LEGO has officially unveiled the heavily rumored LEGO Star Wars Death Star set. It’s an enormous build, comprised of 9,023 pieces, and it comes with a whopping 38 minifigures. The price might be jaw-dropping as well, as it comes in at $999.99, making it the most expensive set you can buy. It will be available October 1 for LEGO Insiders (sign up free here) and October 4 for everyone else.
The official name for the set is LEGO Star Wars Death Star – Ultimate Collector Series (75419). It’s not the full sphere-shaped build you may be expecting, either, but roughly one half of the Death Star. The flat portion is open, revealing a cross-section of the ultimate space weapon.
Set number: 75419Age: 18+Pieces: 9,023Dimensions: over 20.6 in. (52.3 cm) high, 18.9 in. (48.0 cm) wide, and 15.1 in. (38.3 cm) deepPrice: 999.99 EUR / 899.99 GBP / 999.99 USD
In the many rooms that comprise the build, you’ll find tons of references to the original Star Wars film trilogy. There’s the garbage compactor room where our heroes get stuck in A New Hope. There’s the room where Vader strikes down Obi Wan, and the communications hub where Han Solo, in Stormtrooper-armor, has a too-casual conversation with a superior officer.
Then there’s the conference room with the table where Vader and his commanders discuss the blowing up of planets. And the Emperor’s throne room, where Luke and Darth Vader have their final battle in Return of the Jedi. In other words, it’s a packed Death Star.
Among the 32 minifigures included in the set are Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, along with Stormtrooper-armored alternates. There’s Princess Leia, R2-D2, C-3PO, Chewbacca, and Obi Wan. There’s the Emperor and Darth Vader, along with various commanders, two Red Guard, six Stormtroopers, and more. You can see the full lineup in below.
