LEGO's Executor Super Star Destroyer Becomes Longest Star Wars Set
Darth Vader's flagship recreated as a 53-inch Ultimate Collector Series model.
1Record-breaking collector's item
LEGO's new Executor Super Star Destroyer measures 53.5 inches (136 cm) long, making it the largest Star Wars set to date. This Ultimate Collector Series piece boasts impressive dimensions of 7.5 inches tall and 20 inches wide. With 6,130 pieces, it significantly surpasses previous versions in both size and detail. The massive scale isn't just about length but also incorporates intricate surface textures and mechanical detailing throughout the hull.
2Cinematic details and engineering
The model recreates the Empire's most iconic ship with meticulous multi-angle detailing. Pipes, vents, and printed tiles faithfully replicate the original ship's appearance. An internal skeleton structure prevents sagging in the long, narrow body. Reinforced with technical parts and panels, the outer armor provides both visual depth and structural integrity. The rear engine section stands out with layered components and orange turbine details.
3Scale demonstration and reference models
To emphasize the ship's fictional enormity, LEGO included a small Imperial Star Destroyer on a display stand. A micro Millennium Falcon detail on the Super Star Destroyer further illustrates the scale. These reference models instantly showcase the main ship's massive proportions. The primary model sits on a built-in stand for display upon completion.
4Exclusive minifigures for collectors
The set includes Darth Vader plus six bounty hunters from The Empire Strikes Back: Boba Fett, Dengar, Bossk, IG-88, 4-LOM, and Zuckuss. This marks the first LEGO set to feature all six bounty hunters together. A small replica of the Executor's bridge allows recreation of Vader's meeting scene with the bounty hunters.
5Challenging project for adult builders
This Ultimate Collector Series piece offers both a complex building experience and an impressive display item. Targeting adults 18+, it appeals to experienced LEGO builders. Designed as an immediate focal point with substantial physical presence, it's ideal for Star Wars enthusiasts with ample display space.
6Pricing and availability details
The Executor Super Star Destroyer retails for $799.99 in the US. LEGO Insiders gain early access starting October 1. During the October 1-7 promotion, buyers will receive a complimentary Darth Vader lightsaber while supplies last. The set launches globally across all retail channels on the specified dates.
7LEGO's adult collector strategy
In recent years, LEGO has focused on high-end, detailed display sets for adult collectors. The Ultimate Collector Series forms a key part of this strategy. Following 2022's $800 AT-AT and $850 Millennium Falcon sets, the company now offers one of Star Wars' most iconic ships in the premium segment.
8Collectible value and investment potential
LEGO's limited-edition premium sets often appreciate in value over time. Previous Ultimate Collector Series items typically exceed their original prices on the secondary market. This 6,130-piece behemoth appeals to both Star Wars fans and investment-minded LEGO buyers. Its physical size and limited production could make it a sought-after collectible in the future.
