LEGO Star Wars Death Star 75159 Death Star 4016 Parts

Product Information

Two years after its exit, The Death Star 75159 is still one of the biggest Ultimate Collector’s Series Star Wars sets. The Emperor memorably divulges the operational status of the second Death Star soon after the Rebel fleet arrives. The superlaser dish therefore fires a trans-bright green laser, although some opaque green and lime green elements are needed here. The plant stem recreates the tributary lasers effectively, but I wish this was available in lime green, matching the rest of the laser more closely. The LEGO Death Star sets are part of the Star Wars Ultimate Collector’s Series sets and allow fans to recreate the action and adventure of the Star Wars movies and feature an incredible array of Minifigure scale scenes, moving parts, and characters. The Death Star II’s superlaser is replicated using two trans-light green 4L bars and a green plant element – pretty ingenious part usage! It would’ve looked a bit better if the plant element was translucent too, though, but recolours aren’t usually found in such GWPs.

The set includes 775 pieces, 2 Minifigures, and weapons storage, and also includes a speeder with 2 stud shooters and another speeder with a clip blaster for added play possibilities. There is a rumor that a new LEGO Star Wars Death Star set is rumored for 2022 but this is yet to be confirmed by the LEGO group. Moreover, these sets aren’t a part of the Ultimate Collector’s Series, and they have fewer than 1,000 pieces. Opting for one of the active or retired USC Star Wars models is, in my opinion, the best substitute for the most recent LEGO Death Star set. Here are a few building kits that can be a suitable replacement for this set. Assault on Hoth 75098 Death Star 10143 II is an incredibly detailed and faithful replica of the Deat Star II from Star Wars: Episode Vi Return of the Jedi. The enclosed parts of the Death Star uses clips and 1×4 wedge plates to create simple but effective panels that approximate a rounded shape. Small gaps are present but the inside of the Death Star is pretty dark so they aren’t as noticeable.The set was provided for review by LEGO. All opinions expressed are those of the author. Minifigures The last Ultimate Collectors Series (UCS) LEGO Star Wars Death Star (75159) has already retired so there is a possibility that LEGO wants to continue the chain of having the first Death Star always on the shelves. There are 3 Death Star LEGO sets. However, there are also 3 other Star Wars Sets that feature scenes from the film, plus one other set that includes two joining mini Death Star planet pieces:

If you’re collecting USC Star Wars sets, the AT-AT 75313 must be on your list. This build-to-display model has a beautiful gray-toned exterior and rich interior that includes a seating section for forty Snowtrooper Minifigures and a storage bay for TIE Fighters. Despite appearing completely chaotic, the different items are actually constructed and fixed to the walls or floor, unlike this location in 10188 Death Star and 75159 Death Star, where items were loosely scattered inside. The illusion of twisted metal and total randomness seems very successful though. The trans-red eye of the mysterious dianoga appears less effective, in my opinion.

The Death Star Final Duel 75093 includes 724 pieces and 5 Minifigures with assorted weapons including 2 Lightsabers, 2 Force pikes, and 2 Force Lightning elements. With just under 4,000 pieces the LEGO Death Star 10188 takes around 12 to 15 hours to build. Why Is LEGO Death Star So Expensive? It's not as great as you might think. In fact, compared to what Lego is able to produce now, it would resemble an amateur's model. Give it a year or two and there will be new re-make, much better, more detailed and for better price than 10143."

Even Darth Vader would be most impressed by the piece counts of the biggest ever LEGO Star Wars sets… Here’s the completed model, which stands around 15cm (6″) tall. For its scale I think the designers did a good job approximating the shape and style of the Death Star II. Keep in mind that some online retailers offer used Death Star 75159 building kits at high prices even though their actual value is considerably lower. That’s why you first need to make sure that the set you want to invest in is in perfect condition before purchasing it.As expected, 75339 Death Star Trash Compactor presents this famous scene with incredible accuracy and looks fantastic on display, despite its muted colours. In fact, the varying colours between these dioramas are attractive and this model surpasses the others in minifigures and functionality. The motion of the walls and positioning of the items inside are clever. Printed quotations from each scene also ensure continuity across the range, appearing beside the LEGO Star Wars branding. The trash compactor scene is unusual as relatively few classic lines are spoken inside the compactor, but Han Solo's humorous assessment of their situation conveys his persona. Even so, I would have chosen Leia's more memorable "into the garbage chute, flyboy", which obviously describes the scene. The model is built around a Technic axle at its core, using several 2×2 parabolic ring pieces and clips to create its external shape. Here’s how the model looks at the end of bag 1. Newer versions of the set have newer head printings (with pupils and redesigns) for Obi-Wan and Han.
