LEGO Star Wars set 10212 “Imperial Shuttle” represents the Imperial shuttle in the Ultimate Collector Series. Released in 2010, it contains 2503 pieces and belongs to the Star Wars theme as a detailed display-oriented build.
Set 10212 “Imperial Shuttle” depicts an Imperial vehicle from the Star Wars license. Its placement in the Ultimate Collector Series identifies it as a larger, more display-focused interpretation rather than a compact play set within the same theme.
The build uses 2503 pieces and focuses on the shuttle’s distinctive profile, with a central body and side wing assemblies.
This set is mainly suited to LEGO Star Wars collectors who want an Imperial subject for display. The included minifigures add character context and play potential, but the Ultimate Collector Series classification places it among the theme’s models intended primarily for presentation and collection.
