Lego just blasted fan expectations with the release of their most expensive Star Wars set ever: the Ultimate Collector Series Death Star (set 75419), retailing for a jaw-dropping $999.99 (or $1,000 in some regions). This epic build dropped for Lego Insiders on October 1 and went public on October 4, 2025, making it the priciest set in Lego’s entire lineup—not just Star Wars. With 9,023 pieces, 38 minifigures, and dimensions topping 28 inches tall and 32 inches wide, this Death Star is now the largest—and coolest—starship Lego has ever designed.
What sets this collector’s masterpiece apart? For the first time, the Death Star is designed as a dramatic cross-sectional display, opening up to reveal detailed rooms straight from the movies: Emperor Palpatine’s throne room, Leia’s prison cell, the infamous garbage compactor, and even a cheeky stormtrooper in a hot tub—plus, iconic scenes from both A New Hope and Return of the Jedi. Beyond the size and details, the 38 included minifigures mark a new Lego record, spanning all your favorite heroes and villains.
What Do You Actually Get—and Is It Worth the Hype?
- 9,023 pieces: The largest Lego Star Wars set ever, though not quite the highest overall piece count (the World Map takes that crown).
- 38 minifigures: The most ever packed into a single Lego set, with everyone from Luke (Jedi and Stormtrooper disguise) to Darth Vader, Han Solo, Leia, Palpatine, and rare characters like Galen Erso.
- Epic Size: The finished build stands 28 inches (70 cm) tall and 32 inches (79 cm) wide—serious display piece energy.
- Movie Magic: Key scenes are recreated in brick, including Vader vs. Obi-Wan, Imperial conference room, shuttle hangar, and more. The half-globe cross-section makes posing minifigures and reliving movie moments easier than ever.
- Early Access Perks: Lego Insiders got first dibs from October 1-3, while public sales kicked off October 4 on lego.com and select retailers.
