LEGO Tatooine Mini-build set shown off before launch

LEGO will be introducing a new Star Wars set in the near future, another joining its already expansive set of Star Wars offerings. This one is a mini build set, meaning it won't come with too many parts (it's not exactly tiny, though, with more than 100 pieces) and is small in nature, but will nicely complement some existing LEGO creations. It is the Tatooine Mini-build playset, and we have now got some looks at the build, showing exactly what fans can expect when it arrives.

The LEGO Tatooine Mini-build playset features a total of 178 pieces, including so-called "micro figures", which are smaller than the mini figs and are just blocks (shown in the image below). The figures are supposed to be a couple of Jawas, R2-D2, Luke Skywalker, and C3PO.

Joining them all is a proper C3PO minifig as well as a little Sandcrawler and a Landspeeder. You won't get a ton of detail in the set, considering how small it is, but it'll cost $40 when it launches.

In case you haven't noticed, the world is abuzz with Star Wars news right now, and we've been following it all the while. Be sure to hit up our Star Wars tag portal for all the latest and greatest news, as well as the timeline below for some of the newest looks at the franchise.
