Ultimate lego star wars collection
Обновлено: 28.04.2024
Between the dozens of small-scale LEGO Star Wars sets that come out every year, the Ultimate Collectors Series is the line which delivers large-scale sets with complicated builds and extreme details to the most dedicated fans of the franchise. Because of this the majority of the LEGO UCS sets are widely considered as LEGO sets for adults, or AFOL’s (Adult fans of LEGO).
Every year, fans theorise about what the next possible set may be. There are countless iconic ships that have yet to be made into a UCS set and in the fall off 2019, we finally got the remake of the Imperial Star Destroyer from October 2002. Therefore, we decided to make a list of the 10 Best Ultimate Collectors Series sets.
With over 30 sets that have already been created, we have received both flawless and disappointing sets. Which, however, received a place in our Top 10 list?
10. 75181 UCS Y-Wing Starfighter
Introducing two new characters as minifigures – Dutch Vander and R2-BHD, the UCS Y-Wing Starfighter is an incredible remake of the old 2004 version. The colors and overall build have been sufficiently improved. Of course, we shouldn’t compare sets that have almost 15 years between them but it is worth mentioning.
It is not a set with a lot of play-ability but it is so well built that you can pick it up and fly it around if it pleases you. It will definitely not break, unlike many sets we have received through the years. It does, however, look incredible when displayed. I have included it in this list simply because it is one of the best-looking sets that have ever been made.
Piece Count: 1967
Minifigures: Dutch Vander, R2-BHD
Original Retail Price: $199.99
9. 10221 Super Star Destroyer
Next, we have the enormous Super Star Destroyer from 2011. This extremely well-built model stands out with exceptional details and an impressive minifigure selection. I have put it in the list for these very reasons. It is a great displayable set standing at 4 feet in length.
Undoubtedly, the most interesting and fun part of the set is the section on top. A lot of thought and effort has been put into the details. For example, my favorite part is the bridge. In addition, there is enough space inside the ship to fit each of the minifigures.
Piece Count: 3152
Minifigures: Darth Vader, Admiral Firmus Piett, Bossk, Dengar, IG-88
Original Retail Price: $399
8. 10236 Ewok Village
The UCS Ewok Village is most certainly the Star Wars set with the highest playability to ever be released. It is a set which re-creates so many of our favorite scenes from Return of the Jedi. The scales, in fact, match the size of the minifigures and you actually get so many of them.
You can either use it as a lovely display set or enjoy the variety of play features. You can throw Ewoks from the top of a tree or you can re-create your favorite scene from this part of the movie. There are net traps, slides, catapults, and so many more things to play with. Overall, this is one of the most entertaining sets and a great addition to any collection.
Piece Count: 1990
Minifigures: Wicket, Teebo, Ewok Warrior, Chief Chirpa, Logray, Scout Trooper x2, Stormtrooper x2, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, C-3PO, R2-D2, Rebel Commando x2
Original Retail Price: $249
7. 10240 Red Five X-Wing Starfighter
The 2013 UCS X-Wing Starfighter was another remarkably improved re-make of an old UCS version of this ship. It is not hard to believe having that the original one came out in 2000. I have included it in the list simply because of its spectacular build and overall appearance.
The attention to details really makes this set a worthy choice to spend a couple of hundred dollars. The one single downside to me has always been the lack of a rebel pilot as a minifigure but overall it is a beautiful display set.
Piece Count: 1559
Original Retail Price: $199.99
6. 75059 UCS Sandcrawler
The UCS Sandcrawler from 2014 is literally a behemoth set. It is a mix of an amazing build with a great selection of minifigures. If you are a fan of droids, this set will increase your collection by many new droid characters.
Besides being a beautiful display set, it has an incredible amount of play features both outside and inside. You can lift boxes, lower the front ramp, or remove the whole top of the set and enjoy the detailed interior.
Overall, the Sandcrawler makes for a really fun set which combines everything a LEGO Star Wars fan could desire. Last but not least, it is extremely worth the money in terms of price per piece as well.
Piece Count: 3296
Minifigures: Jawa x4, Owen Lars, Luke Skywalker, C-3PO, Wed Treadwell Droid, R5-D4, Gonk Droid, R1-series Droid, R2-D2
Original Retail Price: $299
4. 10143 Death Star II
Although this set does not have any play features, to me it is unique. It is one of those sets that will start a conversation every time someone sees it. Despite being a really old set from the starting years of LEGO Star Wars, I believe it stands out with the number of details included in the build. It is incredible that a set this huge can simply hold on such a little stand.
It is one of those few UCS sets that I believe a lot of fans want to see re-made. When this first came out in 2005, it had an incredible price for the number of pieces included. Today, it may be far more troublesome to get but it is definitely a worthy collection piece no matter the price.
Piece Count: 3441
Original Retail Price: $269.99
4. 10030 Imperial Star Destroyer
As I already mentioned in the beginning, we will be getting a remake of this set in fall 2019. However, the original version remains among the best UCS sets we have ever received. Released in 2002, it was the first set of this scale to ever exist.
