LEGO Death Star 75419 UCS: Australia's Ultimate Collector's Guide [2025]
LEGO Death Star 75419 UCS Revealed: Australia's Biggest Star Wars Set to Date
The LEGO Star Wars community has patiently awaited a new Death Star for nearly a decade and can now breathe a collective sigh of relief. LEGO has revealed the Death Star™ 75419 Ultimate Collector Series (UCS), the biggest set of more than 9,000 pieces in star wars series. Available from October 2025, it will retail in Australia at $1,499.99 AUD.
This set is not merely an expansion of its counterpart. Instead of replicating the original globe look, LEGO introduced a dramatic cross-section style. This allows fans to see multiple Star Wars worlds depicted at once, so that the model becomes more of a focal point that looks like a museum diorama and less just a build.
Main Features of the 75419 Death Star
Towering over 70cm high and 79cm wide, the Death Star 75419 is the largest LEGO Star Wars set ever by piece count. Constructed by Master Builder César Soares, the model pushes engineering and display limits. Gone are the days of the builders having to break open and flip parts as in some previous iterations; rather, over fifteen different Star Wars scenes are visible from the front in this cross-section tiered design. The reduced depth of 27cm also makes it suitable for wall mounting, a convenience to space-restricted collectors.
Iconic Star Wars Moments Brought to Life
Inside the model, LEGO fans will find lovingly recreated environments from across the Original Trilogy. Some of these include Emperor Palpatine's Throne Room in Return of the Jedi, complete with viewing window and throne; the tractor beam control unit obliterated by Obi-Wan in A New Hope; the infamous trash compactor; and even Leia's detention cell, where the A New Hope plot began to shift.
In addition to the main film references, LEGO has thrown in some playful fan references for those who have the franchise memorized from stem to stern. Perhaps the most out-of-left-field is the Hot Tub Stormtrooper, a playful video game-inspired Easter egg.
A Record Minifigure Collection
The 75419 set is also shattering the record books with its cast of characters. It has a minimum of 38 minifigures in the set, which is the largest cast ever in a single LEGO box. The designers will have Luke Skywalker in three different forms, different forms of Han Solo and Princess Leia, an extremely detailed Darth Vader figure with removable helmet, and Emperor Palpatine with new printing and lightning effect pieces.
No doubt the most exciting for collectors are the exclusives: the first Galen Erso figure from Rogue One, and the never-produced-before Hot Tub Stormtrooper. These kind of figures have a premium price on the secondary market, which adds even more long-term interest to the set.
Price, Value, and Investment Potential
At nearly fifteen hundred dollars, this Death Star isn't a trifling matter. But in terms of value, the cost per item works out at around $0.166 AUD, which is on par with other high-end UCS sets that have so much unique and specialty material. Compared to previous icons such as the UCS Millennium Falcon or AT-AT, the Death Star not only contains more material but goes deeper in terms of playability and display.
Collectors would do well to consider the investment value, too. Older UCS releases, particularly retired Death Star models, have increased in value at a very rapid pace. The initial Death Star 10188 appreciated from around $400 at release to over $1,600 in today's collector community. As exclusive as it is, with its uniquely designed one-off shape and gargantuan character count, 75419 is almost assured to follow a similar trajectory once it retires.
Australian Release and Brick Island Perks
Australian LEGO fans do not have a long wait. Early access starts with LEGO Insiders on October 1, 2025, and the public release follows on October 4, 2025.
