The quick list

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It's since been superseded by newer sets in terms of piece count, but it's still the joint most-expensive Lego set you can buy.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

It's far from the first Lego Millennium Falcon — in fact, it's not even the only Millennium Falcon on this list — but none others come close in terms of detail and scale. Those other ones? They are absolutely dwarfed by this thing if you see them side-to-side. 

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 that just makes it look more like the real thing.

If we had to criticize it at all? We wish there were more minifigures with it . Some Lego Star Wars sets have dozens but there's only seven here, including two versions of Han Solo. Some more unique minifigs would have been nice to see. Other than that, though, the Millennium Falcon is one of the best Lego sets of all time, not just from the Star Wars range, and if you can stomach its price tag, it's an absolute must-buy.

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.

This Lego model does the original source material some real justice. Measuring 43 inches (109cm) in length, it packs in a lot of detail, from its engine array to an imposing command tower. Its striking use of red color helps break up the gray bricks too: Something we don't see too often on Star Wars sets, and just one of the reasons why the Venator is so iconic.

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 "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.

Unfortunately, some other parts of the ship are somewhat flimsy during the building phase. We found the nose in particular was unstable, and was easily knocked until everything came together. For that reason, we wouldn't necessarily recommend this as a plaything: It's better sat safely on a shelf with its included stand.

It also 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.

Mos Eisley Cantina

Few Lego Star Wars sets are as impressive in size and scope as Lego Star Wars Mos Eisley Cantina. This gargantuan set really gives you a sense of the scale of the actual Mos Eisley Cantina, the Tatooine tavern that we were first introduced to in A New Hope. 

From the outside, the set might not look like much, but once you open it up you'll be wowed by just how much detail has been packed in inside. It opens like a book, revealing two sides of the cantina with a bar in the middle. There are seating booths complete with tables a chairs and the bar is fully-stocked with myriad bottles and jars.

Outside of the building you'll find a space to dock your landspeeder and Dewback — both of which are included in the Lego Star Wars Mos Eisley Cantina — and plenty more details. 

One of our favorite things about this set, though, is the fact it comes with 21 minifigures. There's the full range of iconic characters here including Obi-Wan, Chewbacca, Ponda Baba and R2-D2, so you can use them to recreate all kinds of memorable scenes from A New Hope. 

In our Lego Star Wars Mos Eisley Cantina review, we called this set "an utter masterpiece", and that's something we stand by. Sure, it's not cheap, but there's so much joy to be had from playing with this set, no matter how old you are.

AT-TE Walker

A new Lego AT-TE Walker has been at the top of Lego Star Wars fans' wishlists for years, and finally, Lego has delivered. The Lego Star Wars AT-TE Walker doesn't disappointed, either: it's the best AT-TE we've ever had, and offers just about everything we could have asked for.

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 think it's a great build, too. It's surprisingly quick, given the set is made up of 1,082 pieces — although that's perhaps just because we enjoyed putting it together so much. Spread over six bags, everything feels methodical and logical, and there are some great building techniques used throughout.

There's a nice selection of minifigures here too, and it's one of the only sets you'll find Commander Cody in.

Luke Skywalker's Landspeeder

Forget the near-$800 price tag of the likes of the Ultimate Collector's Series AT-AT and Millennium Falcon. This is one of our favorite UCS sets currently available, and the main reason is its reasonable price tag. At $239.99, it feels practically a bargain in comparison, and while it might not be as big or piece-heavy, it's every bit as detailed as its counterparts, earning its UCS badge with gusto.

It is true that we've had multiple Landspeeders since Lego started making Star Wars sets back in 1999. In our Luke Skywalker's Landspeeder review we noted there'd been at least 11 X-34 Landspeeders made, which is rather astronomical. None are a patch on this one, however, which dwarfs the lot of them with its sheer size and scale.

Obviously, this isn't minifigure-sized but it does come with two: Luke Skywalker and C-3PO, who make a great addition to the information plaque fixed to the set's stand. They may be lost in the cockpit but as an extra bit of detail we're glad they're there.

Our only real complaint about this set is that the building process can be a little repetitive at times, particularly when you get onto the engines. Putting three almost-identical engines together is tedious, but they at least look fantastic when built.

R2-D2

For a droid that’s so famous for being shiny and smooth, we were very impressed by just how well R2-D2 fits the Lego style. Smartly built, this model not only leans back like the droid himself thanks to his retractable mid-leg, but can also open and extend his front hatches, pop out a moveable periscope, and rotate his head. Oh, and inside his head you'll find a secret compartment containing Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber. How neat is that?

It’s an expensive set at over $200, but there are few more beloved and recognizable Star Wars characters and it’ll make a stunning centerpiece in any Star Wars fan’s home. In our Lego Star Wars R2-D2 review, we praised the set as a display piece — but suggested it might not make the best playset due to being rather fragile.

Plus, who doesn’t want their very own sassy droid sidekick? It’s also a fun build that combines some unique building techniques in order to accurately portray R2-D2 as the three-legged space dustbin he is. 

If you love R2-D2 but don't want to spend quite so much, there's a brand new, slightly smaller model now available. Costing $99.99, the new Lego R2-D2 is made up of 1,050 pieces and a slightly easier build, catering for kids — it's rated ages 10+, so it's more suited to beginners. And it still comes with a display plaque, giving it the appearance of a UCS set.

Millennium Falcon

Would you like a Millennium Falcon Lego set that doesn’t require you to move into a new five-bedroom house to store it? Or one that doesn't require you to remortgage your house in order to buy it? Well, you’re in luck. This new Millennium Falcon was released in 2019 alongside Rise of Skywalker.

That means it's been around for almost five years now, but Lego shows no sign of retiring it just yet, which we're thrilled about. It's a great midi-sized Millennium Falcon, giving those of us who can't afford the giant behemoth further up this list a valid option that still looks fantastic. 

As we picked up in our Lego Star Wars Millennium Falcon review, the minifigure selection here is a bit of a mixed bag, however. On the one hand, it’s cool to get an older Lando, but on the other, a Millennium Falcon without Han Solo just feels wrong. 

If you want a Millennium Falcon with an even smaller price tag, Lego has just released a brand new version as part of its Lego Star Wars 25th Anniversary range. The 2024 Millennium Falcon costs $84.99 and with 921 pieces, it's hardly a slouch. It comes on a display stand, built to a similar scale as the Executor Super Star Destroyer, which you'll also find on this list.

Executor Super Star Destroyer

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. Lego's come up with the perfect solution: Star Wars sets aimed at adults, designed to be displayed, but costing a fraction of the price. 

The Executor Super Star Destroyer is the first in (hopefully) a long line 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, it's instantly recognizable as a Super Star Destroyer. It even has two micro-sized regular Star Destroyers flying alongside it to give it some scale, which we absolutely love. 

Despite not having an interior, there's plenty of detail on the top of the ship thanks to a creative array of bricks and some really neat building techniques. We particularly like the back, too, where you'll find a series of engines glowing red. 

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's just $60 and 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. 

This is still primarily a playset, however, and as such, it lacks much of the detail we'd expect from a higher-priced set aimed at adults. 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.
