Ladies, gentlemen, and fellow Jedi… the Death Star has returned.

The $1,000 Death Star LEGO Set That Rules the Galaxy

And not just any Death Star. This is LEGO’s Ultimate Collector’s Series Death Star is a staggering, awe-inspiring, wallet-draining masterpiece. It’s a model so immense that even Darth Vader himself might struggle to fit it into his meditation chamber. At a galaxy-shaking $999.99, it will, without question, become the crown jewel of any LEGO collection it dares to join.

This Is No Moon. It’s a Titan of LEGO Engineering.

The sheer presence of this thing defies easy description. One moment, you’re imagining it in your hands; the next, you’re realizing you might need an entire room just to display it.

The Galactic Specs:

• Pieces: 9,023 meticulously crafted bricks
• Minifigs: 38 iconic characters from across the saga
• Size: 28” (70 cm) tall x 32” (79 cm) wide x 11” (27 cm) deep
• Age Group: Recommended for ages 18+ (which is LEGO’s nice way of saying “Adults, this one’s for you” 😂)

This isn’t a casual build to pass a weekend! This will be an odyssey. The kind of epic undertaking that will leave you sore-armed, wide-eyed, and smiling with uncontainable pride.

A Launch Worthy of Imperial Celebration

Want to be among the first commanders of this planetary powerhouse? If you’re a LEGO Insider, your chance arrives October 1, 2025. For the rest of the galaxy, doors open October 4, 2025 at the official LEGO Store.

The anticipation isn’t just mere hype. This release has collectors buzzing in every corner of the fandom. And make no mistake, demand will be fierce.

An Army of Legends, Assembling at Your Command

The Death Star wouldn’t be complete without an elite roster aboard, and LEGO has delivered one of the most impressive minifigure lineups in brick history. This set includes:

Heroes of the Rebellion:

• Luke Skywalker (Jedi)
• Luke Skywalker (Stormtrooper disguise)
• Princess Leia Organa
• Han Solo + Han Solo (Stormtrooper disguise)
• Obi-Wan Kenobi
• Chewbacca
• C-3PO
• R2-D2

Defenders of the Empire:

• Darth Vader
• Emperor Palpatine
• Grand Moff Tarkin
• Director Krennic
• Admiral Piett
• General Tagge
• Colonel Yularen
• Imperial Officers
• Imperial Royal Guards (x2)
• Imperial Crew, Gunners, Troopers (including six Stormtroopers)

Special Guest Appearances:

• Imperial Dignitary
• Hot Tub Stormtrooper (The Skywalker Saga nod)
• KX-9A-1
• R2-Q5

It’s the kind of roster that whispers, “Reenact every scene… and then invent your own.” Whether you’re staging tense negotiations in the throne room or unleashing a Stormtrooper spa day, the possibilities are endless.

The Masterstroke: Its Cross-Sectional Heart

Here’s the moment you realize LEGO hasn’t just built a model... they’ve built a story. Instead of a static shell, this Death Star takes a cross-sectional approach. It’s like cracking open the heart of a space station to see the heartbeat of the Empire inside.

Between its armor-plated walls, you’ll find meticulously designed rooms that any Star Wars fan will recognize instantly:

• Vader vs. Obi-Wan Duel Corridor: Relive the defining showdown in eerie silence… or with your own sound effects.
• The Trash Compactor: Nothing tests friendship like a malfunctioning wall bearing down on your crew.
• The Communications Control Room: Where secret transmissions can turn the tide of war.
• The Emperor’s Throne Room: Witness the drama, the betrayals, the lightning crackle of power.
• Princess Leia’s Interrogation Cell: A chilling tribute to the dark side’s intimidation.  

Each section is rendered in painstaking accuracy, so much so that you feel like you’re inside a Star Wars scene — only this time, you’re the director.

A Bonus Fit for a Supreme Commander

As if the Death Star alone weren’t enough, LEGO is sweetening the deal with a freebie worthy of your inner Imperial commander: an Imperial Shuttle with Hangar Rack. It’s the perfect sidekick for your Death Star display — and just enough of a bonus to make your inner child yell, “Yes, we need this.”

Why This Death Star Will Go Down in LEGO Legend

Let’s be honest, LEGO has a history of pulling emotional triggers for fans of all kinds, but this release? This is different.

It’s not just the most expensive LEGO set ever released. It’s more than its monumental brick count or its massive dimensions. This is about ambition. It’s the kind of design that says, “We’re going to push the limits, and you’re going to love it.”

For collectors, it’s a Holy Grail. For builders, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime challenge. And for anyone who’s ever dreamed of commanding the Death Star, it’s a dream materialized in ABS plastic.

It’s also a monument... a testament to LEGO’s unwillingness to settle for mediocrity. If you place this in your collection, it won’t just sit there. It will loom. It will demand attention. And it will remind you of the countless hours you spent constructing your own corner of the galaxy.

The Countdown Has Begun

So here’s the reality: this is the LEGO event collectors have been waiting years for. You’ll need:

1. Space: because this thing will dominate your display area.
2. Patience: the build will be a colossal adventure in its own right.
3. Funds: $999.99 is no pocket change, but for some, it’s a small price for galactic supremacy.

Come October 2025, the question won’t be, “Is the Death Star worth it?” Instead, it’ll be *“Where can I put it... and how fast can I start building?”

Your Move, Commander

Will you rise to the challenge? Will you take command of the mightiest LEGO creation in history? Or will you watch from afar as others complete their fully operational battle stations?

One thing’s for sure, this is more than a set. It’s a statement. And like the Death Star itself, it will be remembered long after the dust of the galaxy has settled. For more information, head over to LEGO's official website.

Mark your star charts:

• Oct. 1, 2025: LEGO Insider access
• Oct. 4, 2025: Available galaxy-wide

The time to decide is now. After all, opportunities like this don’t orbit twice.

The galaxy of LEGO fandom is in awe.
Whispers spread through the Outer Brick Rim of a new SUPERWEAPON in the making — the largest and most ambitious construction set ever forged by human hands.

At a cost of 999.99 REPUBLIC CREDITS, only the most dedicated builders will dare assemble this powerful force. Soon, on October 2025, THE DEATH STAR WILL RISE…
