Lego is preparing to unleash one of its most ambitious Star Wars sets to date — a massive Ultimate Collector Series (UCS) Death Star that will push both size and budget to new heights.

This upcoming behemoth is said to contain 9,023 pieces, making it one of the largest and most intricate Lego Star Wars builds ever created. The set is expected to dwarf the scale of previous Death Star models, offering a staggering level of detail both inside and out. Word on the street is that this gargantuan build could debut later in 2025 with a $999.99 price tag, making it one of the most expensive LEGO set ever released.

Early images and descriptions suggest that the design won’t be a fully enclosed sphere. Instead, fans can expect an open, modular structure that reveals iconic interior scenes from the movies, all while maintaining an imposing display silhouette. The model is rumored to feature an enormous cast of minifigures, bringing together heroes, villains, and troopers from across the Star Wars saga.

All this scale and detail comes at a cost — quite literally. The UCS Death Star is set to carry a premium price tag that could make it one of Lego’s most expensive sets to date. For collectors and Star Wars superfans, however, this is shaping up to be a centrepiece worthy of the investment.

The set is slated for release on October 1, 2025, lining up perfectly with the holiday shopping season — and giving builders plenty of time to clear space for its arrival.
