"Being an adult Lego collector is not for the faint of heart ... I mean wallet. Prices on elaborate Lego sets have been creeping up for years, but the new $1,000 Star Wars Death Star takes the cake. You read that right. Claiming the title of most expensive Lego set, the latest Star Wars collectible (released today) costs a cool grand. It's worth the splurge if you're a die-hard fan of the Star Wars franchise, though. Allow me to explain."
"As a Lego expert, I can tell you that prices are usually based on a variety of details, including the amount of bricks, printed pieces or stickers, details, and minifigures. So while the Death Star isn't the biggest set ever piece-wise (the Eiffel Tower and model Titanic, for example, have more bricks), it's the largest Star Wars set everand definitely the most elaborate build Lego has made available to the public."
The new Star Wars Death Star Lego set retails for $1,000 and contains 9,023 pieces. The set includes 36 minifigures and two droids, totaling 38 characters. The build is the largest Star Wars set and is described as the most elaborate public Lego release, with fewer exposed studs and more finished edges. The model recreates iconic locations and interactive moments such as a trash-compactor bay with movable walls, Princess Leia's holding cell, Emperor Palpatine's throne room, a working elevator, a hangar bay housing the included Imperial shuttle, and a retractable bridge.
