Unveiling the New Flagship Build
The LEGO Group announced the release of the Ultimate Collector Series (UCS) Executor Super Star Destroyer, set 75457. With 6,130 pieces, the model measures over 136 cm (53.5 in) in length, 50 cm (20 in) wide and 20 cm (7.5 in) tall, and weighs more than 5 kg (11 lb). The set is priced at $799.99 (£649.99; €749.99) and is targeted at adult collectors aged 18 and over.
Background & Record-Breaking Context
Earlier in 2026, the LEGO Group’s Sagrada Familia set (21065) set a record for piece count with 12,060 elements. The Executor does not surpass that count, but its length makes it the longest LEGO Star Wars model ever produced, edging out the previous longest, the Titanic set (10294), by 1 cm. The design follows the earlier UCS Executor (75356) released in 2023 for the Return of the Jedi 40th-anniversary, which contained 6,130 pieces as well.
Specifications & Build Details
- Pieces: 6,130
- Dimensions: 136 cm × 50 cm × 20 cm (length × width × height)
- Weight: >5 kg (?11 lb)
- Price: $799.99 (£649.99; €749.99)
- Availability: In LEGO Stores and online from October 1, 2026; general ordering begins October 4, 2026.
A newly designed tile is employed 60 times to create “organic random lights” across the hull, and a 1 × 1 round tile represents a miniature Millennium Falcon for scale.
Minifigures & Exclusive Features
The set includes seven minifigures: Darth Vader and, for the first time in a single LEGO set, all six bounty hunters—Boba Fett, 4-LOM, Bossk, Zuckuss, Dengar (with a refreshed backpack) and IG-88 (with a newly molded head). A dedicated bridge section lets builders recreate the iconic scene where Vader meets the bounty hunters.
A Gift with Purchase (GWP) is offered to LEGO Insiders who buy the set between October 1 and October 10, 2026: the buildable Darth Vader Lightsaber (40897), a 174-piece set that includes a display stand and printed nameplate. The lightsaber set is slated to retire on December 31, 2026.
Official LEGO Statements
The LEGO Group describes the Executor as “the company’s longest model ever” and highlights the use of Technic outriggers for structural integrity.
Impact on the Adult Collector Market
Analysts note that the high price point, extensive piece count, and exclusive minifigure lineup make the set a potential investment piece, with secondary-market speculation that the minifigures could retain or increase value. The inclusion of a GWP further incentivizes early purchase among LEGO Insiders, creating a limited-time collector’s incentive.
