On Thursday, Lego unveiled its latest creation: the Ultimate Death Star, a “galactic icon reimagined.” With a $1,000 price tag, fans may need the Force to bring it home. Towering in both scale and price, it cements its place as one of Lego’s most ambitious sets yet.
The Death Star now ranks among the company’s largest builds , joining the Art World Map (11,000 pieces), the Eiffel Tower, (10,001 pieces) and the Titanic (9,090 pieces). With 9,023 pieces, a record-breaking roster of 38 minifigures and a weight of nearly 17 pounds, the set is designed to catch the eye of collectors and builders, Lego detailed in the set’s premiere video . At $999.99, it also claims the title of Lego’s most expensive model yet.
