Lego has released its largest Star Wars set, the Imperial Star Destroyer, for purchase in Singapore. The model, measuring over one meter long, is part of the Ultimate Collector Series and priced at S$1,099.90. It includes detailed features and minifigures inspired by the original Star Wars film.
The Imperial Star Destroyer, nicknamed the Devastator, became available on October 3, 2019, in all Lego-certified stores across Singapore. First announced the previous month, this set marks Lego's longest Star Wars offering to date, spanning 110 cm in length, 44 cm in height, and 66 cm in width when displayed on its stand.
As part of the Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series, the 4,784-piece model recreates Darth Vader's flagship from A New Hope. Builders can construct a buildable Tantive IV ship, the vessel intercepted by the Devastator in the film. Key features include swivelling guns, a tilting radar dish, large engine exhausts, and detailed surface patterning along its extensive body. The set also comes with a display stand featuring an informational plaque, plus two minifigures: an Imperial Officer and an Imperial Crew Member, each armed with blasters.
This release targets dedicated Star Wars and Lego enthusiasts, requiring ample display space due to its size. In a related announcement, Lego introduced the Technic Land Rover Defender set, a 2,573-piece model developed with Land Rover. Measuring 42 cm long, 22 cm high, and 20 cm wide, it incorporates realistic elements like a four-wheel drive system with three differentials, independent suspension, a working winch, and a sophisticated four-speed sequential gearbox. Additional details include body panels and rims with Land Rover emblems, a functional steering wheel, detailed dashboard, and forward-folding rear seats. Priced at S$299.90, it launched ahead of the actual vehicle's Singapore debut in March 2020, appealing to model car builders with its engineering focus.
