Overview

• The set goes on sale to LEGO Insiders from October 1–3, with general availability beginning October 4 and a limited TIE Fighter gift offered through October 7 for early purchasers.
• At 9,023 pieces and roughly 28 inches tall by 32 inches wide and about 11 inches deep, it ranks among LEGO’s largest and is the company’s most expensive set at $999.99.
• The model presents the Death Star as a flat‑back, vertical cross‑section that displays multiple interior scenes at once rather than a spherical build.
• LEGO’s materials highlight 38 minifigures including Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Darth Vader, Obi‑Wan Kenobi and Emperor Palpatine, alongside droids and Imperial troops.
• Coverage notes strong fan criticism of the $1,000 price, the cross‑section approach and the use of stickers, with additional scrutiny of the limited gift‑with‑purchase promotion.
