LEGO Death Star: Every Set Compared, From Giant to Small

The 2025 giant is the biggest Death Star by a distance

Set 75419 Death Star arrived in October 2025 with 9,031 parts and 39 minifigures. Its launch retail price, according to Brickset, was $999.99 / £899.99. That makes it the largest set in our database for this theme, and it is not close.

The nearest rival is 75159 Death Star from 2016, at 4,024 parts. The newer set carries about 5,000 more parts. Count the minifigures and the story is similar: 39 against 23.

Our database lists no end date for 75419. We will not call it available or retired on that basis. We only know when sales began.

Buy it if you want one centrepiece and you have the room. Skip it if you want a quick build or a modest shelf footprint. A set this size is a commitment, and the price reflects it.

Fourteen sets carry the Death Star name between 2005 and 2025

The list below runs from the largest to the smallest by part count. Prices are launch retail prices from Brickset, copied as listed. Two sets have no launch price in our database, so none is shown.

The gap between the fourth and fifth rows is the real divide. Above it, you buy a station. Below it, you buy a moment from the station.

Three older giants still hold up as playsets

Before 2025, the station meant 75159 Death Star. It launched in October 2016 with 4,024 parts, 23 minifigures and a launch retail price of $499.99 / £409.99. Sales ended in December 2020, according to our database.

Its predecessor, 10188 Death Star, came out in September 2008 with 3,807 parts and 21 minifigures. It cost $399.99 / £274.99 at launch. The 2016 set is only about 200 parts bigger, so the jump between them was modest. The 2008 set stopped selling in December 2010.

Then there is 10143 Death Star II from 2005. It has 3,461 parts, about 350 fewer than the 2008 set, and no minifigures at all. Its launch price was $269.99 / £249.99. It is a model, not a playset, and it was on sale from September 2005 to December 2007.

All three are out of production on those dates. If you want one, you are shopping the second-hand market, and our database holds no price for that. Do not pay a figure you cannot check against a source.

The scene sets pick one moment and build it well

Two of the sets recreate the Final Duel. 75093 Death Star Final Duel came first, in June 2015, with 724 parts and 4 minifigures. Its launch retail price was $79.99 / £69.99.

75291 Death Star Final Duel followed in August 2020 with 775 parts and 4 minifigures. Its launch retail price was $99.99 / £89.99. The newer one has only slightly more parts. The same scene, rebuilt five years later.

The 2022 pair is different. 75339 Death Star Trash Compactor Diorama has 802 parts and 6 minifigures, launched at $89.99 / £79.99. It is the scene where the heroes are trapped in the garbage room of the first station. 75329 Death Star Trench Run Diorama has 665 parts, no minifigures and a launch price of $69.99 / £59.99. Both were on sale from April 2022 to December 2023.

These are the sets for people who love one scene more than the whole sphere. They are also easier to display. A diorama sits on a shelf. A station needs a plan.

The small sets cost little and cover a lot of ground

At the bottom you find six sets under 330 parts. 75229 Death Star Escape, launched at $29.99 / £24.99, has 329 parts and 4 minifigures. It was on sale only during 2019, so its window was short.

75246 Death Star Cannon, launched at $19.99 / £17.99, has 159 parts and 2 minifigures.

75034 Death Star Troopers, launched at $12.99 / £11.99, has 100 parts and 3 minifigures.

The smallest is 9676 TIE Interceptor & Death Star, launched at $9.99 / £9.99, with 65 parts and 1 minifigure.

Two sets carry no launch price in our database. 40591 Death Star II has 289 parts and was on sale from May to December 2023. 40407 Death Star II Battle has 235 parts and was on sale from May to December 2020. Neither includes a minifigure, so they are pure display pieces.

None of these will fill a shelf. They work as extras: a second station to sit beside a bigger set, or a cheap way to own something with the name on the box.

Pick by shelf space and by what you want to build

If you want the definitive Death Star and have the budget, take 75419 Death Star. Nothing else comes within about 5,000 parts of it. If the price is the sticking point, 75159 Death Star is the sensible second choice, but it is out of production, so you will hunt for it.

If you collect minifigures, the numbers speak. 75419 has 39, 75159 has 23 and 10188 has 21. The 2005 model has none, so skip 10143 Death Star II if figures matter to you.

If you want one scene, choose by the scene. Trash compactor fans want 75339. Trench run fans want 75329. Duel fans can compare 75291 and 75093, and the newer one has slightly more parts, while both have 4 minifigures.

If you have little space, buy small. 75229 Death Star Escape is the best value among the cheap sets on parts and minifigures for its launch price. 75246 Death Star Cannon is a fine desk piece.
