Summary
Legohas been creating sets for all different ages, abilities, and bank accounts for decades with options from $10 to hundreds of dollars to choose from. However, if the latest rumors about its plans for 2025 are true, by this time next year it will have released its most expensive Lego set to date,a $1,000 replica of the Death Star.
Falconbricksshared details over the weekend that Lego appears to be planninga new USC Death Star 2set and that it will likely bereleased on June 09, 2025. Other than a potential release date, the only other concrete detail from the leak is that the set is expected to costa whopping $999.99.
If that price ends up being accurate, then I believe it will be the most expensive Lego set ever. Lego has come close to hitting the $1,000 threshold and the two sets in joint first as it stands are both from its Star Wars collection.The Millennium FalconandAT-AT setscost $849.99 each and the former is currently available to backorder at Lego. The AT-AT set is unfortunately out of stock.
Star Wars sets make up half ofthe top ten list of most expensive Lego setslisted on its store right now. Being a Lego-building Star Wars fan can get pretty pricey.
Lego Is Rumored To Be Working On A Massive Death Star
Not The One Below, That’s One Of Its Retired Death Star Sets
Since the price and release date are all we know for now, it’s unclear exactly how many pieces this presumably pretty massive Lego set is going to cost. However, we can have an educated guess based on the piece count of the $850 sets mentioned above.The AT-AT is 6,785 pieces, whilethe Millennium Falcon clocks in at 7,541. You’d think for an additional $150, Lego’s new Death Star is going to be made up of 8,000 pieces, at least.
With so much stuff from a galaxy far, far away turned into Lego already, you’d have also thought the Death Star would have been a Lego set before now, and well, it has. Lego originally released a Death Star 2 set in 2005. It was just shy of 3,500 pieces and cost $300. It’s possible the new Death Star could be framed as a 20th-anniversary set, and I’m assuming it will be far more elaborate than its predecessor.
Lego has packed 2024 with new Star Wars sets since this year marks 25 years since the release of its first-ever team-up with the franchise. Witha $500 Lego replica of Jabba’s sail bargepart of its many releases across the last 12 months, if there is a $1,000 Death Star coming, it makes a lot of sense to give it some breathing room and save it until October.
