Just 24 hours after the announcement of Rey and her Jakku Speeder, Hasbro have confirmed another vehicle release in their 6" Black Series.
Arriving on the 1st September 2017 as part of Force Friday will be this set of Luke Skywalker (Tattooine) and his trust X-34 Landspeeder. The set includes a new head sculpt for Luke, he will also come with the head gear and the poncho that he wears in the early scenes of A New Hope. The macro binoculars, as included in the original 2016 and subsequent 40th Anniversary Release (2017) are also included, as is his light-saber.
The set will retail in the US at $59.99, that will equate to some where in the region of £60 in the UK.
For those attending SDCC 2017, there will be an enhanced release of Luke and the Landspeeder exclusive to the show. The SDCC version will come with added decoration and weathering - something Hasbro couldn't replicate on the standard release due to cost. It will also come with moving parts under the bonnet (hood).
It won't be cheap at $89.99. That is £72 in the UK, but unless a deal is made to distribute internationally you will have to rely on the secondary market which will bump the price - particularly as this will also be a large item to ship
