“This is a monumental set in a number of ways. First the build is very lengthy but rewarding and secondly the size of the finished product is huge. A whooping 42cm x 42cm x 43cm high.”

“It is a set for the lovers of Star Wars™, although its price can be a problem for some people. It reproduces mythical scenes from the saga. The selection of minifigs will make the most avid collectors happy. It has a multitude of mechanisms and movable elements, which give... More the set some playability.”

About Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series

The Ultimate Collector Series, or UCS, holds the large display versions of Star Wars ships, vehicles and places. It began in 2000 with 7181 TIE Interceptor and 7191 X-wing Fighter. The designer of that first X-wing gave it a black stand and a printed information plaque to show it was a model to display rather than a toy, and the stand and plaque have been part of the series ever since.

Ultimate Collector Series was introduced in 2000 and currently consists of 45 sets. As of today, 10018 Darth Maul is the most valuable Ultimate Collector Series set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $4,417.
