The Longest LEGO Star Wars Set Ever Built

LEGO just announced the set Ultimate Collector Series fans have wanted since the original 2011 model showed its age: the Executor Super Star Destroyer (75457), a 6,130-piece, 136cm-long rebuild of Darth Vader’s flagship, out October 1, 2026 at $799.99 / £649.99 / €749.99.

Why It Matters for Dads

We’ve already reviewed the Executor Super Star Destroyer (75356) that LEGO released as a compact, budget-friendly midi model — a smart 630-piece display piece that traded scale for practicality by design. This is the opposite trade. At 6,130 pieces and 136cm, the 75457 is a genuine UCS flagship, engineered with a LEGO System core and slender Technic outriggers to hold that length without bulk, and it comes with a companion Star Destroyer built to scale plus a tiny Millennium Falcon on a single round tile — a nice touch that sells how enormous the Executor is meant to feel.

The minifigure lineup is the other headline: Darth Vader and all six bounty hunters from The Empire Strikes Back — Boba Fett, Dengar, Bossk, IG-88, 4-LOM and Zuckuss — together in one set for the first time, staged on a minifigure-scale bridge scene. That is a real “finally” moment for anyone who has collected these characters piecemeal across a decade of sets.

The 6,130-piece, 136cm Ultimate Collector Series flagship — Darth Vader and all six bounty hunters, plus a companion Star Destroyer built to scale. $799.99, out October 1, 2026.

The honest catch is the one every UCS flagship carries: $799.99 and 136cm of shelf space is a real commitment, not an impulse buy, and it will only get harder to find room for once it’s built. If you want a true UCS-scale Star Wars capital ship without waiting for October, our UCS Venator-Class Attack Cruiser review covers the current metre-scale flagship in the line.

What’s Next

Pre-orders aren’t confirmed yet beyond the October 1 on-sale date, and buying direct from LEGO.com or a LEGO Store in the first week (October 1-7) gets a free Darth Vader’s Lightsaber (40897) while stocks last. We’ll build and review it once it’s in hand — the open questions are how it displays in a normal room and whether the bridge scene lives up to the “detailed” billing LEGO’s press release gives it.

The Dadnology Take

This is the UCS Star Destroyer the 2011 original always deserved — genuinely huge, engineered smart, and finally reuniting all six bounty hunters. $799.99 and 136cm are real costs, so this is a saga-fan centrepiece, not a casual pickup. If you loved the small 75356, this is the set that actually earns the name Super Star Destroyer.

How many pieces is the new LEGO Executor (75457)?

6,130 pieces, rated 18+. At over 53.5 inches (136cm) long it is the longest LEGO Star Wars brick-built model ever released — a centimetre longer than 10294 Titanic.

How much does the LEGO Executor (75457) cost and when does it release?

$799.99 / £649.99 / €749.99, available from LEGO.com and LEGO Stores starting October 1, 2026. Buy direct from LEGO.com or a LEGO Store between October 1-7 and LEGO throws in the Darth Vader’s Lightsaber set (40897) free while stocks last.

Is the new 75457 different from the older 75356 Executor?

Completely. The 75356 we reviewed is a compact 630-piece midi display model with no minifigures. The 75457 is a true Ultimate Collector Series build at 6,130 pieces, with seven minifigures and a detailed bridge scene.
