"Officially known as ( deep breath) the LEGO® Star Wars™ Death Star™ - Ultimate Collector Series (75419), this new Death Star set is nearly 2 feet tall and over a foot wide. The big diorama contains over 9,000 Lego pieces and an astonishing 38 Star Wars minifigs. Yowza, that's a lot of characters! Lego even tossed in a Stormtrooper wearing swimtrunks as a nod to the Lego Star Wars games and the famous hot tub Easter Egg."
"The large set contains multiple rooms that are each based on moments from the movies. It is a bit weird to see the famous trash compactor scene from A New Hope recreated in the same Death Star build that features Luke and Darth Vader fighting in the throne room from Return of the Jedi. I'll just ignore these discrepancies and enjoy the massive set for what it is: A cool assortment of famous Star Wars moments contained inside a very expensive collection of plastic bricks."
"If you are a Lego Insider member, you'll be able to order the Death Star set starting on October 1. Everyone else has to wait until October 4. And if you buy the set before October 8, you'll get a Lego Star Wars TIE Fighter set as an additional gift with purchase. The TIE Fighter can be built and slotted into the Death Star set."
LEGO will release the Star Wars Death Star — Ultimate Collector Series (75419) at a $1,000 price point, the most expensive set in company history. The diorama measures nearly two feet tall and over one foot wide, contains more than 9,000 pieces, and includes 38 minifigures such as Darth Vader, Chewbacca, The Emperor, Wulf Yularen, multiple versions of Luke Skywalker, and a Stormtrooper in swimtrunks. The build features multiple rooms recreating film moments, including the trash compactor and throne room duel, combined within a single model. LEGO Insider orders begin October 1, general sales start October 4, and purchases before October 8 include a buildable TIE Fighter gift.
