The definition of Frank Herbert’s Dune series may be found in its myriad of sophisticated analogue technology. Of all this tech, ornithopters are arguably the most iconic. Their dragonfly-like movements provide relatively safe passage over the treacherous sands of the desert planet Arrakis and are a key pillar of the House Atreides “desert power.”
Their rhythmic undulations are no longer a thing of science fiction with the release of LEGO® Icons 10327 Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter. While the hefty set doesn’t fly, it doesn’t let down fans who have long yearned to see ‘thopter wings move in complex reality. With an overview of the sand-skipping ornithopter’s parts and minifigures completed, New Elementary swoops in again for a look at this fascinating set’s build and functions.
