New for Star Wars Day, grab this Lego Star Wars model of The Mandalorian's coolest ship and get the Darksaber for free

As cool as Lego's previous model of The Mandalorian's N-1 starfighter was, this sleek, super-powered vessel deserved better. Now, Lego has stepped up with a UCS version of Mando's starfighter, and it looks fantastic.

Get this Lego UCS The Mandalorian's N-1 Starfighter from Lego from May 4 (or May 1 for Lego insiders).

On top of the expected minifigures of Mando and Grogu, this model is absolutely packed with detail, from the tip of its nose cone to the rear of its overlocked engines. It's so sharp you could stab someone with it, though hopefully that's not why it's rated 18+.

But the best bit? If you're fast enough you'll get a free Lego Star Wars Darksaber set for spending over $160 on Lego Star Wars through Lego's site (this set costs a not-unreasonable $250).

You will have to hurry because, while this set officially launches on May 4, Star Wars day, Lego Insiders (you can join for free) get early access from May 1. We've known previous Gifts With Purchase to run out of stock in a couple of days.

What's not to love about The Mandalorian's N-1 starfighter, put together with the aid of Peli Motto? It looks stunning, is fast enough to leave a pair of X-Wings in the dirt, and has a special seat for Baby Yoda.

Lego has previously put out an N-1 set but it's taken things to the next level with this UCS Lego Star Wars The Mandalorian's N-1 starfighter set. We're not sure where Mando puts his bounties, maybe they dangle behind the vessel, frozen in carbonite, but that's all but irrelevant when a starship is this damn cool.

Made up of 1,809 pieces, the model is 27" (67cm) long and if you watched it being built in The Book of Boba Fett you'll recognise every fin and turbine. Lego has spared no expense in conveying the N-1's detail.

Throw in Lego minifigures of The Mandalorian and Grogu and you've got a ship that, despite its 18+ age rating, deserves to be swooshed around every room in your house.
