Lego Star Wars UCS Death Star (9,023 pieces)

The Lego Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series Death Star is currently accessible for Lego Insiders. Officially revealed in early September, the 9,023-piece UCS Death Star 75419 stands as the largest Star Wars set ever created. With the Superlaser fully charged, this colossal display model is primed to empty your wallet. Priced at $1,000, the Death Star is the priciest Lego set in history. However, it does come with an exclusive bonus set for a limited duration.

The TIE Fighter and Imperial Hangar Rack purchase bonus is available until October 7. The Death Star will be accessible to all consumers on October 4, but if you intend to acquire it, you might as well enroll in Lego’s free Insiders rewards program, allowing you to buy it early (and collect many rewards points).

The UCS Death Star is inspired by its original design from Episode IV: A New Hope. Similar to all contemporary UCS constructions, this set emphasizes intricate details. It’s a remarkably complex model showcasing numerous iconic rooms that fans will recognize immediately. Some of the interactive and adjustable features comprise a functioning elevator, the trash compactor, the Superlaser, and a brick-built Imperial Shuttle with adjustable wings.

Lego made sure you can recreate the Death Star scenes from Episode IV by including 36 minifigures and two Lego droid figures. It’s likely unnecessary to mention, but no Lego set has ever included 38 figures.

There’s ample space inside the Death Star for all of those figures (and beyond). Once completely put together, the UCS Death Star measures 27.5 inches in height, 31 inches in width, and 10.5 inches in depth.

Examine the UCS Death Star more closely below. If you’re not keen on spending $1,000 on a Lego Star Wars set this holiday period, consider the adorably designed Gingerbread AT-AT Walker, which is priced at merely $60 and features Darth Vader holding a candy cane.

Freebie: TIE Fighter with Imperial Hangar Rack (40771)

The TIE Fighter can be showcased on the Death Star’s hangar wall. In addition to the starfighter and rack, the 236-piece kit comprises a service cart and three minifigures: two Stormtroopers and one TIE Pilot. This bonus is exclusively available with the acquisition of the UCS Death Star from October 1-7.

The new Death Star is the first in the Lego Star Wars collection since 2008.

This marks Lego’s third version of the Death Star, yet comparing it to earlier models is challenging due to the significant increase in detail and complexity within the UCS category–and Lego as a whole–over the years. For reference, UCS Death Star 10143 was released in 2005 as a 3,449-piece model, while UCS Death Star 10188 debuted in 2008 with 3,803 pieces. Thus, it has been approximately 15 years since a UCS Death Star was sold by authorized retailers.

Death Star compared to other UCS Star Wars models.

The Death Star is one of nine Ultimate Collector Series Star Wars sets currently in production. It is the third to be released in 2025. Jango Fett’s Firespray-Class Starship was launched in May for $300. Contrarily, the UCS set that debuted in August differs drastically from the Death Star concerning piece count and price. The 1,513-piece AT-ST Walker model is priced at “just” $200. Indeed, you could acquire five UCS AT-ST Walkers for the same price as one Death Star.

Before the Death Star, the UCS Millennium Falcon and AT-AT Walker sets were the most costly at $850. The AT-AT Walker has been retired, but Han Solo’s iconic freighter vessel remains available. With the addition of the Death Star, the Millennium Falcon ranks as the second-largest UCS build with 7,541 pieces. The difference between first and second place is 1,482 pieces–almost a complete AT-ST Walker model.

We’ve organized the nine current UCS Star Wars models from the least to the most expensive. Note: The X-Wing Starfighter and Razor Crest are nearing retirement alongside many other beloved Lego Star Wars sets.
