The most expensive LEGO set at launch: Death Star tops the list
The most expensive LEGO set in our database is the Death Star 75419, with a launch retail price of $999.99 / £899.99. The ranking covers the 100 sets with the most parts and uses launch prices only. Resale prices play no part in it.
The Death Star 75419 carries the highest launch price in our database
The Death Star 75419 is the most expensive LEGO set we list, at a launch retail price of $999.99 / £899.99. It went on sale in October 2025, holds 9,031 parts and comes with 39 minifigures. No other set in our ranking comes close.
The Millennium Falcon 75192 sits second at $849.99 / £734.99, with 7,541 parts. The AT-AT 75313 matches that launch price exactly, with 6,785 parts. After them the drop is steep: the Imperial Star Destroyer 75252 launched at $699.99 / £614.99, far below the Death Star.
So the top of the list is a Star Wars affair, followed by Icons and a Pokémon surprise. Price alone, though, says little about whether a set is worth it. That is what the rest of the ranking is for.
The ranking covers launch prices of the 100 biggest sets, nothing else
Here are the ground rules. We took the 100 sets with the most parts in our database. Of those, 30 have a launch retail price on record, and those prices come from Brickset. We rank them in dollars and show the pound price next to it. A set that only became expensive on the secondary market is not penalised or rewarded here: resale prices, discounts and current shelf prices are all excluded.
The price per part comes straight from our database, expressed in US dollars (USD) per part. Treat it as a yardstick, not a verdict. It ignores what the parts are, how many minifigures come in the box and how much you want the finished model.
Sale dates also come from Brickset. When an end date is later than today, 4 November 2026, the end is only announced and the set is not gone yet. When our database holds no sale dates for a set, we say nothing about its availability.
The top of the ranking runs from the Death Star to a 2007 Falcon

Ties explain the odd gaps. Three sets share $649.99 and two share $549.99. Seven sets launched at $499.99, and the list above stops at the first three of them. The others are the Hogwarts Express - Collectors' Edition 76405, the Death Star 75159, Jabba's Sail Barge 75397 and the Cat D11 Bulldozer 42131.
Star Wars takes the first four places on launch price
The Death Star 75419 leads, the Millennium Falcon 75192 and the AT-AT 75313 follow, and the Imperial Star Destroyer 75252 closes the quartet at $699.99 / £614.99. That is four Star Wars sets in a row before any other theme appears. Star Wars also owns the Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser 75367, The Razor Crest 75331, Jabba's Sail Barge 75397 and the older Death Star 75159.
The Millennium Falcon 75192 is the interesting case. Brickset dates it from October 2017, with an end announced for December 2026. That date is still ahead of us, so we call it an announced end, nothing more. The AT-AT 75313 has a recorded end in December 2024, and the Imperial Star Destroyer 75252 in December 2022.
The newest big one, the Death Star 75419, has a start in October 2025 and no end date in our database. We do not read that as a promise either way.
The Eiffel Tower, Colosseum and Titanic give the most parts for the money
Look at the price per part and the order flips. The Eiffel Tower 10307 and the Colosseum 10276 both come in at 0.06 USD per part, the lowest figures in our ranking. The Titanic 10294 follows at 0.07 USD. These are also the biggest builds by parts: 10,001 for the Eiffel Tower, 9,092 for the Titanic, 9,036 for the Colosseum.
Compare the Eiffel Tower with the Imperial Star Destroyer 75252. The tower has about 5,200 more parts and a lower launch price, $629.99 / £554.99 against $699.99 / £614.99. The Colosseum matches the Hulkbuster 76210 at $549.99 / £474.99, yet holds about 5,000 more parts.
A second tier sits at 0.08 USD per part. It includes The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith 11377 with 8,278 parts and 11 minifigures, Lord of the Rings: Rivendell 10316 with 6,181 parts and 19 minifigures, and The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dûr 10333 at $459.99 / £399.99 with 5,478 parts. Hogwarts Castle 71043 ($469.99 / £409.99, 6,020 parts) and Diagon Alley 75978 ($449.99 / £389.99, 5,548 parts) sit there too.
The Imperial Star Destroyer, Hulkbuster and Technic cars cost more for their size
The Imperial Star Destroyer 75252 is the priciest set per part in our ranking, at 0.15 USD, with 4,784 parts. The Hulkbuster 76210 is next at 0.14 USD, with 4,049 parts and a single minifigure. These two are the clearest cases of a big price on a mid-sized parts count.
At 0.13 USD per part you find the AT-AT 75313, Jabba's Sail Barge 75397 (3,943 parts, 10 minifigures), the Cat D11 Bulldozer 42131 (3,854 parts) and The Ministry of Magic - Collectors' Edition 76476 (3,545 parts, 15 minifigures). The Ministry of Magic set launched at $449.99 / £389.99 and is a 2026 release with no sale dates in our database.
Technic supercars cluster at 0.12 USD per part and $449.99 / £389.99. The McLaren P1 42172 has 3,893 parts, the Ferrari Daytona SP3 42143 has 3,778 and the Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 42115 has 3,696. None includes a minifigure. The Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear Megacar 42232 and the Liebherr R 9800 Excavator 42100 do slightly better at 0.11 USD, with 4,104 and 4,108 parts.
The Cat D11 Bulldozer 42131 also stands out for its dates: Brickset lists a sale window from October 2021 to December 2021 only.
A high price does not buy the biggest minifigure crowd
The Death Star 75419 does bring 39 minifigures, the most in the ranking. After that the link between price and figures breaks down. Avengers Tower 76269 has 28 minifigures at $499.99 / £429.99. The older Death Star 75159 has 23 at the same launch price, and the Hogwarts Express - Collectors' Edition 76405 has 20.
Meanwhile the Titanic 10294, the Eiffel Tower 10307 and the Colosseum 10276 have none at all. Neither does Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise 72153, which launched at $649.99 / £579.99 with 6,838 parts. If you want a crowded display, the cheaper Diagon Alley 75978 brings 17 minifigures for $449.99 / £389.99.
The Lord of the Rings sets show the same logic. Rivendell 10316 has 19 minifigures for $499.99 / £429.99, while Minas Tirith 11377 has 11 for $649.99 / £579.99 and far more parts.
Recent launches and two odd entries complete the picture
Recent years dominate the upper end. The Death Star 75419 arrived in 2025. So did the Tropical Aquarium 10366, which launched at $479.99 / £399.99 with 4,154 parts and 0 minifigures. In 2026 came Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise 72153, Minas Tirith 11377 and the Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear Megacar 42232.
The oldest entry is the Millennium Falcon 10179, from 2007, at $499.99 / £342.49 with 5,198 parts. Its pound price is the lowest of any $499.99 set in the ranking, and its sale ran from October 2007 to December 2009 according to Brickset.
The Window Exploration Bag 2000409 is the oddity. It is filed under Educational and Dacta, dated 2010 in our database, and shows $484.99 / £314.99 for 5,200 parts and one minifigure. It carries no sale dates, so we make no claim about it beyond those numbers.
The ranking by piece count is under the biggest LEGO sets.
Our take
The Death Star 75419 deserves its crown, and its 0.11 USD per part is fair for 9,031 parts and 39 minifigures. The real bargains are elsewhere: the Eiffel Tower 10307, the Colosseum 10276 and the Titanic 10294 pack the most parts for the least per brick. The Imperial Star Destroyer 75252 and the Hulkbuster 76210 are the ones we would think twice about. A ranking by price tag is fun, but price per part is where the useful reading starts.
