LEGO Star Wars Death Star 75159 Death Star 4016 Parts

Product Information

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 build becomes more challenging once you start putting together the battle station’s upper platforms divided into separate rooms equipped with different mechanisms that enable you to open doors, rotate the turbolaser turret, or move the walls of the trash compactor.

The designers did a good job approximating the rounded shape of the model at this scale, and I doubt it could’ve been done better without using unnecessarily complex or unstable techniques. Two years after its exit, The Death Star 75159 is still one of the biggest Ultimate Collector’s Series Star Wars sets. The set measures a full 25 inches (65 cm) high and 19 inches (50 cm) wide (including the stand) and includes 3,449 pieces, more than any other set at that time. 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: Although it can be used as a display model, the Death Star 75159 is mainly a playset designed to recreate scenes from Star Wars movies accurately. Price and Value

The Ins and Outs of the LEGO Death Star 75159 Set

This set contains eight unique Minifigures, including Princess Leia, Grand Moff Tarkin, and Death Star Troopers. Blaster pistols, lightsabers, and similar accessories are also available. The set has been discontinued for over 8 years, since the set has not sold nearly as well as its even more expensive cousin, 10188 Death Star.

Of course, the Death Star II remains the focus and I am satisfied with the rounded shape, given the scale. 2x4 wedge plates fit together around the outside, connected to the segmented central structure using clips. The onscreen battle station is obviously closer to spherical, but I think the incomplete sections create the impression of curvature. 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. LEGO hasn’t released a suitable substitute for the Death Star 75159 set after retiring it in 2020. Recent models like Death Star Trench Run Diorama 75329 or Death Star Trash Compactor Diorama 75339 recreate a small section of the orbital battle station.The set had 14 Minifigures, including Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Wes Janson. Millennium Falcon 75192 The Ultimate Collector’s Series usually features build-to-display sets that don’t offer much play value. The most recent Death Star model is an exception because it provides builders with a giant playground where they can reenact scenes from Star Wars movies.
