The quick list
The most expensive Lego Star Wars set to date, this is undoubtedly the most impressive, too. But you'll need a lot of space (and a very big wallet) before you pick it up.
Price: $849.99 / £649.99
Model number: 75192
Number of pieces: 7,541
One of the newest entrants into Lego's range of huge UCS models, this thing is over a meter long and packs in a ridiculous amount of detail.
Price: $649.99 / £559.99
Model number: 75367
Number of pieces: 5,374
This is the latest in a long line of Lego X-Wings, but it's by far the biggest and most impressive. It packs in a lot of detail, and we love the included Luke Skywalker minifigure.
Price: $239.99 / £209.99
Model number: 75355
Number of pieces: 1,949
One of the most fun Lego Star Wars builds, there's a lot to love about the Mos Eisley Cantina - not least the twenty one minifigures the set includes.
Price: $399.99 / £344.99
Model number: 75290
Number of pieces: 3,187
An excellent - and very sizeable - playset, we love the detailed interior of the AT-TE Walker, along with its moving joints.
Price: $139.99 / £119.99
Model number: 75337
Number of pieces: 1,082
We've had a lot of landspeeders in the past, but none hold a candle to 2022's Ultimate Collector's Series model. It's a very enjoyable build - and the final model is wonderful.
Price: $239.99 / £209.99
Model number: 75341
Number of pieces: 1,890
One of our favorite droids in the galaxy, there's a lot to love about this R2-D2 model. Sure, it's a complex build - but it's well worth it.
Price: $239.99 / £209.99
Model number: 75308
Number of pieces: 2,314
If you can't cough up $850 for the UCS Millennium Falcon, this is a very good alternative - and a fraction of the price.
Price: $169.99 / £149.99
Model number: 75257
Number of pieces: 1,353
We've had huge, huge Super Star Destroyers before, but this desktop-sized model is the perfect size — and price — to suit most spaces and budgets. We just love it.
Price: $69.99 / £59.99
Model number: 75356
Number of pieces: 630
UCS Millennium Falcon
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
✅ You have a lot of space: It's a huge set, and you'll want to keep it somewhere where it can be admired.
❌ You're on a budget: This is one of the most expensive Lego Star Wars sets you can buy, but if you can afford it, it's worth every penny.
🔎 UCS Millennium Falcon: One of the two most expensive Lego sets ever created, there's something truly special about the Millennium Falcon. If you can afford it, have it in your collection: It's that simple. ★★★★★
You know a set is going to be impressive when the Lego Store recommends that people take it home using wheels rather than carry it. And it really is huge: At the time of its launch, the Ultimate Collector's Series Millennium Falcon was the biggest set ever released.
It's since been superseded by newer sets in terms of piece count, but it's still the joint most-expensive Lego set you can buy. Its price tag is absolutely eye-watering at $849.99 but you are getting something really special for that — and something that will eternally be the envy of all your friends.
It's far from the first Lego Millennium Falcon — in fact, it's not even the only Millennium Falcon on this list — but none others come close in terms of detail and scale. Those other ones? They are absolutely dwarfed by this thing if you see them side-to-side.
In our Lego Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon review we said it's "the most visually impressive Lego set ever released", and if you're a Star Wars fan it's hard to disagree. Sure, it may be a mass of gray but that just makes it look more like the real thing.
If we had to criticize it at all? We wish there were more minifigures with it . Some Lego Star Wars sets have dozens but there's only seven here, including two versions of Han Solo. Some more unique minifigs would have been nice to see. Other than that, though, the Millennium Falcon is one of the best Lego sets of all time, not just from the Star Wars range, and if you can stomach its price tag, it's an absolute must-buy.

Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
✅ You've got time on your hands: This is a time-intensive build, so you want to be able to concentrate on it for long periods at a time.
✅ You're a collector: At $650, this isn't a set to buy on a whim.
❌ You're all about the minifigures: There are only two here: Captain Rex and Admiral Yularen.
🔎 Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser: This is a stunning recreation of one of the Star Wars universe's most underrated (and probably coolest) ships. Although pricey and huge, there's a lot to love. ★★★★
This isn't the ship you think of when you think of Star Wars. It's probably not in the top five. Heck, it might not even be in the top ten. But if you are familiar with the Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser, you'll know just how cool it is. Hailing from the Clone Wars era, it's essentially the predecessor to the Star Destroyer — but honestly, we think we prefer this.
This Lego model does the original source material some real justice. Measuring 43 inches (109cm) in length, it packs in a lot of detail, from its engine array to an imposing command tower. Its striking use of red color helps break up the gray bricks too: Something we don't see too often on Star Wars sets, and just one of the reasons why the Venator is so iconic.
