Disappointing rehash
on October 23, 2016
Posted by: DDDDD
This is a rehash of the previous Death Star.
Lego tweaked a few details, added 2 minifigs and issued this as a "new" model.
Very disappointing, especially considering a $100 (20%) increase in price.

Over priced for what it is
on October 8, 2016

To me, any Star wars UCS set is for display and collecting, not playability. This set is my sixth UCS set and is a good display piece but it out of proportion. I would much rather see the death star II set #10143 have the design flaws fixed and rereleased as it is a much better looking set

One of the Best Legos of All Time
on October 8, 2018
Posted by: laijun617
This lego is really cool, and comes with a lot of minifigs, but it's 500 bucks for a little over 4000 pieces, so the value is really bad. I think there weren't enough Stormtroopers and Imperial Officers.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nothing new for old fans
on October 10, 2016
Posted by: Noodle009
Disappointed in this set as there is not much design difference to its predecessor. Great for the extra pieces but not at this price...
To be honest Lego probably have better response if they re-lease the SW UCS Millennium Falcon 10179.

Our favorite set so far
on October 16, 2016
Posted by: TxRanger
The best part of any LEGO set is the time spent with my son building them. The Death Star has been great to build and even more fun for my son to play out each of the scenes for hours. Having missed out on earlier versions, I wasn't going to pass this one up. Sure, it's an investment, yet worth every penny to see the enjoyment it brings.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So much to love!
on November 14, 2016
Posted by: Meezlers
I am so confused by the negative reviews! Lego is in a tough position because people who did not purchase the previous set probably want a lot of the figures and features of the set that they missed out on. Had Lego designed a drastically different Death Star, those of us who do not have the original set would truly be missing out on incomparable play value! I for one cannot stand it when I have to navigate the secondary market to get figures and sets that my kids really want but that are no longer available. I appreciate this is set for everything that it offers, and I would advise anyone who is interested in a Death Star to go for it!
If I had to come up with one criticism, it is that the set is only available at Lego.com. Maybe this will change once it has been around longer.
I would recommend this to a friend!

tick box set
on October 15, 2016
Posted by: Ricky79
For me this whole set was just a tick box exercise to have a death star with the Disney logo on the box. lets be clear this is simply the previous death star re-branded and re-packaged. I was hoping for something new or significantly bigger and better. 250 pieces more in my eyes is not that. For me this was a great opportunity wasted and smacks of pure laziness
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

New Death Star 75159
on September 30, 2016
Posted by: Timtay
This set is very poor value for money, far to expensive for what is after all a rehash of an old set!

Response from LEGOBy Haley - Consumer Service Specialist, Consumer Services, October 3, 2016
We're really sorry to hear you're unhappy with your new Death Star™. Our new Death Star does have several changes and modifications from its predecessor that we were hoping our fans (and The Empire) would enjoy. We understand that this set is one of our more costly items and I've passed along your feedback about the price!
Thank you for the honest feedback!
