Today, LEGO has released a brand new set based on the upcoming Disney+ Original series, “Skeleton Crew”, which is scheduled to arrive on the streaming service on December 3rd 2024.
“Skeleton Crew” follows the journey of four kids who make a mysterious discovery on their seemingly safe home planet, then get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. Finding their way home—and meeting unlikely allies and enemies—will be a greater adventure than they ever imagined.

Jon Watts and Christopher Ford are showrunners and executive produce along with Favreau, Filoni, Kennedy and Wilson. Chris Buongiomo, Gilchrist and Beck serve as co-executive producers.

The new set is priced at £124.99 / $139.99 / €139.99 and consists of 1325 pieces.
This new collectable LEGO Star Wars buildable starship toy features rotating engines for landing/takeoff or flight, two stud shooters, two rotating turrets, each with two stud shooters, and a grabbing claw. It has seats for all 5 included LEGO Star Wars characters (the Jod LEGO minifigure in the cockpit and Wim, Fern, KB and Neel in the passenger compartment), plus storage for the four buildable torches and other cargo. There is also a kitchen table and a bed, plus accessory elements, including fruit and a walkie-talkie to inspire creative play.

Roger’s Take: One of the many complaints about recent major Star Wars releases is that Disney seemed to be a little slow in getting some of the merchandise out, but since this show was originally scheduled to be hitting Disney+ last year, this set was ready to roll. The problem with this set is we’ve got no context over the ship or the characters, so I imagine this one is going to sit on shelves for a few months, collecting dust. However, with the series coming to Disney+ in early December, it’ll be there ready for the holiday season for kids and big kids alike!
You’ll find this new “Skeleton Crew” set available at retailers and online at LEGO.com.
