The Death Star, the Empire’s planet-annihilating battlestation, has long been the Holy Grail of Lego Star Wars fans. The latest set, the Lego Star Wars UCS Death Star, is a 9,000-plus-piece and usually costs £900. It’s the biggest and most expensive Lego Star Wars set ever made, but thanks to Amazon’s Spring Deal Days, it’s an astonishing £135 off!
You can get this Lego Star Wars UCS Death Star on sale right now at Amazon UK for £765.

This set may not be cheap but it’s absolute packed with Death Star detail
What’s not to love about this Lego Star Wars UCS Death Star set? The £900 price tag, mainly, but thanks to Amazon UK’s Spring Deal Days, you can save 15% on this set, which translates to a wallet-pleasing £135 off.
A vertical slice of the original Death Star, with a few scenes from Return of the Jedi thrown in, we think it’s one of the best Lego Star Wars UCS sets. It boasts an astonishing 38 minifigures and is split into sections, each of the figures acting out a scene from the movie, such as Luke swinging through the Death Star with Leia. Probably best not to think about that kiss, though.
With just over 9,000 pieces, it’ll take you more than an afternoon to put together and, rated for builders aged 18+, it’s not a child-friendly build. Measuring at 28 in (70cm) and 32 in (79cm) tall, it’s a monster. But, there’s some play potential here, but we’d suggest you supervise any Star Wars adventures since, while stable, we still worry about younger builders being too rough and having this topple over.
But if you’re an adult fan of Lego, Star Wars, or both, this is an absolutely stunning piece. Just grab it while you can; Star Wars is popular, and we expect this deal to join the Force soon. Amazon UK’s Spring Deal Days run from 10 March to 16 March, so check in with us for more money-saving deals.
