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.
2020 LEGO Sets
In 2020, LEGO thrived despite global disruptions, debuting several new lines for both families and adult fans. LEGO Super Mario introduced interactive, course-building play; Monkie Kid launched with a modern take on Journey to the West; and creative-focused ranges such as DOTS, LEGO Art, and Brick Sketches broadened display and craft appeal. Creator Expert (later Icons) and Ideas delivered standout display sets, anchoring a strong year for collectors.
