Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“As far as Star Wars sets go, this one is outperforming the overall theme's annual growth by about 70% making 75159 LEGO The Death Star a pretty good investment.”
Review brought to you by BrickEconomy Bot
“Creating one Death Star with famous settings from multiple movies is really unique. The set's figures, like the Emperor and multiple Luke minifigures, also makes it possible to recreate scenes from multiple Star Wars movies for hours of imaginative play. This Death Star is... More going to be the center piece of any LEGO Star Wars collection.”

“Humongous and amazing Lego set; contains everything you need to reenact every scene from the Death Star. One of the best sets ever!”
“I like the Death Star, but I do kind of wish the changes from 10188 were more significant. I like most of the changes, but all the colorful Technic pieces when 10188 had mostly monochromatic ones is definitely a step back. The change I think this set needs the most is to use... More slopes to create a curved shape for the walls.”
