UCS Millennium Falcon

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It's since been superseded by newer sets in terms of piece count, but it's still the joint most expensive Lego set you can buy.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.

There might have been more Millennium Falcons than any other Lego Star Wars set (it's not even the only Millennium Falcon on our list, in fact) but it's safe to say that no other version of the iconic ship has ever been as incredible as this. This behemoth will dwarf any other version of the set you try and compare it to.

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 it's incredibly authentic and its design is about as close to the real thing as you're going to get.

Do we have any criticisms? Not really, but if we had to choose something then we wish it came with a better selection of minifigures. While some large Lego sets can have over 20 minifigures included, there are only seven here (including two separate versions of Han Solo). But it's understandable: the UCS Millennium Falcon isn't designed to be minifigure scale, so those that are included are purely for display purposes.

Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser

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.

The Lego Star Wars Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser is a fantastic recreation of the source material in just about every way. It looks just like the real thing, and its striking use of red makes it stand out from the rest of the fleet of Star Wars ships, which are often a mass of gray. It's an iconic-looking ship, and this model does it real justice.

It is huge, though, so bear that in mind if you're thinking of picking it up. It measures 43 inches (109cm) in length, so you'll need to ensure you have some serious display space to show this fantastic ship off. If you do have enough space? You won't be disappointed: The detail here is second to none. Everything from the engine array to its imposing command tower looks fantastic.

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

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 Ultimate Collector's Series (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.

There are a few little niggles to be aware of, though. We found some parts of the ship to be a little flimsy while building, particularly the nose of the X-Wing. It's to be expected with the thin design of the ship, but it means you'll likely keep knocking it as you're building. Once it's all complete it feels sturdy enough, thankfully, but it requires a bit of extra care — we wouldn't recommend kids using this as a playset, for example.

The UCS X-Wing Starfighter 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.

Jabba's Sail Barge

At a whopping 3,943 pieces and being roughly 31 inches in length, Lego Star Wars Jabba's Sail Barge is no slouch. But being the latest Ultimate Collector's Series set from Lego, it was never going to be. This set allows you to recreate some of the most iconic scenes from Return of the Jedi — and it even includes a minifigure of Princess Leia wearing that outfit. You know the one.

Minifigures are a big feature here, in fact. There are 10 in total, alongside a huge Jabba big-fig. Along with Princess Leia you'll find C-3PO, Bib Fortuna, Kithaba, R2-D2 and plenty more, all of which can be displayed on a plinth outside of the ship or placed inside to create a scene.

Costing $500, we can't exactly say that Jabba's Sail Barge is a playset, but with so much interactivity and a great set of characters to play with, it's impossible to resist. Whether you're putting a troublemaker in the prison cell, taking control of the cockpit or hanging out in the entertainment room, there's so much detail to take in.

The expensive price tag is the only real downside we can think of when it comes to the Lego Star Wars Jabba's Sail Barge. It's far from the most expensive UCS set (Millennium Falcon, we're looking at you), but it still places it in the realm of serious collectors only: If you're a casual Lego fan, this is likely well out of your budget.

If you are a serious collected though? You won't be disappointed. This 4,000-piece build offers plenty of variety and some challenging bits, but with a full interior and detail exterior, it looks absolutely fantastic when it's done. You absolutely won't regret having this set in your collection.

AT-TE Walker

It's been around for almost two years, and so we don't think the AT-TE Walker is long for this world: It's likely to be retired soon. It's a real shame, too, because this is one of the best AT-TE sets we've had from Lego in recent years. We only hope when it eventually gets replaced (as Lego Star Wars sets usually do), its replacement lives up to this one.

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 found this to be a surprisingly quick build to complete given its 1,082 piece count, but that's largely due to it being so enjoyable. With a recommended age rating of 9+, its instructions are easy enough for kids to follow, although younger builders might benefit from a bit of assistance here and there.

The pieces are spread over six bags and putting the AT-TE together feels logical and methodical: There's nothing too complex here and nothing that's likely to stump you. There's a nice selection of minifigures here too, and it's one of the only sets you'll find Commander Cody in.

Mos Espa Podrace Diorama

If you're in the market for an adult-friendly Lego Star Wars display set, there are other options outside of the huge and pricey Ultimate Collector's Series sets. You can choose a Star Wars helmet, or you can opt for a diorama. Many of them have sadly retired, but the Mos Espa Podrace Diorama is still around, and it makes a great little desktop display piece — as long as you don't mind owning a set based on The Phantom Menace.

In our Mos Espa Podrace Diorama review, we praised the design of the set: the rocky outcrop that forms the backdrop of the diorama looks wonderful, and some clever building techniques are employed to achieve a rounded, textured appearance.

It's just a shame than the podracers themselves — there's Anakin's and his rival, Sebulba's — are a little flimsy in comparison. It's to be expected: Podracers by their design are rather slight, but it means that building and placing them within the diorama can be a bit arduous, and it's easy to knock them out of place.

Still, once it's all built and placed safely on a shelf or desk, there's no denying that the Podrace Diorama is a very nice set to look at. The orange and yellow colors of the podracers add a welcome splash of vibrancy against the sandy-colored background, and we love the craggy detail added to the ground. And like other Diorama sets, it's all built upon a sturdy plinth, and a printed brick on the front of the set includes a quote from the relevant scene.

