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.
2022 LEGO Sets
In 2022, LEGO celebrated its 90th anniversary, marking nearly a century of creativity and innovation. Special tribute sets revived beloved classics like Castle and Space with modern techniques, delighting longtime fans. LEGO Avatar launched alongside the release of Avatar: The Way of Water, bringing Pandora’s world to life in brick form, while the LEGO BrickHeadz line broadened with more licensed characters. Core themes such as Star Wars, City, and Technic continued to perform strongly. Sustainability milestones included expanding the use of recycled plastics in elements and packaging, underscoring LEGO’s enduring commitment to environmental responsibility.
