  • Summary

  • In this episode, we’re diving deep into one of the most legendary and hotly debated sets in the entire Lego Star Wars UCS lineup: set #10188, The Death Star. Originally released in September 2008, this colossal set stood as a centerpiece for Lego collectors and Star Wars fans alike—and it remained on store shelves for what felt like an eternity. Seriously, an eternity.

    But what makes The Death Star so iconic? Is it the sheer size? The endless play features? Or maybe the controversy surrounding its prolonged availability and impact on collectors’ investments? Whether you’re here for an entertaining Lego collecting tale, or you want to avoid the pitfalls of impulse-buying massive Lego sets, this is the episode for you. Trust me—your wallet might thank you after this one!

    Stick around until the very end, where I’ll share my final verdict on this set: does it deserve to be considered one of the greatest Lego sets of all time, or did it hang around longer than it should have? You won’t want to miss it.

    As always, thanks for tuning in, and may the bricks be with you!
