That’s no moon. But the price is lunacy. This is the brand new LEGO Star Wars 75419 Death Star.
Arriving outside the atmosphere of a planet near you on October 1st, 75419 brings Star Wars’ most iconic energy project into LEGO’s Ultimate Collector Series, with over 9,000 parts, thirty-eight mini-figures and an array of movie scenes held within a thin slice of space-station.
These include the crushing trash compactor, Princess Leia’s cell, the hangar control room infiltrated by Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, the tractor beam control deactivated by Obi-Wan Kenobi, Emperor Palpatine’s throne room, the Imperial Shuttle hangar bay, and the planet-destroying Superlaser. And all for $999.
Yes, it’s finally (if inevitably) happened, 75419 is the first one-thousand dollar LEGO set. With a recommended retail price of $999 / £899, it actually translates to over $1,200 in our home nation at today’s exchange rate. Which sounds, and is, a galactic amount of money. But perhaps black boxes and purple Imperial Dignitaries don’t come cheap.
If you’re head of a Galactic Empire you can get your black gloved hands on the new LEGO Star Wars 75419 Death Star set from October 1st. For the rest of us in the Republic, we haven’t forgotten that LEGO is supposed to be a toy, so we’ll be playing with what we’ve got.




Haha, lunacy.