Grogu with Hover Pram

We're pretty sure that Grogu is the cutest character in all of the Star Wars universe, and so it stands to reason that any Lego set featuring the unofficial 'baby Yoda' would be a big hit. Released in January 2025, we can confirm that Lego Star Wars Grogu with Hover Pram is a wonderful set. But before you jump into it, be aware that the hover pram is by far the biggest part of the set: Grogu is actually pretty small.

It's not the first Grogu set we've had, but The Child, which was a much bigger model of Grogu, has since retired. Unless you want to pick up a set on the second-hand market, then, this is your only opportunity to buy a brick-built Grogu. And, to be fair, Grogu himself looks absolutely wonderful. His eyes and ears are incredibly expressive, and he has a good range of motion in his arms and hands. He even comes with a range of accessories to hold onto.

Most of your time building the set will be spent putting the pram together, however. It's not the most interesting of builds, although it is satisfying to construct something with a successfully rounded edge. Once it's done, Grogu sits perfectly in the pram, and the set feels rather secure.

Like a UCS set, it comes with an information plaque, making this a great display set. Despite being age-rated 10+, we think it's better suited to adults as it's not much of a playset — but Grogu-lovers of any age are going to love this, we think.

Millennium Falcon

We've had the huge $850 UCS Millennium Falcon, but how about one that doesn't require a bank loan to buy and an extra room in your house to store? Released in 2024, this version of the Millennium Falcon is also designed to be a display set rather than a playset, and despite being tiny in comparison to the UCS version, it still packs in a lot of detail.

In our Millennium Falcon (2024) review, we called this one of our favorite recreations of the Millennium Falcon to date. That's no lie: it may be little, but this budget-friendly display set is instantly recognizable as the most iconic ship in the Star Wars galaxy. It packs in a lot of detail, too, and it's a very enjoyable set to build, aside from the odd fiddly section.

Made up of 921 pieces, it's the sort of set you can build in one sitting and if you're fairly new to Lego, it's a manageable set that offers a challenge without being too complex.

We love that it comes on its own display stand, meaning it's easy to put on display on a desk, shelf or mantelpiece. The only real downside is that it doesn't come with any minifigures: We'd have liked a Han Solo for display purposes to stand next to the display plaque, but it's not a total dealbreaker.

Executor Super Star Destroyer

From one reasonably-priced display ship to another: This time we have the Executor Super Star Destroyer. It might not be quite as iconic as the Millennium Falcon, but it's still instantly recognizable — and this midi-sized desktop version is the perfect display set if you don't want to break the bank (or if you're limited on space).

Sure, 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. And that's why we're so glad sets like this one exists.

The Executor Super Star Destroyer was the first to be released in a series 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, there's no mistaking what it's a model of. It even has two micro-sized regular Star Destroyers flying alongside it to give it some scale, which we absolutely love.

There's obviously no interior to look at here, but there's plenty of exterior detail to give it life. The clever array of bricks gives the Executor Super Star Destroyer a nice texture, and it uses some great building techniques in the process. We particularly love the red-glowing engines towards the rear of the ship.

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

Considering it costs just $60 and is 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, especially for a playset.

In our N-1 Starfighter review, we described it as a 'substantial set' and praised the great selection of minifigures included with it. It's important to note that this is a playset rather than a display piece, so it's geared towards kids swooshing it through the air rather than it being admired at a distance. As a result, it lacks the level of detail that adult Lego Star Wars fans might expect — and it's a shame too, as just a few tweaks would have made this an authentic reproduction of Din Djarin's iconic vehicle.

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.

Acclamator-Class Assault Ship

Wonderfully pocket-sized; that's how we described the Lego Star Wars Acclamator-Class Assault Ship in our review. Sure, it might pale in comparison when it's stood at the side of the Ultimate Collector's Series Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser, but for Lego fans who want a small build that isn't going to break the bank, we don't think they come much better than this.

Made up of only 450 pieces, the Acclamator-Class Assault Ship is an ideal set to build in one sitting. It'll take you around 90 minutes, and when you're done, you'll be left with a stunning set that will look great on any shelf or desktop. Despite its small size (it measures 6x9x5 inches), it packs in a lot of detail, such as its engines, command tower and paintwork. More impressively, there's not a single sticker used here: All the patterns and colors on its body are due to printed bricks.

We think this is a great set for any Lego Star Wars fan who wants a modest build, but it's an especially good set if you're new to Lego. If you've been thinking of picking up a Lego Star Wars set for a while and want something small to start off with, this is a fantastic option. Everyone should practice on something first before jumping into the UCS Millennium Falcon!

How we test

Our Lego reviews are conducted either by staff members or our trusted freelance writers, all of whom are Lego experts. They've built hundreds of sets and so they know what works and what doesn't when it comes to making one of the best Lego sets.

We assess Lego Star Wars sets on two main factors: its building process, and how it looks when it's finished. With Lego Star Wars sets, we also take into consideration how close they are to the source material, too. Does the Millennium Falcon look realistic, for example, and does R2-D2 resemble the actual droid from the movies?

In terms of the building process, we consider how easy the instruction book is to follow, and how straightforward each step is. Are there any troublesome parts of the build, or is there any section that doesn't seem to stay in place?

When it's finished, our assessment will depend on whether the Lego set is designed for play or display. If it's a set made for kids, we'll look at how many interactive elements it has for imaginative play, and how hardy it is: A playset should be able to withstand some heavy handling. Display sets need to be sturdy too, and we'll also consider how attractive they are to look at, and how unique/interesting their design is.
