Attention, men! LEGO has just turned the world of collectible sets upside down with the UCS Death Star Diorama — a set that officially becomes the most expensive in the brand’s history. With 9,023 pieces and a price tag of $999.99, this isn’t just a toy; it’s a temple of nostalgia for Star Wars fans.
This set isn’t simply a globe in the shape of the iconic Death Star. It’s a deep, highly detailed diorama, allowing you to recreate legendary scenes from the original trilogy: from Luke and Leia’s daring swing over the reactor shaft, to the tense lightsaber duel in the Emperor’s throne room, and the infamous trash compactor scene. Every corner of the set is packed with Easter eggs and authentic details, crafted for true fans and collectors.
A standout feature is the 38 minifigures, a record number for a single LEGO set. Included are all the key characters, from Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader to lesser-known Imperial officers. And for fans with a sense of humor — the “Hot Tub Stormtrooper,” a nod to the famous LEGO Star Wars video games.
The set is scheduled for release online on October 4, 2025, with early access for LEGO Insiders starting October 1. For real men and collectors, this set isn’t just a building kit. It’s a chance to touch a legend, showcase your building skills, and experience your own epic Star Wars moment at home.
The price? Yes, $1,000 sounds crazy. But for these intricate details, legendary complexity, and absolute exclusivity, it’s an investment in enjoyment, nostalgia, and status. If you thought building LEGO was just a game, the UCS Death Star will show you that it’s now a true art form.
