One of the series of sets that get all Lego Star Wars fans excited is the USC or Ultimate Collectors Series, over the Last few years collectors have enjoyed USC models of the millennium Falcon, a walking AT-AT and of course the Death Star. This year see's the release of the Lego Imperial Shuttle USC and I have to admit that this Lego set truly is stunning, with an attention to detail that will blow you away.
This Star Wars ship was first featured in Return of the Jedi and is used to transport the Empire's elite across the galaxy. The stoic elegance of the Imperial Shuttle stands apart from the beasty construction of other Imperial crafts; this Lambda-Class shuttle was put into service for both cargo and passenger transportation...but it's a known fact that all too often, the craft was used to ship a secret strike team of Rebel Commandos across the galaxy!
Featuring a trihedral foil design, the Ship has three wings; two articulated flanking wings and a stationary center foil. When in transit, the side wings fold out for greater stabilisation and when landing, the ship's wings fold in; this streamlines the Imperial Shuttle's silhouette, creating a sleek and modern shape.
