not just another Star Wars X-Wing, Death Star, Millenium Falcon, etc.

I gotta see that Baron minifig head to head against Lord Business.
decent looking set, price is more than I’d pay, even with 8 unique figs. maybe I missed it in the article, but are there other sets coming? this is the type of set I’d get if I really wanted only the build or the minifigs, and so sell the other to offset the cost.
Very strange set. Also not a fan of non-standard pieces like those helicopter blades.
Ol Vladdy looks just a wee bit excessive