Our only real disappointment with this set, as we pointed out in our Lego Star Wars Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser review, is that it has no main hangar. For a model this big, it's a shame — especially when the real ship's main hangar was such a focal point in the Star Wars movies and TV shows.
But it's hard to be too disappointed, when everything else is so detailed and wonderful here. Yes, it's very expensive — amongst the most expensive Lego sets ever made, in fact — but if you've got the budget (and space) for it, it's a set you'll treasure for a long time.
X-Wing Starfighter
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
✅ You want something iconic: The X-Wing is amongst the most iconic Star Wars ships there is, and this is the best version Lego's done yet.
❌ You already have a Lego X-Wing: This might be the biggest, but there have already been several X-Wings over the years.
🔎 X-Wing Starfighter: The biggest X-Wing for Lego yet, it feels a little like a "safe" choice, but it's still a very impressive model all the same. ★★★★
We've had a lot of X-Wings over the years. A lot. But undoubtedly, this Ultimate Collector's Series version of the iconic Starfighter is the one to beat them all. At a glance, it might not look all that different from the smaller versions we've had over the years — that is, until you see it up close and realize just how big it is.
There's a great amount of detail here, and this set earns its "UCS" status with gusto. Its wings are poseable, and can be locked in multiple positions, which is a touch we love. In our UCS X-Wing Starfighter review we also commented on how sturdy and well-built the wings in particular are, thanks to being built with a Technic chassis.
Unfortunately, some other parts of the ship are somewhat flimsy during the building phase. We found the nose in particular was unstable, and was easily knocked until everything came together. For that reason, we wouldn't necessarily recommend this as a plaything: It's better sat safely on a shelf with its included stand.
It also includes an excellently detailed Luke Skywalker minifigure, and the stand it comes with deserves praise for being so well-integrated to the model — there's little risk of it toppling over. You'll need a fair bit of desk space to get it on display, but you're going to want to show this one off if you pick it up.
Mos Eisley Cantina
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
✅ You want a huge plaything: Adult Lego sets are not usually toys, but this one is impossible to avoid playing with.
✅ You like minifigures: With 21 included in the box, it's a collector's dream.
❌ You're limited on space: Its dimensions make it awkward to display it somewhere where it can be seen and enjoyed
🔎 Mos Eisley Cantina: Nothing short of a masterpiece, this Lego recreation of the iconic Mos Eisley packs in so much detail and character. It's impossible not to love. ★★★★★
Few Lego Star Wars sets are as impressive in size and scope as Lego Star Wars Mos Eisley Cantina. This gargantuan set really gives you a sense of the scale of the actual Mos Eisley Cantina, the Tatooine tavern that we were first introduced to in A New Hope.
From the outside, the set might not look like much, but once you open it up you'll be wowed by just how much detail has been packed in inside. It opens like a book, revealing two sides of the cantina with a bar in the middle. There are seating booths complete with tables a chairs and the bar is fully-stocked with myriad bottles and jars.
Outside of the building you'll find a space to dock your landspeeder and Dewback — both of which are included in the Lego Star Wars Mos Eisley Cantina — and plenty more details.
One of our favorite things about this set, though, is the fact it comes with 21 minifigures. There's the full range of iconic characters here including Obi-Wan, Chewbacca, Ponda Baba and R2-D2, so you can use them to recreate all kinds of memorable scenes from A New Hope.
In our Lego Star Wars Mos Eisley Cantina review, we called this set "an utter masterpiece", and that's something we stand by. Sure, it's not cheap, but there's so much joy to be had from playing with this set, no matter how old you are.

AT-TE Walker
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
✅ You like quality playsets: It's designed to be a playset rather than a display set, but there's enough detail here that it works for both.
❌ You just want something to look at: With so many moving parts it would be a shame for this set to gather dust.
🔎 AT-TE Walker: One of the best Lego Star Wars playsets around, this one won't break the bank but will provide lots of fun, no matter how old you are. ★★★★½
A new Lego AT-TE Walker has been at the top of Lego Star Wars fans' wishlists for years, and finally, Lego has delivered. The Lego Star Wars AT-TE Walker doesn't disappointed, either: it's the best AT-TE we've ever had, and offers just about everything we could have asked for.
There's a lot of detail packed into the set, particularly in its interior. Even opening it up is a joy, with panels opening on either side of the Walker to reveal its innards. In our Lego Star Wars AT-TE Walker review, we said it was the most detailed AT-TE interior ever, with space for up to seven minifigure clone troopers to sit. You'll also find a gunner control panel inside, a weapons rack, and even a mug so those troopers can stay hydrated while out on a mission.
