"Dune: Part Two" is one of the best movies of 2024 and it actually makes the first "Dune" movie from director Denis Villeneuve even better. So it only makes sense that the Lego set inspired by one of the franchise's signature vehicles is one of the best building brick vehicles they've ever produced.
The Lego "Dune" Atreides Royal Ornithopter set brings the aerial vehicle to life with incredible engineering and an impressive wingspan. Lego Designer Michael Psiaki developed it for over a year before getting in touch with Warner Bros. Pictures about releasing the Lego set, which then allowed him to collaborate with production designer Patrice Vermette to ensure that the Lego vehicle was as accurate as possible in building brick form.
Lego sent over their "Dune" Ornithopter set for us to build ourselves, and with a 31-inch wingspan and deployable landing gear, this Lego set was significantly more challenging to build than I originally anticipated.

You may not have expected that Denis Villeneuve’s Dune would cross over to the world of Lego, but here we are. The company has announced the Lego Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter set, which lovingly recreates the iconic flying vehicle in all its glory, but it’s the Minifigures you’ll really want; one in particular.
Included with the Lego Ornithopter set are eight Dune Minifigures, including Paul Atreides, Lady Jessica, Gurney Halleck, Chani, Leto Atreides, Liet Kynes, Duncan Idaho, and Baron Harkonnen, who is just glorious in his ultra-long robe. Seriously, check him out!
Just amazing. I love it. The Ornithopter set consists of 1,369 pieces and features features fold-out, flappable wings, deployable landing gear and an opening cockpit. You can check out a few images below.

When it comes to Lego and pop culture, of course there are endless sets inspired by "Star Wars," "Harry Potter," and the comics and movies of Marvel. But soon, the building brick company will bring us a dash of desert power with a Lego set inspired by Denis Villeneuve's acclaimed adaptation of the classic novel "Dune."
Today, Lego announced that February 2024 will see the release of the Lego "Dune" Atreides Royal Ornithopter building brick set, and as part of the Lego Icons line-up, it's clearly not meant for the usual younger builders that the company often caters to with its merchandise. The 1,369-piece set allows "Dune" fans to "recreate the dynamic dragonfly-inspired design of an Ornithopter like never before, with functional blades on the aircraft that can flap and retract with a 180-degree rotation."
