If you’re in the market for an awesome Valentine’s gift for the Dune fan in your life, LEGO is offering its first ever true discount on the LEGO Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter. The set includes the dragonfly-like helicopter, as well as eight minifigures including Paul and Leto Atreides, Chani, Lady Jessica, Gurney Halleck, Liet Kynes, Duncan Idaho, and Baron Harkonnen.
The discount, while not overly impressive, is the first price cut we’ve seen on the set. The Ornithopter was released just last year alongside Dune: Part 2 hitting theaters and has been sitting at full price pretty much since launch.

Includes 1,369 pieces and eight minifigures.
The LEGO Ornithopter is based on the design from Denis Villeneuve’s Dune films and features a whopping 1,369 pieces. The set launched back in February 2024 for $164.99 and has only dipped in price a few times since launch. The current discount puts the price lower than it’s ever been, making it a great time to buy it if you’ve been waiting to pull the trigger.
The Ornithopter itself lets you fold the wings in and out, so you can display it in any position you’d like. You can also retract the landing feet and rear ramp if you want it to appear docked. The additional character minifigures the set comes with are also quite delightful. Perhaps the most impressive is the Baron Harkonnen figure, which comes with his long robe and towers well above all of the other figures.
Are there any other LEGO Dune sets?
So far, the Ornithopter set is the only LEGO Dune option available for purchase. However, it’s possible there will be additional vehicles, characters, and locations that will be released alongside Dune: Part 3 when it comes out in 2026. The Dune books also contain plenty of details that could potentially become additional sets. If you like the look and feel of the Ornithopter, there are plenty of Star Wars LEGO sets that are just as awesome.