We think it's a great build, too. It's surprisingly quick, given the set is made up of 1,082 pieces — although that's perhaps just because we enjoyed putting it together so much. Spread over six bags, everything feels methodical and logical, and there are some great building techniques used throughout.
There's a nice selection of minifigures here too, and it's one of the only sets you'll find Commander Cody in.

Luke Skywalker's Landspeeder
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
✅ You like the classics: Few Star Wars vehicles are as memorable as this landspeeder, and it really looks the part.
❌ You already have multiple landspeeders: Granted, none are as impressive as this, but Lego has made a lot of Landspeeders in the 25-year history of Lego Star Wars.
🔎 Luke Skywalker's Landspeeder: One of the more reasonably-priced UCS sets, this landspeeder packs in a lot of detail, managing to look just like the real thing. ★★★★½
Forget the near-$800 price tag of the likes of the Ultimate Collector's Series AT-AT and Millennium Falcon. This is one of our favorite UCS sets currently available, and the main reason is its reasonable price tag. At $239.99, it feels practically a bargain in comparison, and while it might not be as big or piece-heavy, it's every bit as detailed as its counterparts, earning its UCS badge with gusto.
It is true that we've had multiple Landspeeders since Lego started making Star Wars sets back in 1999. In our Luke Skywalker's Landspeeder review we noted there'd been at least 11 X-34 Landspeeders made, which is rather astronomical. None are a patch on this one, however, which dwarfs the lot of them with its sheer size and scale.
Obviously, this isn't minifigure-sized but it does come with two: Luke Skywalker and C-3PO, who make a great addition to the information plaque fixed to the set's stand. They may be lost in the cockpit but as an extra bit of detail we're glad they're there.
Our only real complaint about this set is that the building process can be a little repetitive at times, particularly when you get onto the engines. Putting three almost-identical engines together is tedious, but they at least look fantastic when built.

R2-D2
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
✅ You love droids: And R2-D2 has to be the most lovable droid ever, surely?
✅ You like challenging builds: This one is surprisingly difficult to put together, but it's challenging in the right sort of way.
❌ You're a beginner: If you've never built a Lego set before, this really isn't the place to start.
🔎 R2-D2: This is a set that has just about everything: a challenging build, great details, cool features and it's just about the right size to put on display without taking up too much space. A real winner. ★★★★½
For a droid that’s so famous for being shiny and smooth, we were very impressed by just how well R2-D2 fits the Lego style. Smartly built, this model not only leans back like the droid himself thanks to his retractable mid-leg, but can also open and extend his front hatches, pop out a moveable periscope, and rotate his head. Oh, and inside his head you'll find a secret compartment containing Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber. How neat is that?
It’s an expensive set at over $200, but there are few more beloved and recognizable Star Wars characters and it’ll make a stunning centerpiece in any Star Wars fan’s home. In our Lego Star Wars R2-D2 review, we praised the set as a display piece — but suggested it might not make the best playset due to being rather fragile.
Plus, who doesn’t want their very own sassy droid sidekick? It’s also a fun build that combines some unique building techniques in order to accurately portray R2-D2 as the three-legged space dustbin he is.
If you love R2-D2 but don't want to spend quite so much, there's a brand new, slightly smaller model now available. Costing $99.99, the new Lego R2-D2 is made up of 1,050 pieces and a slightly easier build, catering for kids — it's rated ages 10+, so it's more suited to beginners. And it still comes with a display plaque, giving it the appearance of a UCS set.

Millennium Falcon
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
✅ You want a Millennium Falcon without breaking the bank: It's a fraction of the UCS, and still has lots of cool details.
❌ You want the very best: It's just not going to cut it at the side of the UCS Millennium Falcon.
🔎 Millennium Falcon: It may not be a patch on the UCS version of the iconic ship, but for a fraction of the price it still packs in a lot of detail. We'd be more than happy with just this one in our collection. ★★★★
Would you like a Millennium Falcon Lego set that doesn’t require you to move into a new five-bedroom house to store it? Or one that doesn't require you to remortgage your house in order to buy it? Well, you’re in luck. This new Millennium Falcon was released in 2019 alongside Rise of Skywalker.
That means it's been around for almost five years now, but Lego shows no sign of retiring it just yet, which we're thrilled about. It's a great midi-sized Millennium Falcon, giving those of us who can't afford the giant behemoth further up this list a valid option that still looks fantastic.
As we picked up in our Lego Star Wars Millennium Falcon review, the minifigure selection here is a bit of a mixed bag, however. On the one hand, it’s cool to get an older Lando, but on the other, a Millennium Falcon without Han Solo just feels wrong.
