LEGO® Anakin's Podracer - 20th Anniversary Edition

Anakin's Podracer 75258 is a 2019 release that marked the 20th anniversary of LEGO® Star Wars, rebuilding one of the most distinctive vehicles from „Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace“. At 279 pieces it is a compact model, but it still fits three minifigures into the podrace scene from Tatooine. Two long engine pods connected by a narrow cockpit give the set its unmistakable silhouette.

Description

A 20th-anniversary release

This version of the podracer was released in 2019 to mark two decades of LEGO Star Wars sets, sitting alongside several other 20th-anniversary reissues of vehicles from the earlier films. Rather than a brand-new design, it reinterprets the podracer with 279 pieces and 99 unique parts, built around the same engines-and-cockpit layout fans of the film will recognise immediately. For anyone collecting anniversary-edition sets, this one covers the prequel era, complementing the Clone Wars and original-trilogy vehicles released the same year. The build itself stays compact, so it fits easily next to larger Tatooine dioramas on a shelf.

Two engines, one narrow cockpit

The model's structure is its most eye-catching feature: two separate turbine-style engines, built mostly in Dark Bluish Grey and Light Bluish Grey, are joined to a small blue-and-black cockpit by long connecting struts. That construction leaves the engines visually floating apart from the pilot seat, matching the look of the vehicle on screen. Small greebled details along the engines add texture without pushing the piece count up, which keeps the finished model light and easy to display without extra stands or supports.

Three figures from the podrace

The set includes three minifigures: young Anakin Skywalker in his racing outfit, his rival Sebulba, and a Pit Droid of the kind seen servicing racers in the pits during the race. Together they cover the main characters of the podrace sequence from Episode I, so the set works both as a standalone scene and as an addition to a wider Tatooine or prequel-era collection. Three figures is a solid count for a set of this size, and each one adds a distinct silhouette to the shelf.

Colours and parts on this page

Colour-wise, the podracer leans on Dark Bluish Grey and Light Bluish Grey for the bulk of the engines, with black on struts and small elements and blue picked out on the cockpit. That restrained, mechanical palette fits a vehicle that is meant to look improvised and race-worn rather than polished. The full parts list on this page breaks every piece down by colour, which is useful for checking what a missing part looks like or for planning a similar build from spares.
