LEGO Unleashes Its Biggest STAR WARS Set Ever with the $1,000 UCS Death Star
LEGO has officially taken aim at your bank account with its newest and most ambitious Star Wars set to date. Say hello to the Ultimate Collector Series Death Star, a mind-blowing 9,023-piece behemoth that doesn’t just build a space station, it builds an experience. With a price tag of $1,000, this isn’t just a model, it’s a commitment.
Standing at a towering 20.6 inches tall and stretching nearly 19 inches wide, the UCS Death Star is LEGO’s largest Star Wars set ever released. But this isn’t just a display piece.
It’s a fully loaded playset packed with detailed diorama-style rooms pulled straight from A New Hope and Return of the Jedi. Whether you want to disable the tractor beam as Obi-Wan, swing across the Death Star chasm as Luke and Leia, or get crushed in the trash compactor, the set brings those legendary moments to life in brick form.
And just when you think LEGO couldn’t possibly cram in more, they throw in Palpatine’s throne room, the Imperial boardroom, and because LEGO loves a good laugh, a secret hot tub room complete with a Hot Tub Stormtrooper.
Included with the set are 38 minifigures, featuring first-time appearances of characters like Galen Erso, an Imperial Dignitary, and that jacuzzi-loving Stormtrooper. Of course, Darth Vader is here too, ready to deliver a brick-built Force choke to your wallet.
The UCS Death Star launches for LEGO Insiders on October 1, with a wide release following on October 4. It’s not cheap, but for hardcore fans and collectors, it’s a galaxy-sized centerpiece worth every Imperial credit.
So yeah, it may cost you a month’s rent or your next vacation, but come on... it's the freaking Death Star.
