654 pieces, $79.99, and a piece of Star Wars history most people don’t think about. The Tantive IV is the first ship you ever see on screen, the one carrying the stolen Death Star plans. This midi-scale version (set 75376) tries to capture that in a small footprint. It mostly does. Not perfectly.
What you’re getting
This is a scaled-down version of LEGO’s earlier Master Builder Series Tantive IV, built to be small enough for a shelf that doesn’t have room for a giant ship. That’s the appeal here. It’s compact, it’s affordable, and it still captures a lot of the ship’s shape and detail.
The engine section is the strongest part of the build. There’s a satisfying bit of Technic work holding it together, and once it clicks into place the ship looks good from every angle, top to bottom. The stand is more securely bolted in than some of LEGO’s other display stands, though that also makes it harder to pull the model off when you want to.
Where it falls short
The proportions are the sticking point. The nose section is noticeably too small compared to the rest of the body, and if you’ve seen the bigger Master Builder version, this one reads as a little off. There are also a handful of stickers on curved pieces, always fiddly to line up straight, and the set includes no minifigures at all.
Two small Easter eggs worth knowing about: one of the missing escape pods on the hull references the droids’ escape in the movie, and there’s a gray brick on one engine that looks like a nod to the ship getting hit by Vader’s Star Destroyer at the start of A New Hope.
The Reseller’s Take
- Retail: $79.99. 654 pieces. Released March 2024.
- Secondary market: already up around +68% since release, though most of that reflects a low retail price rather than strong long-term demand. Annualized growth is a more modest +4.6%.
My call: SKIP for investment, fine for the shelf. This is a display piece for Star Wars fans who want the Tantive IV in a small footprint, not a flip candidate. No minifigures and a midi-scale build cap its resale ceiling. If you love the ship and want it small, buy it and enjoy it. If you’re buying to sell, your money works harder elsewhere in this wave, the Millennium Falcon from the same series is a better value at a similar price.
Invest score: 4/10. Good display piece, weak flip.
Bottom line
A fun, quick build with real Star Wars pedigree, but the proportions keep it from being a great one. Buy it if the Tantive IV means something to you. Skip it if you’re shopping with resale in mind.
