We've been waiting years for an official LEGO Nubian Royal Starship, and the next best thing is one UCS set and €10 away.
Following the release of the recent 75442 The Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter last month, the community has been able to get their hands on the latest Ultimate Collector Series set. The new model scales up the ship from its minifigure-scale versions with more detail and drum-lacquered silver pieces.
While the build itself did well in our review, it has served an entirely different purpose to codyaner.bricks on Rebrickable. They've utilised the majority of the 1,809 pieces from the original set to make a minifigure-scale Nubian Royal Starship.

The ship, also known as the sleek chrome spacecraft seen in the prequels, has never been depicted in a physical LEGO model, likely thanks to the sheer number of drum-lacquered elements that would be necessary to do it justice. However, the same was said for The Mandalorian's N-1 Starfighter.
The 2026 UCS set instead opted to cover a significant portion of its exterior with shining pieces, but not all of it. It's an effective tactic, and one that has been replicated for this alternate build. Codyaner.bricks uses that same strategy to recreate the starship, and they've even added a full interior for minifigures.

All you need for this long-awaited LEGO Star Wars model is one copy of 75442 The Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter, the €9.99 instructions on Rebrickable and some matching prequel trilogy minifigures.
You'll have the original set's minifigures left over, of which you can take a closer look at in our in-depth review. 75442 The Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter is available now for £229.99 / $249.99 / €249.99.
