Understanding forget a Lego shelf – you’ll need a whole room for this gigantic 6,130-piece Star Wars ship

Like Lego? Keen on Star Wars? Not thrilled about the pair squeezing your wallet with a death grip even Darth Vader would be quietly impressed by? Too bad on that last one, because Lego’s latest Star Wars effort is the longest one yet, and it’ll need way more shelf space than your average X-Wing. Swooshing in on 1 October 2026, priced $799.99/£649.99, is the Lego Star Wars Executor Super Star Destroyer. And it’s an absolute monster.

This legendary flagship retains its movie appearance as a ginormous grey triangular dart. Only this time, you’re piecing it together from a whopping 6,130 plastic parts. By the time you’re done, your thumbs will be in agony but your eyes will be on stalks, taking in the ship’s frankly ridiculous 136cm (53.5in) form. 

At which point, you’ll doubtless wonder where you’re going to store the thing. Given that the set weighs 5kg (11lb) when complete, think carefully before trying to get clever with wall mounting. One badly anchored bracket and your pride and joy could end up recreating the Executor’s on-screen demise during the Battle of Endor.

Big, it is

Despite effectively being an enormous grey triangle, there’s plenty going on with the Lego Star Wars Executor Super Star Destroyer when you get up close. Technic outriggers anchor the external panels, providing strength without turning the entire model into a chunky slab. Loads of greebling gives the ship’s surface some suitably Imperial levels of fiddly detail. There’s also a tile graphic Lego says is used 60 times for tiny hull lights and central detailing, which is good news if you’ve ever contemplated ending a Lego build after applying several dozen stickers.

For minifig fans, there’s a mini-build of the Executor’s bridge, complete with Darth Vader and six bounty hunters: Boba Fett, Dengar, Bossk, IG-88, 4-LOM and Zuckuss. All of which can argue who gets the window seat, before sadly realising there is no minifig-scale seat. Or ship, for that matter. (Perhaps just as well, given how insanely huge that would be.)

But my favourite aspect of the set might be two of the smaller inclusions. A to-scale Star Destroyer and an attached Millennium Falcon – represented as a 1×1 round tile(!) – really show off the Executor’s mammoth proportions. So, yes, the Force is strong with this one. Here’s hoping your shelves are too.
