Back in October, LEGO announced its first ever set inspired by Frank Herbert's Dune series, and it comes straight out of Denis Villeneuve's new film adaptation starring Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides. Not surprisingly, the inspiration for the first set is the Atreides Royal Ornithopter with its flapping dragonfly-style blades.
The LEGO Icons Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter (10327) set is a 1,369-piece build that features blades that can flap and retract with a 180-degree rotation. It also features foldable landing gear and eight all-new LEGO Minifigures of Paul Atreides, Lady Jessica, Gurney Halleck, Chani, Leto Atreides, Liet Kynes, Duncan Idaho and Baron Harkonnen. As you can see from the close-up below, that Baron Harkonnen minifig makes this set worth it all by itself.
