"Last Week, Lego announced what it calls "one of the most anticipated Lego Star ears sets of all time," a 9,023-piece set recreating Death Star scenes from various Star Wars films. But just as large as the set itself is the price - at a whopping $999.99, it's also the most expensive Lego set ever. Now, at $1000 a pop, you'd be forgiven for expecting Lego to render a famously spherical space station as a sphere."
""$1000 and it's only a cross-section?!?!!" one complains, while another adds, "Lego produces their very first $1000 set and it's ... this. Yikes. You'd think they'd at least create something that could serve as the "crown jewel" of the Lego brand. Instead, it's more of a reflection of what the brand has become. It's clumsy and uninspired." Another succinctly lists the problems with the set: "sticker sheet, no dual-moulded legs, GWP (gift with purchase) is part of the set removed to incentivise impulse purchasing, not even a hemisphere, first $1000 set."
A new 9,023-piece Lego Death Star set is priced at $999.99, making it the most expensive Lego set to date. The set is presented as a flattened cross-section rather than a full sphere, prompting disappointment among fans. Online communities criticized the high cost relative to the design choice and pointed to perceived cost-cutting, including the use of stickers instead of printed pieces. Additional complaints cited missing dual-moulded elements, the removal of a gift-with-purchase to drive impulse buys, and the set not forming a hemisphere. Fan reaction framed the release as uninspired and unrepresentative of a flagship product.
