The Lambda-class Imperial Shuttle is the ship Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine travel in. In Return of the Jedi, the Rebels steal one, the Tydirium, to sneak onto Endor.
LEGO has made 7 Imperial Shuttle sets since 2001: six versions of the Lambda-class shuttle, from the 2001 original to the UCS 10212 and the new 75459 from The Mandalorian, plus Director Krennic’s Delta-class shuttle from Rogue One. Each one is below, with pieces, minifigures and original prices. The smaller versions, including minis, polybags and magazine builds, are listed at the end.
