More Lego BD-1 leaks give us a peek at the droid, but something is missing
More Lego BD-1 leaks have snuck their way onto social media, and this time we have our first look at the set itself. However, Cal Kestis isn't included.
Following a report revealing Lego BD-1 earlier in 2022, it seemed likely that we'd get a full unveiling in time for Star Wars Celebration this weekend - but that curtain drop seems to have come a bit early. Originally leaked by 1414falconfan (opens in new tab) on Instagram, a clearer image has since been offered by dylanchow (opens in new tab) (they blame Walmart for the better look at Lego BD-1, but we weren't able to find the listing on the retailer ourselves). This proves that the droid's Jedi master doesn't make an appearance in the set; a minifigure version of BD-1 can be found within the box instead.

Much like previous character kits such as the Lego RD-D2 set, this is a more detailed version of the droid with more screen-accurate dimensions thanks to its 1,062 pieces. Aside from being fully posable, Lego BD-1 is also a fair bit more fragile thanks to antenna on the head and wiring across the legs. That would suggest it's more of a display piece than a toy, so it's likely to cost a similar amount to Lego Baby Yoda (which has a similar number of parts and an MSRP of $79.99 via the official Lego store (opens in new tab)). Although other Lego droids have carried a bigger price tag in the past, this one doesn't seem quite as complicated. Equally, it's more complex than the cheaper $69.99 Lego D-O, so will probably fall somewhere north of that cost.
Either way, we should find out soon - now that it's in the open, an official announcement can't be far behind. Until then, you can keep yourself busy