Similar to the previous one, it is one of those incredible display sets that can act as a conversation starter for your LEGO collection or simply love of Star Wars. The amount of detail and the finished look of this ship in this particular light gray color make it one of our top choices and an incredible addition to any collection.
Piece Count: 3104
Original Retail Price: $299
3. 75060 Slave I
The UCS Slave I from 2015 stands out as one of the most accurate builds to ever come to life. I believe most LEGO fans rarely enjoy stickers on sets. In this particular model, the stickers are what made the set look on point compared to the movies. They are placed in places where there would be a mismatch in colors.
It does hold a fair amount of play features like the adjustable front turrets and the cockpit which can be opened. Otherwise, I believe this is one of the most beautiful LEGO Star Wars sets and it looks incredible as a display piece.
Piece Count: 1996
Minifigures: Stormtrooper, Boba Fett, Han Solo, Bespin Guard
Original Retail Price: $199.99
2. 10212 Imperial Shuttle
I am sure many will share my opinion, but I believe the 10212 Imperial Shuttle to be one of the most amazing UCS sets and sets overall. It is minifigure scaled and simply looks incredible. It can be displayed both on its landing gear or on a stand in flying mode.
In terms of play features, there is not a lot to talk about besides the large cockpit which can fit four of the minifigures at the same time. Overall, this is an incredible display set that simply looks beautiful in its white color.
Piece Count: 2503
Minifigures: Imperial Pilot, Imperial Officer, Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Stormtrooper
Original Retail Price: $259.99
1. 75192 Millennium Falcon
No other LEGO set has created such hype as the 2017 Millennium Falcon. This set is simply huge. It is formerly the largest LEGO set with 7541 pieces. When it was announced, it was on backorder for months which is hard to imagine having the price of $799.99.
There is no other set that could possibly take the top spot on any list having the size and amount of details. Besides that, a great thing about this mammoth set is that minifigures are included from both the Original Trilogy (including the exclusive Mynock) and the Sequel Trilogy. There are also 2 interchangeable satellite dishes so that you can display the Falcon from your favorite era. Do you go with the circular dish from the OT or the rectangle from the ST? Ultimately the choice is yours.
This is a set for the most dedicated tier of fans and an absolute jewel for any LEGO collection overall.
Piece Count: 7541
Minifigures: BB-8, C-3PO, Finn, Chewbacca, Han Solo, Mynock, Porg, Princess Leia, Rey
Original Retail Price: $799.99
What do you think of my list of the Best UCS LEGO Star Wars sets? Let me know in the comments.
12 thoughts on “The 10 Best LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collectors Series Sets”
Seems like a poor list, your criteria appears random and haphazard. The ewok lego village was criticized quite a bit at release, though I suppose the Hoth set a few years did become more notable, but its inclusion was an obvious red flag. A couple sets in your list are showing extreme age, and their selections seem to be rooted more out of their ‘history’ rather than true appeal.
Even Red 5 seems a bit dated and in need of a remake at this point. Would have much preferred the Nebulon-B Frigate over some prequel bs. Some original trilogy ships have been done to death, but there are several ships we’ve yet to see.
If you haven’t noticed, every set on this list is from your oh so precious Original Trilogy. The prequels deserve more love. Give us a Venator Star Destroyer with Ahsoka, Rex and Maul.
Give us a UCS ARC Interceptor. A Separatist Dreadnought, A to scale Lego lightsaber, Republic gunships, Republic Y Wings, and Jedi Interceptors.
Stop blowing smoke up the OT’s overrated ass.
what a bizarre comment. You do know I dont decide what sets get made right? This list is my list of the best that ALREADY exist. I cant include something that hasnt been made. All the ones you list are not actual sets. A republic Gunship is being created, but wont be out until next year. So I can’t give you a Venator as a UCS version doesnt exist.
I didn’t mean *you* should make UCS’s. I meant “give us” in a rhetorical sense to LEGO. The prequels are finally being recognized as good films and us prequel fans are understandably frustrated with the fact that there are no massive detailed sets to collect.
The only UCS I own is the A Wing, because I personally love that ship, but all the others are dead to me because it’s just more OT pandering
Prequel films good films. If you are into tax disputes and trade routes then knock yourself out

There are only a certain amount of UCS sets to choose from. I happen to like the Ewok Village. I cant just choose the 10 most recent sets just because they are the most recent. its about opinions and these are my top 10 UCS sets.
Go off, king. Fierce. Get him, how dare he have a different opinion in which star wars lego sets are the best.
Yes, it’s entirely subjective. And yes, being grown adults arguing about which star wars toys are better is a little disturbing. But he didn’t have the same opinion as you and that just gets me boiling.
