The $1,000 LEGO Star Wars Death Star rumoured for later this year is now believed to feature over 9,000 pieces in the latest rumour update.

Late last year, a rumour surfaced online from a reliable source that a $1,000 (or technically $999.99) Ultimate Collector Series Death Star set would be launching in 2025. We originally speculated that, with licensing costs, such a build might be in the range of 8,000 elements. It’s now stated by an anonymous source and cross-posted by the reliable Clay_Bricks that 75419 UCS Death Star will have a staggering 9,019 pieces.

This combines with the last rumour that the Star Wars set would feature around 40 minifigures, which this source believes. It’s claimed to be launching in October and would easily take the crown as the biggest and most expensive LEGO Star Wars set of all time from 75192 Millennium Falcon, with 7,541 elements for $849.99.

Take all of this information with a pinch of salt or two for now, but that part total is more favourable compared to the rumoured $1,000 price tag than other recent Star Wars sets, including 75401 Ahsoka’s Jedi Interceptor with just 290 pieces for $44.99.

For a more direct comparison, 10294 Titanic has 9,090 pieces as one of the biggest LEGO sets of all time, and the rumoured UCS Death Star would certainly be joining that list with 9,019 elements.

With caution on hand, a $1,000 LEGO Star Wars set has a lot of work to do to impress, but it can deliver. Here’s what’s currently rumoured and confirmed for LEGO Star Wars this year.

Buy it, don't unwrap it, and wait a bunch of years, lego and star wars is a good investment.

why? LEGOS are meant to be played with, also is 1000$ for 9k pieces a good ratio?

The cross-section of two fandom, who apparently have infinite money when it comes to their hobby and collections

If it's real this is likely going to have a limited amount available. LEGO collectors and Star Wars collectors go nuts for this stuff. From what I've seen it's very safe to say what Lugum is saying is right on the money.

It is, here we even got unofficial lego stores that also sell old lego stuff, there is a market for it.

Old action figures, Barbies, NES cartridges everything still wrapped in foil and not used tends to be worth much more after x years, although i think most stuff from after 2000 won't be ever worth much anymore as stuff from the 70-90's.

And in the end it's always a gamble, like this actor who got bankrupt investing in beanie babies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgDsyj5eLmo

With the rumours about not being a sphere, but some kind of diorama, like the latest Cloud City was, I am not sure how big will be a demand... 🤔

I'd be more likely to buy that than a gigantic, grey plastic sphere.

Yeah, that's why it is hard to tell how well it will sell... Even not sure if this rumour made me want to buy it more or less...😅 I would have preferred the plastic sphere I think... A nice sphere... Maybe one where you can open the panels and the rooms are hidden... 🤔

I'm pretty sure that for this price you could buy grey bricks in bulk and make like 5 giant Vandervecken starships instead :x

Ten comments on a thread that has "over 9,000" in its title and nobody has made a Dragon Ball Z reference yet? I'm disappointed. :D

I came here to see the reference, so allow me to do the honors. "What does the scouter say about its piece count?" :D
