“75252 Imperial Star Destroyer has exceeded my expectations and I think other LEGO Star Wars fans may share this opinion after experiencing its sheer scale. This is undoubtedly the definitive rendition of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer.”
Full review at brickset.com
“Between the scale and high piece count (which tops even the 2011 Ultimate Collector Series Super Star Destroyer), a LOT of work was done to make this one stand out among the 16 years' worth of Star Destroyer entries in the LEGO Star Wars line. The instruction guide itself... More (presented in three languages including English, French, and Spanish) is basically one part collector's art book.”
Full review at ttpm.com
Blocks Magazine Issue 63
“It’s way too expensive no matter how you slice it, but that doesn’t make it any less brilliant a feat of LEGO engineering. If your annual LEGO budget will be decimated by a set of this size, you’ll be better served in both the build and display departments by multiple... More smaller sets, particularly if you’re struggling to think where you might keep it on show. If you can make the room for it both physically and financially, though, there’s little doubt that 75252 is an eye-catching, hugely impressive model that will turn the heads of anyone who sees it. Twenty years is long enough for any theme to warrant redesigns, and this is a set that truly warrants its existence, if not its price.”
 

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/sealed value of $5,832.
Summary
Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series Imperial Star Destroyer set 75252 was released in October 2019, retailing for $700, but has since been retired. New, unopened Imperial Star Destroyer sets are valued at $1,450, while used sets can be found for $764 in good condition.
