Top 10 Lego Star Wars UCS Set





The Lego Star Wars theme doesn't just make minifugre scale and playsets based on vehicles and locations from the highly popular Star Wars franchise but also produces a wide range of highly detailed and larger scale sets targeted to an adult collector audience. Today we take a look back at the Lego Star Wars UCS line and choose our top 10 sets.



10 - 10277 B-Wing - 1487 pieces - £169.99





I have always been a fan of the B-Wing design and own the newest version of the iconic ship in regular scale sets, but the UCS B-wing is an absolutely stunning version including a highly detailed exterior, a rotating cockpit located at the top of the vehicle and a display stand allowing you to display the vehicle in flight, which is honestly one of the best ways to display the set. The set doesn't include any minifugres unlike newer UCS sets but the detailing sure makes up for that.


9 - 75144 Snowspeeder - 1703 pieces - £169.99




There have been two iterations of the UCS Snowspeeder but 75144 is without a doubt the best version of the set. The set features a highly detailed version of the vehicle with an opening detailed cockpit, a rotating harpoon gun on the rear of the vehicle and two opening dorsal fins. The set also includes two minifugers Will Scotian and Zev Senesca (two rebel pilots). The set also includes a display stand allowing you to angle the Snowspeeder for display. 



8 - 75181 Y-Wing - 1967 pieces - £169.99





The Y-Wing is a classic Rebellion starfighter used as a bomber during the Galactic Civil War. Set 75181 is a stunning set and is the best version of the Y-Wing we have received to date, obviously with a larger price bracket comes a lot more pieces to use as detailing and the Y-Wing is no exception with some stunning use of grebbling, and of course a display stand and plaque to allow you to display the set in flight mode. The set comes with two minifugres John Vander (rebel pilot) and R2-BDH. 



7 - 75095 Tie Fighter - 1685 pieces - £179.99





Set 75095 Tie Fighter is one of the most detailed Tie Fighters we have ever received obviously due to its much large scale. Whilst the build itself is rather repetitive with the duel classic Tie Fighter wing design but it can't take away from the fact that it looks amazing on display. The set comes with one minifigure a Tie Pilot and a nice display plaque with information about the vehicle itself.



6 - 10221 Super Star Destroyer - 3152 pieces - £349.99




The Super Star Destroyer is up there with some of the largest Lego Star Wars UCS sets. This is a fantastic interpretation of Darth Vaders Executioner Super Star Destroyer seen in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of Jedi. The set features a display stand to elevate the model and a small Star Destroyer bridge interior where you can place the minfigures. The set contains five minfigures including Darth Vader, Bossk, Dengar, IG-88 and Admiral Piett, and also includes a to scale Star Destroyer.



5 - 10212 Imperial Shuttle -2503 pieces - £245.99





The Imperial Shuttle rounds out the top 5 of our UCS Lego Star Wars Set, going against the traditional grey vehicles we are used to seeing and the white colour design stands out against other UCS sets. The vehicle features an opening cockpit and the wings are connected using hinged pieces allowing you to display the set in a landing position and in flight mode. The set contains Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Stormtrooper and an Imperial officer.  


4 - Ultimate Collectors Millennium Falcon - 5197 pieces - £342.99






The first and original version of the Millennium Falcon in UCS scale is the envy of most Lego Star Wars fans collection. This 5197 is without a doubt one of best UCS sets going. Not only is the set one of the largest Lego UCS sets but it is a highly detailed model of the famous Millennium Falcon. The set comes with five minifugres including Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca and Obi-Wan-Kenobi.



3 - 75252 Imperial Star Destroyer - 4784 pieces - £649.99





Rounding out the top three is the UCS Imperial Style Destroyer. This is the second iteration of the classic Star Destroyer and is without a doubt the better of the two models. Coming in at 4784 pieces allowed for an incredible detailed model include loads of cool features including canons and a highly detailed bridge area at the top of the Star Destroyer, the set also has a built in handle to help move the ship around. The set comes with two minfigures an Imperial crew member and a Imperial officer and a display stand and plaque. 



2 - 75060 Slave 1 - 1996 pieces - £179.99




The top two places in the top 10 UCS set was an extremely difficult to decide but in out number 2 slot is 75060 Slave 1. This is without a doubt the best version of the Slave 1 we have ever received from Lego. The set is stunning on display features rotating wings and duel front blasters. The set comes with Boba Fett, Han Solo, Bespin guard and a Stormtrooper, all in which are highly detailed. This is without a doubt one of the best UCS sets out there. 



1 - 75192 - Millennuim Falcon - 7541 pieces - £649.99 




Of course the number one slot on the top 10 has to go to the newest Millennium Flacon. The set in my opinion is a vast improvement over the original set and features a much more sleek version of the Falcon. The set features interchangeable radar dish allowing you to change from the original trilogy Falcon to the sequel trilogy Falcon. This version all contains some interior areas as well which the previous Falcon didn't. The set contains a wide selection of minifigures such as Han Solo (Empire Strikes Back), Han Solo (Force Awakens), Princess Leia, Chewbacca, Rey, Finn, C3PO, 2x Porgs and a brickbuilt Mynock. This is the crown jewl in any Lego Star Wars fans collection.
