Go toe to toe with Emperor Zurg in the new Lego Lightyear sets

New Lego Lightyear sets have just been revealed ahead of the Pixar movie's release this year. Featuring Buzz's spaceship, a robot cat, and a battle with Emperor Zurg, the kits are due to launch April 24, 2022. They're available for pre-order now.

Headlining this wave of Lego Lightyear sets is the XL-15 Spaceship, available for $49.99 from the official Lego store or £44.99 if you're based in the UK. Putting a spotlight on the craft seen throughout the movie's trailers, it includes a removable fuel cell to go with Buzz in his flight suit, Sox the robot cat, Darby (who apparently has a rocket launcher called 'Mr Boom'?!), and MD. 

Next up is the Zurg Battle kit, which you can pre-order for $29.99 direct from Lego or £24.99 in the UK (other retailers will likely be available soon). This one includes Zurg as a giant "robot mech toy with movable arms and legs" to fight Buzz and Izzy, who have blasters that fire studs or plastic lasers. Apparently their mission is to stop Zurg from stealing the XL-15's fuel cell.

Finally, there's the cheapest kit of the new Lego Lightyear sets - Zyclops Chase. Retailing at $19.99 or £17.99 direct from Lego, it includes a mech with disc shooters to battle Izzy and Buzz.

All three kits will hit shelves alongside the best Lego sets in just a few weeks. Until then, you can keep up with the latest on the movie by watching the new Lightyear trailer from the Oscars.
