LEGO enthusiasts and Star Wars fans are buzzing after a recent reported leak of the rumored upcoming Death Star set, which is expected to be among the most expensive LEGO Star Wars builds ever. A Reddit post shared images of the set, which will reportedly come in at a staggering $1,000 price point. While it has yet to be officially confirmed by LEGO, the leak has sparked significant excitement—and some concern—among collectors and fans alike.
If the leak proves to be true, the $1,000 price tag would place it among the highest-priced LEGO sets ever produced. This is not the first time LEGO has produced a high-end Star Wars set – the $850, 7,541-piece Millennium Falcon comes to mind – but a Death Star model with such a hefty price would likely top the list of most expensive LEGO offerings in the franchise.
The images, first reported by Redditor Kotaku, showcase the set’s potential level of detail, with multiple interior rooms and complex designs reminiscent of the previous Death Star sets. These sets have been popular in the past, with earlier versions featuring intricate designs of the Death Star’s trench, the throne room, and the iconic detention block. Fans of previous Death Star LEGO sets can likely expect similar features in this new version, but with upgraded design elements that only the most detailed and expensive LEGO sets can provide.
One of the most exciting aspects of this leak is the sheer size and scale of the rumored set. Despite the excitement, the leak has raised some questions among fans. The potential price is undoubtedly a major factor, as it could deter casual fans and collectors who may not be able to justify the cost. For those who are used to spending around $100 to $300 for a typical LEGO Star Wars set, this set might not be immediately attainable.
One Reddit poster said, “I mean for this design it’s fine, I’d even say it’s good for what it is. I don’t see how anyone could be particularly excited about this though for $1000. Would anyone have preferred this over a more detailed version of the other open spherical death stars they’ve done before?”
While the official release date and additional details about the rumored $1K Death Star remain unconfirmed, fans are eagerly awaiting any news from LEGO. If the set is indeed in the works, it will undoubtedly be popular among serious collectors.
For now, we can only wait for an official confirmation from LEGO, but if this set becomes a reality, it will undoubtedly draw significant attention—both for its price and its place in the legacy of Star Wars LEGO sets. The anticipation continues to build, with LEGO fans eagerly discussing the possibilities on forums and Reddit threads, wondering if they can justify the hefty price tag.
