Although a blurry image showed up on Instagram a couple of weeks ago, no official word of the first polybag for the new year had been released until today.
30654 X-Wing Starfighter
This marks the fourth official mini-scale design for the X-wing Starfighter based on the Original Trilogy. This polybag also features the 40th Anniversary logo for Return of the Jedi just like 75347 TIE Bomber. While we know some of the other rumored sets will likely carry this logo, it suggests that more Episode VI sets may be coming and fill in some of the unknowns for later in the year.
The past two years have featured one polybag each. Unless another polybag is released later in the year, it is looking like the trend will continue. It’s also highly likely that the polybag will be a gift-with-purchase for May 4th.
The 87-piece polybag is expected to sell for $4.99 consistent with previous years.
