Chewbacca

Description

A two-colour set

The most striking thing about this set is how few colours it uses. The catalogue lists only reddish brown and dark bluish grey as main colours, with nothing transparent and nothing bright. Reddish brown leads, and dark bluish grey follows. That is an unusually tight palette for any set, and it makes sorting after a rebuild almost effortless. Reddish brown is also a genuinely useful colour to collect, turning up in tree trunks, furniture, earth and wooden structures in all kinds of builds.

Walking carpet, loyal friend

Chewbacca comes from the forest world of Kashyyyk and spends most of the saga beside Han Solo. He helps rescue Leia from the Death Star in A New Hope, is taken prisoner at Cloud City, and fights alongside the Ewoks on Endor. He is still flying the Falcon in The Force Awakens. In 2018, the year this set appeared, Solo: A Star Wars Story showed how he and Han first met, which made it a big year for Chewie fans.

Parts and build

There are 22 pieces in 11 distinct elements, so on average each element appears twice. The build is short and simple enough for young children. No minifigure is recorded, and the full parts list on this page is the best way to see exactly what goes into the model. It is a small collectable that fits in easily next to other sets from Solo or anything featuring the Millennium Falcon, and it takes up hardly any space.

Matching it to your bricks

All 11 elements are listed here with colour and quantity, so checking a loose copy or rebuilding one from a mixed box takes very little time. Once your collection is saved in Bricoria, What can I build? shows which other sets you could build with what you already own. With only two main colours involved, there is a fair chance you already have most of the parts somewhere in your storage.
