Here’s a first review of LEGO Star Wars 40451 Tatooine Homestead

An early review of this year’s

May the Fourth promo set 40451 Tatooine Homestead has landed online, just hours after it was officially revealed.

Hoth Bricks is the

Fan Media that’s come through with a first look at the 217-piece microscale diorama, which recreates the opening scenes of : A New Hope across the sweeping sands of Tatooine. As well as the Lars family homestead – as indicated by the set’s title – the model also includes tiny representations of hallmarks like Luke’s Landspeeder and the Sandcrawler.

Will at Hoth Bricks is full of praise for 40451 Tatooine Homestead, comparing it to the subdued, sleek displays of 40333 Battle of Hoth and 40362 Battle of Endor (rather than the ‘cluttered’

).
