Ask us for an iconic sci-fi scene and we'd come up with the crew dinner from Alien, Roy Batty's farewell for Blade Runner and Darth Vader's entrance in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Lego hasn't got around to those first two, but this Lego Star Wars: A New Hope Boarding the Tantive IV recreates that stand-out Star Wars moment.
It's awesome to look at, but you can also use the action features to fling figures into the air and even recreate the scene where he Force-chokes Captain Antilles in the air, thanks to a see-through block.
The set includes six Episode IV characters - Darth Vader, 2 Stormtroopers, 2 Rebel Fleet Troopers, Captain Antilles. But it also bundles in Arc Clone Trooper Fives and while he may be a little out of place, it's still a cool bonus to have.
Rated for builders aged 8 or above, it's equally suitable as a display diorama or as a playset; features include having Darth Vader blast through the door, launching Storm Troopers and Rebels into the air. The only way it could be better was if it recreated the whole vessel, Princess Leia included, but that'd push the price far above $43.95.
Key features: Pieces: 500 pieces, Age: 8+, Size: 8cm high, 22cm wide, 13cm deep, Minifigures: seven.
