LEGO's Ultimate Collector Series has produced plenty of record-breaking sets over the years, but 75457 Executor Super Star Destroyer just claimed the title outright.
At 136cm (53.5in) long, 50cm (20in) wide, and 20cm (7.5in) tall, it's now officially the longest LEGO set ever produced, built from 6,130 pieces across the ship itself, a display stand, and a bounty hunter bridge diorama.
Priced at $799.99 USD, the set launches with LEGO Insiders early access October 1, 2026, ahead of general release October 4, and early orders also come with a free gift that's drawing nearly as much attention as the ship.
Here's everything confirmed about the set, its minifigure lineup, and the limited-time Darth Vader lightsaber that ships alongside it.
At 136cm long, 75457 edges past every previous LEGO set, including LEGO's other record-setting adult models like the Eiffel Tower and Titanic, to claim the title of longest LEGO set ever produced.
The jump in width is actually more dramatic than the length increase, reaching 50cm across compared to earlier Super Star Destroyer models, giving the ship a noticeably wider silhouette than its predecessor.
The piece count covers the Executor model itself, its display stand, a smaller scale Star Destroyer side build for comparison, and a standalone bounty hunter bridge diorama.
Seven minifigures are included: Darth Vader alongside all six bounty hunters from his Empire Strikes Back briefing scene, Boba Fett, Dengar, Bossk, IG-88, 4-LOM, and Zuckuss, displayed together on their own diorama rather than tucked inside the ship. A LEGO minifigure display case is a practical way to keep that full bounty hunter lineup protected if it's ever displayed apart from the diorama base.
75457 Executor Super Star Destroyer is priced at $799.99 USD (£649.99 / €749.99), released to LEGO Insiders on October 1, 2026, with general release following October 4.
That price makes it one of the most expensive single LEGO sets currently on shelves, consistent with its position as the Ultimate Collector Series' new flagship-scale release. It also places the Executor above most other Star Wars UCS ships released over the past several years, reflecting both the piece count jump and the added bounty hunter diorama.
Every qualifying order of 75457 placed between October 1 and October 7, 2026, or while supplies last, comes with a free 40897 Darth Vader's Lightsaber, a separate 174-piece buildable hilt on its own display stand.
It follows the same gift-with-purchase pattern LEGO used for 40730 Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber and 40917 The Darksaber, making it the second buildable-hilt GWP of the year rather than a one-off promotion.
This is LEGO's first new Ultimate Collector Series take on the Executor since 2011's 10221 Super Star Destroyer, which ran 3,152 pieces and roughly 124.5cm long.
Nearly doubling the piece count while only modestly extending the length shows where LEGO actually spent the extra pieces: width, underside detail, and a more accurate hull taper rather than simply scaling the same shape up.
A model this long introduces real physics problems LEGO doesn't usually have to solve, particularly engine sagging on long, flat sections built from standard LEGO elements.
LEGO's design team tested the model for exactly that risk before release, a process worth understanding on its own before deciding how to display the finished ship long-term. For the bounty hunter diorama specifically, a 4-step acrylic display stand gives all seven minifigures a cleaner staggered presentation next to the ship.
75457 Executor Super Star Destroyer isn't the only major LEGO release hitting shelves around the same window; LEGO IDEAS also launched Downton Abbey and Wallace & Gromit through the same October 1 Insiders early-access structure, making this one of the busier single-week stretches on LEGO's 2026 release calendar.
That timing means collectors with a limited October budget are weighing a $799.99 record-breaking Star Wars ship against two much smaller IDEAS releases, a genuinely different kind of purchasing decision than comparing two sets within the same theme.

A free 40897 Darth Vader's Lightsaber, October 1-7, 2026, while supplies last.
Seven: Darth Vader and the six bounty hunters from The Empire Strikes Back.
The free 40897 Darth Vader's Lightsaber only ships with orders placed October 1-7, so timing matters here as much as budget. Start planning the bounty hunter diorama's display with a LEGO minifigure display case before the set even arrives.
