Article Summary

  • LEGO unveils a new Star Wars: The Force Awakens set featuring the beloved BB-8 astromech droid.
  • The buildable BB-8 stands over 3.5 inches tall and includes 569 pieces for detailed recreation.
  • Features include a spinning head, opening hatch with “thumbs-up” burner, and an info plaque.
  • The set arrives January 1, 2026, priced at $89.99, and includes a standard BB-8 minifigure.

BB-8 is the energetic, loyal, and resourceful spherical astromech droid that was introduced in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. He serves as Poe Dameron's trusted companion and quickly became a fan favorite character in the sequel trilogy. Unlike earlier astromechs like R2-D2, BB-8 has a gyroscopic body that allows it to move faster across terrain with impressive speed. In the sequel trilogy, BB-8 plays a crucial role in delivering part of the map leading to locating Luke Skywalker. This iconic astromech is returning to LEGO with a new impressive Star Wars set that comes with 569 pieces. 

Standing over 3.5" tall, this adorable set features a buildable BB-8 that captures his details and designs from The Force Awakens. He will have a spinning head and an opening hatch that shows off his "burner" thumbs up emote. A standard-sized BB-8 minifigure will also be included with the set, along with a plaque that shows off stats about the lovable Star Wars droid. Pre-orders are not live, but this BB-8 set is expected to arrive on January 1, 2026, for $89.99.