If you want a Millennium Falcon with an even smaller price tag, Lego has just released a brand new version as part of its Lego Star Wars 25th Anniversary range. The 2024 Millennium Falcon costs $84.99 and with 921 pieces, it's hardly a slouch. It comes on a display stand, built to a similar scale as the Executor Super Star Destroyer, which you'll also find on this list.

Lego Star Wars Executor Super Star Destroyer
Our expert review:
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
✅ You have limited display space: This is the perfect size to pop on a desk or side table without taking up too much real estate.
✅ You're on a budget: As much as we'd all love the UCS sets, we don't all have that much disposable income. This is the perfect compromise while still looking fantastic.
❌ You want something huge: We love this set, but it's not big enough to truly have a "wow" factor.
🔎 Executor Super Star Destroyer: This is the perfect-sized set for adult Lego builders on a budget. It looks fantastic, and building it is a great way to spend an evening. ★★★★½
There's no denying that Lego's Ultimate Collectors Series sets are the ultimate purchase for adult fans of Lego. But with price tags going up to $850, we can't all afford them. Lego's come up with the perfect solution: Star Wars sets aimed at adults, designed to be displayed, but costing a fraction of the price.
The Executor Super Star Destroyer is the first in (hopefully) a long line of Star Wars ships costing sub-$100 while still packing in a lot of detail. This one is 17 inches (43cm) long, so it's no slouch and while it doesn't open up or include any minifigures, it's instantly recognizable as a Super Star Destroyer. It even has two micro-sized regular Star Destroyers flying alongside it to give it some scale, which we absolutely love.
Despite not having an interior, there's plenty of detail on the top of the ship thanks to a creative array of bricks and some really neat building techniques. We particularly like the back, too, where you'll find a series of engines glowing red.
It's made up of 630 pieces, which isn't the biggest set in the world. But we find this to be the perfect size for building on an evening: You can sit down and know you can finish it in a couple of hours, unlike larger sets which take days.
N-1 Starfighter
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
✅ You're on a budget: For just $60, this is one of the cheapest Lego Star Wars ships you can buy, and it still packs in a lot of detail.
❌ You're not a Mando fan: You'll only find this in Disney Plus' The Mandalorian, so if you're a Classic Star Wars fan, this isn't the ship you're looking for.
🔎 N-1 Starfighter: Wallet friendly and great for kids, this playset is a great buy for any Mandalorian fan with plenty of neat features. ★★★½
Considering it's just $60 and made up of 400 pieces, we're pleasantly surprised at how large the Lego Star Wars The Mandalorian's N-1 Starfighter is. It's 16.5 inches long! That's no slouch.
This is still primarily a playset, however, and as such, it lacks much of the detail we'd expect from a higher-priced set aimed at adults. Still, there's a lot to like, including its excellent minifigures (Mando, Peli Motto, Grogu and a BD droid) and wonderfully-designed engines. We particularly love the passenger dome with a place for Grogu to sit and watch the world go by as Mando flies.
We've had a bit of trouble with some parts of the build, however, such as the rear thruster which is a little flimsy. That's the downside of a set with a limited piece count. Still, until we get an Ultimate Collector's Series version of Mando's Starfighter, this one is more than good enough.
Lego Star Wars Frequently Asked Questions
What's the biggest Lego Star Wars set currently available?
The biggest Lego Star Wars set you can currently buy — and indeed of all time — is the Ultimate Collector's Series Millennium Falcon, which you'll find atop our list of best Lego Star Wars sets. It's made up of 7,541 pieces and at the time of its launch, it was the biggest set of all time, across all Lego brands. It's since been beat out by Lego's World Map (now retired) and the Eiffel Tower.
What is the best Lego Star Wars set?
This is of course a subjective question and everyone will have their own favorite Lego Star Wars set. But for us, the best Lego Star Wars set you can buy, if money is no object, is the UCS Millennium Falcon. Yes, it's expensive ($849.99) but it's one of the most detailed and intricate Lego sets you'll ever buy. It's huge, though, so you'll need a lot of space to display it.
When do Lego Star Wars sets retire?
Lego sets aren't kept around forever: they retire regularly to allow space for new sets to be produced and displayed on shelves. However, there's no set rule for how long a Lego set will be around. With Lego Star Wars sets, we've typically found that playsets retire quicker than sets aimed at adults, but that's not necessarily the case. Some sets retire as quickly as after 12-18 months. But others stay around for years: the UCS Millennium Falcon, for example, has been around since 2017.
Sets that are retiring soon will appear on the Lego website with a "last chance" banner. You can also visit the Last Chance to Buy section of Lego's website to check what's about to be taken off shelves.
