For months now, rumors of a Lego Star Wars Demise Star set have been floating round Reddit, Instagram, and different locations the place Lego nerds (like myself) hang around. Now we lastly have our first actual have a look at the large upcoming Lego set, and it appears to substantiate the earlier rumors, which additionally claimed the value for this 9,000+ piece set is likely to be $1,000.
I first heard a few huge Lego Demise Star set that would value as a lot as $1,000 again in Could. On the time, the one supposed particulars that had leaked had been its set quantity, piece rely, October launch date, and estimated value, in addition to some tiny particulars on doable minifigs that might be included. There was additionally hypothesis that it wouldn’t be a full orb, however as an alternative a half-orb that might function extra of a big diorama piece. Now some new leaked pictures appear to substantiate many, however not all, of these beforehand rumored particulars.
On August 9, three images of what seems to be the (nonetheless formally unconfirmed) Lego Demise Star set had been shared on Reddit. The images present the large set’s equally huge field and ensure the beforehand leaked set quantity and piece rely. Nicely, really, the piece rely of 9,023 is just a few bricks greater than what was leaked, nevertheless it’s shut sufficient that I’m assured that the supply of the small print had superior data.
The brand new leak additionally confirms Rogue One and Andor’s Orson Krennic is likely one of the many included minifigs. Others embrace Ben Kenobi, Luke Skywalker in his Stormtrooper disguise, R2-D2 and C-3PO, the Emperor, a bunch of Imperial higher-ups seen in A New Hope, and Darth Vader. Oh, and I feel I noticed a Sim Aloo determine within the pictures included on the again of the field. (Although a completely different leak merely refers to him as an “Imperial Dignitary.” Boo!)
In fact, the massive information from this leak is that if all these beforehand rumored and speculated particulars are correct, then it’s very doubtless Lego is about to set a brand new document for the costliest official Lego set ever.
Presently, the best retail value the toy firm has ever positioned on a single set is $850 for the very huge Millennium Falcon. That 7,500+ piece set was launched in 2017 and remains to be on the market as of August 2025. The rumored value level of $1,000 for the brand new Star Wars Demise Star would shatter the outdated document. Nonetheless, the brand new Demise Star received’t break the largest set document, which is held by the Eiffel Tower set launched in 2022. It comprises 10,001 items and prices $630.
And if you happen to’re curious, the outdated Demise Star set launched in 2016 value $500. On the time that appeared like rather a lot, and it nonetheless is some huge cash in 2025 to most individuals. I can’t think about how many individuals will have the ability to afford double that when the brand new set arrives in October, assuming the rumored value is correct. And as tariffs proceed to be a rising downside in the US due to President Trump, count on Lego units and different toys to grow to be dearer, too.
