Over the years, Lego has gone from Gotham to Hogwarts for its licensed sets, but at long last, Arrakis is in the spotlight. A planet where the spice must always flow, you can celebrate the next chapter in the Dune saga with a highly detailed replica of the Atreides Royal Ornithopter. Preorders are now live for the $165 Lego Dune set, which will be released on February 1, 2024. At the time of writing, Target is selling the set for $150, but it's possible this is a price error.
