The LEGO Star Wars theme has had a huge 2025, most notably with the release of two Ultimate Collector Series (UCS) sets in 75409 Jango Fett’s Firespray-Class Starship and the 75417 AT-ST Walker. However, in October, the licensed theme will reach new heights, as 75419 UCS Death Star launches as not only the biggest LEGO Star Wars model ever, but also the most expensive LEGO set in history.

Releasing on the 1st October of 2025, this monumental 18+ set will retail at a staggering $999.99 and include a total of 9,019 pieces, breaking multiple LEGO records in the process. Designed as a half-sphere cutaway diorama, the UCS Death Star includes brick-built interpretations of both the battle station’s imposing grey exterior and a fully detailed, Minifigure-packed interior showcasing scenes from across the Original Trilogy and Rogue One.

With an unprecedented 38 Minifigures included, exclusive locations built into its interior, and a compatible TIE Fighter Gift With Purchase build, this UCS model promises to be the most definitive LEGO Death Star yet. In this article, we’ll break down everything you need to know about 75419, from its important details to its action-packed Minifigure lineup and upcoming Gift With Purchase.

The Important Details

As the latest addition to the LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series, 75419 UCS Death Star is set to be one of the largest and most ambitious LEGO Star Wars builds ever released. The 18+ branded model will recreate the Empire’s planet-destroying battle station at a scale far surpassing the previously dicussed play-focused versions seen in 2008 and 2016.

With a total of 9,019 pieces, 75419 will be among the biggest LEGO models of all time. Not only will it be the biggest LEGO Star Wars set yet, but also the most expensive becoming the first $1,000 LEGO set once it releases on the 1st of October 2025. The set will initial remain exclusive to LEGO stores and LEGO Shop@Home for at least the first few months of its release cycle with a livestream reveal taking place on Thursday the 4th of September.

Previous LEGO Death Star Sets

The Death Star has long been a favourite subject for LEGO designers and fans alike, appearing in several forms over the last 20 years. The most iconic have been 2008's 10188 Death Star and 75159 Death Star which was released just under a decade ago in 2016. Both models were large playsets with around 4,000 pieces and over 20 new and returning Minifigures.

However, 75419 represents a major step up. With over double the piece count and nearly twice the Minifigures, this October’s UCS set is the most ambitious Death Star LEGO has ever attempted, aimed exclusively at adults and collectors. This brand new 2025 model also captures a new diorama-like approach compared to the previous iterations, which were designed as “dollhouse-style” builds with open interiors.

Exterior Build

Unlike previous versions of the Death Star, this new UCS version is not a complete sphere. Instead, it is a large-scale diorama built in the shape of a half-sphere cross-section. This design allows the set to show both the exterior of the Death Star and the highly detailed and action-packed interior.

The closed outer side features a textured grey surface and the station's iconic superlaser dish, while the open interior side will act as a cutaway diorama showcasing some of the major scenes from the original trilogy. With its long and narrow shape, the brick-built half sphere can sit flat against a wall or on a shelf, with one side showing the Death Star’s battle station exterior and the other side fully open to the Minifigure-friendly interior.

Interior Build

The interior itself is includes multiple iconic locations from both various Star Wars movies and action packed scenes. These could include the Emperor's throne room, the detention block and prison cells where Leia was rescued, the trash compactor with its signature closing walls, and the main control room.

All of these locations are likely laid out in layers/stacked sections, similar to a dollhouse and previous LEGO Death Star iterations such as 75159 Death Star. Each section, packed with details including control panels, weapons racks, railings, screens, and small brick-built props, are then built into the spherical structure of the giant brick-built Death Star. Since the 18+ model utilises this open cutaway design, we are also able to see each room without having to open or remove any panels.

Minifigure Lineup

The UCS Death Star doesn’t just set records for size as it also includes a record-breaking 38 LEGO Minifigures, the most ever in a LEGO set. These span heroes, villains, troops, and even obscure deep-cut characters. The 38 characters include

• Luke Skywalker (x3): Tatooine robes, Stormtrooper disguise, and Jedi Knight.

• Han Solo (x2): Stormtrooper disguise and classic smuggler outfit.

• Princess Leia, Chewbacca, R2-D2, C-3PO.

• Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, Grand Moff Tarkin.

• Rogue One characters: Director Orson Krennic and Galen Erso.

• Imperial Command: Wulff Yularen, Admiral Motti, General Tagge, Imperial Dignitary.

• Troops & Specialists: Stormtroopers (x6), “Hot Tub Stormtrooper”, Royal Guards (x2), Shuttle Pilot, Crew Members (x2), Gunners (x2), Death Star Troopers (x2), Imperial Naval Officer.

• Unique Droids: 5D6-RA-7 (silver protocol droid) and a black-and-silver Imperial astromech.

Gift With Purchase

To celebrate the launch of 75419 UCS Death Star, LEGO will be releasing an exclusive Gift With Purchase of 40771 TIE Fighter.
