Hasbro later reused the original 1978 Kenner molds in 1995, adding updated details and a more advanced paint job.

First released in 1978, Kenner’s low-cost Land Speeder was a faithful replica of the film prop, featuring a simple yet effective suspension system that made it appear to hover. Released as one of Kenner’s first vehicles, it was available from 1978 to 1980. A 1978 "Special Offer" version included free R2-D2 and C-3PO figures with a yellow box sticker, and the "LP" logo on the packaging was removed in 1979.



In 1984, the Land Speeder returned in the "Collectors Series" with minor box updates, including a red-and-yellow starburst. International versions, like those in the U.K. and Australia, featured fixed "hoods" instead of the U.S. toy's movable design.
