LEGO expands large-scale minifigure line with complex Darth Vader build

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The LEGO Group is expanding its line of large-scale minifigure builds, with the Darth Vader set being the most complex to date. This 1,028-piece set, retailing for $99.99, features a more technical construction process starting from the legs and includes improvements like a fixed gap between the legs and soft-locking positions. The success of these larger minifigures, including previous releases like Harry Potter and Hermione Granger, presents a significant business opportunity for LEGO to create more display-worthy, iconic builds for fans of all ages.
