Rey's Speeder

Description

A vehicle made from scrap

The Force Awakens introduces Rey as a scavenger, living alone and trading parts stripped from crashed Imperial ships. Her speeder is a bulky, home-made contraption, fitting for someone who has had to build everything herself. It carries her and her finds between the wrecks and the trading post. That rough, practical character is what makes it memorable, and it also makes the speeder a nice contrast to the sleek fighters and walkers found in most Star Wars ranges.

Warm tones from the desert

Dark red and dark orange top the colour list, with black and light bluish grey behind them. That is an unusual balance for a Star Wars set, where greys tend to dominate. The earthy shades reflect the sand and rust of Jakku. For your parts collection, the dark red and dark orange pieces are the valuable ones, as they are harder to come by in bulk and work well for weathered buildings, desert vehicles or autumn scenes in your own models.

Build and parts at a glance

Set 911727 contains 35 pieces across 20 different elements, so the build rarely repeats itself. It takes only a few minutes, yet each step adds something new, which keeps it interesting for children and adults alike. No minifigures are included, so Rey herself would have to come from another set. On this page you can view the full parts list with colours and quantities, handy for checking a used copy or rebuilding it from loose bricks.

Finding room for it

Because it is so small, the speeder fits easily beside larger sequel-trilogy ships or on a desk where bigger models would be in the way. It also works as a splash of colour in a shelf that is otherwise all grey and black. If you store your sets in the collection feature, the What can I build? tool will show which other models your parts already cover, and the warm-toned pieces from this set may help complete more of them than you expect.
