Earlier today, early listings on Amazon Singapore gave us a first glimpse at the highly anticipated LEGO Star Wars 2026 Busts. These new 18+ display models mark a shift from the previous Helmet Collection, offering a more comprehensive look at the franchise’s most iconic characters.
The Dark Lord Returns: LEGO Star Wars 75439 Darth Vader Bust
The centerpiece of this new wave is undoubtedly the Darth Vader Bust (75439). While fans have previously enjoyed the Darth Vader Helmet (75304), this new iteration expands the silhouette to include the top section of his life-support chest armor and shoulders.
- Set Number: 75439
- Piece Count: 349
- Price: $59.99 / €59.99
- Release Date: May 1, 2026 (Expected)
The set utilizes advanced SNOT (Studs Not On Top) techniques to achieve a sleek, polished finish that captures the menacing presence of the Sith Lord. Unlike the previous helmets, this model includes a more substantial display base and a printed nameplate, making it a premium choice for collectors.
Wisdom in Bricks: LEGO Star Wars 75438 Yoda Bust
Joining the Sith Lord is the legendary Jedi Master. The Yoda Bust (75438) offers a unique take on the character, focusing on his expressive face and Jedi robes.
- Set Number: 75438
- Price: $49.99 / €49.99
- Release Date: May 1, 2026 (Expected)
Reports suggest that while Yoda has fewer pieces than Vader, the build is incredibly dense, using specialized elements to recreate his weathered appearance and pointed ears. This set is designed to sit perfectly alongside the Vader bust, creating a “Light vs. Dark” display for Star Wars fans.
A New Direction for 18+ Collectors
The introduction of the LEGO Star Wars 2026 Busts suggests that LEGO is moving toward a format similar to the recent Marvel busts. This transition allows for more character variety beyond those who wear helmets, potentially opening the door for future sets featuring characters like Darth Maul, General Grievous, or even C-3PO.
These sets are expected to officially launch on May 1, 2026, just in time for the annual “May the 4th” celebrations. With the Amazon listings now live, official images and a reveal from the LEGO Group are likely just around the corner.
