LEGO's New Star Wars Darth Vader Set for June Is Already on Backorder, But Target Has It In Stock Today

All of the new LEGO releases for June are now available to buy, and there's a lot to choose from this time around. Unlike last month, however, there are surprisingly few new Star Wars sets to choose from. In fact, there are only two: The Up-Scaled Darth Vader Minifigure and the Imperial Remnant AT-AT Driver Helmet. Despite a smaller selection for June, one of these sets is already so popular the LEGO Store that it's hit backorder status on day one. The giant Darth Vader Minifigure is available to purchase, but it won't ship out for another 60 days when purchased directly from LEGO. If you want to get it faster than that, though, Target has stock available right now with a much shorter shipping window. It's not hard to see what makes this set so popular. Many of the best Star Wars sets include a Darth Vader minifigure, but this is the first time we've gotten the option to build a much larger display model. This giant minifigure doesn't have quite the same range of motion as its smaller counterpart, but is actually made up of over 1,000 pieces and stands just over 11 inches tall. The right arm can only be attached in a couple of fixed positions to hold the lightsaber, but beyond that
