Name: Desert Skiff\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Condition: Sealed<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rating: 9.0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product Description\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

LEGO Star Wars Desert Skiff (9496)<\/strong> was released in 2012 and recreates the dramatic escape above the Great Pit of Carkoon<\/strong> from Star Wars: Episode VI \u2013 Return of the Jedi<\/em>. With 213 pieces<\/strong>, this retired set captures one of the Original Trilogy\u2019s most memorable Tatooine scenes.<\/p>\n

The set features the distinctive Desert Skiff<\/strong>, complete with movable elements, a storage compartment and a retractable plank ready for prisoners to face the fearsome Sarlacc below. The accompanying Sarlacc Pit<\/strong> features an opening mouth, teeth and tentacles, making it perfect for recreating the battle involving Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Boba Fett.<\/p>\n

One of the highlights of set 9496 is its excellent minifigure selection. It includes Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Boba Fett and Kithaba<\/strong>, giving collectors several highly recognisable characters from Jabba the Hutt\u2019s entourage and the Rebel heroes.<\/p>\n

The inclusion of Boba Fett<\/strong> adds particular appeal for Star Wars minifigure collectors, while the Sarlacc and skiff make the set an excellent companion to larger Jabba-themed sets.<\/p>\n

Now retired, Desert Skiff 9496<\/strong> is a fantastic collectible for fans of Return of the Jedi<\/em>. Its memorable characters, classic Tatooine setting and strong display potential make it an excellent addition to any LEGO Star Wars Original Trilogy collection<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
