LEGO Reveals $1,000 UCS Death Star, Its Largest Star Wars Set to Date

A cross‑sectional design underscores LEGO’s adult‑collector strategy by pairing Insiders early access with a first‑week gift incentive.

Overview

  • LEGO confirmed the Ultimate Collector Series Death Star (75419) at 9,023 pieces for $999.99, the company’s most expensive set and the largest Star Wars build so far.
  • The model is a vertical slice diorama rather than a full sphere, showcasing scenes such as the trash compactor, detention block, superlaser controls, and an Imperial shuttle hangar.
  • A record 38 minifigures cover the original trilogy and Rogue One, adding characters like Director Orson Krennic and Galen Erso, plus an Easter‑egg “hot tub” stormtrooper.
  • LEGO Insiders get early access on October 1, with general sales starting October 4 via LEGO stores and LEGO.com, and a TIE Fighter with Imperial Hangar Rack gift is available October 1–7 while supplies last.
  • By piece count the set ranks among LEGO’s largest ever, trailing the World Map, Eiffel Tower, Titanic, and Colosseum.