Let’s both shriek at him and have red faced temper tantrums to show him that you don’t disagree with my buddy Jason without the heat coming down on ya. If someone’s opinion deviates from yours (the dogma we must all base our opinions on) on something so absurdly subjective, calling his opinion “poor” and questioning his commitment to research is the kindest punishment our all powerful Jason could inflict.
Good job proving that us nerds aren’t all stereotypes (such as terrible at socializing, prickly personalities to feign intelligence and taste while really implying neither, only really being a symptom of exclusion from social circles and romantic attention) that some of us, like Jason, do not abide! You’re the furthest thing from an ornery due to social and romantic frustration type fella. Prove it by trivializing his lego rankings and insulting his opinuons and research habits.
I wish I could be like that, maybe if I start following you around in real life solely based upon this comment I can absorb some of your aura. Maybr then I can finally purchase a girlfriend. Maybe not, Idk Jason. You gotta help me. Your brave and clever insults towards his lego opinions proved to me that someone can still be a cool dude even if theyre a star wars lego nerd.
Should I just go around telling other people that their opinions and tastes on hardcore nerd stuff is low quality and wrong? It’s so hard, every nerd I’ve met has been an open minded, intelligent and socially apt fellow, but I don’t wanna be like those lames. I wanna demean others if their lego opinions deviate from the established doctrine (my exact opinions)!
Ok Ill stop, I just never saw someone be so cool. You can have my GF for a night, but Im sure you have too many to even bother. I bet no girls good enough for you unless she has DEEP star wars lego knowledge. Im omw to your place rn to try and get lessons from the sensei. I assume that isn’t weird…that’s how people are supposed to make friends, right?
I would switch the ewok Village out from this list (its just a big play set like Death star) and include one of the most hunted and desired sets of all times: the 10175 Vader’s Tie Advance wich, next to the 10212 Imperial Shuttle, has become the Holy Grail for most Lego Collectors..
The Ultimate Collector's Series, or UCS, is a subtheme of sets, mainly for Star Wars although it can be used for different themes.
Contents
Description
UCS sets, introduced in 2000, are meant to be more detailed and aimed at older builders. Typically, they represent a single ship, vehicle, place or character, using as many parts as required to have a very unique set. All UCS are usually Direct To Consumer sets, referred as D2C or DTC, which means they are generally sold by LEGO directly and only by few retailers, making them "hard to find" on the market. Usually, LEGO lists them as "hard to find" or "exclusives" on their website.
UCS was primarily used for Star Wars since 2000, but was also, in a way, used for Batman. In 2006, 7784 The Batmobile Ultimate Collectors' Edition uses the mention Ultimate Collectors' Edition which is very similar to UCS. For many, this set is considered as a part of Ultimate Collector's Series collection and sometimes extended to more recent Super Heroes sets, such as 76042 The S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, which are similar in the marketing and product design to UCS Star Wars sets.
10179 Ultimate Collector's Millennium Falcon, the fifth largest LEGO set ever made. The newest remake of this set, 75192 Millennium Falcon, is the largest LEGO set ever made.
These sets did not generally include Minifigures, but since 2007, most have included at least one. Depending on the UCS definition and list, the first one to include minifigures is either 10123 Cloud City or 10179 Ultimate Collector's Millennium Falcon. Most are also not designed to scale with Minifigures, though there are some cases (such as 75060 Slave I or 75192 Millennium Falcon) where the set is completely to scale.
Ultimate Collector's Series sets tend to be larger, and more expensive than typical sets. Commonly, Ultimate Collector's Series sets were given a five-digit (10xxx) product number until 2014, when Star Wars UCS adopted the 75xxx numbering. Some of them might include an informative and exclusive plaque, which provides additional information about the ship, vehicle, place or character built.
Identification and controversy over UCS sets
The very first UCS sets, being 7181 TIE Interceptor and 7191 X-Wing Fighter, had an explicit mention they were part of an Ultimate Collector Series (the 's only appeared in 10179 Ultimate Collector's Millennium Falcon's title and 75059 Sandcrawler's logo) collection. It was also added for 7194 Yoda, 10026 Special Edition Naboo Starfighter and 10030 Imperial Star Destroyer.
Logo used for Original Trilogy Edition between 2004 and 2005 for several UCS sets.
In 2004, 10129 Rebel Snowspeeder, a set which used all the standards of an UCS set, did not have this usual mention, and only had a regular box. Ultimate Collector's Series was then not used for ten years on any box. It was initially replaced by Original Trilogy Edition starting from 10131 TIE Collection, while this set only had four minifigure-scaled TIE Fighters. This logo was also used for explicit UCS sets, such as 10143 Death Star II, but also for regular sets like 7263 TIE Fighter.
In 2007, the UCS title comes back for 10179 Ultimate Collector's Millennium Falcon, but does not appear anywhere else on the box than the set name. This set was the only ship which was named as part of the UCS collection between 2004 and 2014.
In May 2011, the UCS Promotional Poster was given away during the May the Fourth event. This poster clarifies the UCS list, after seven years the UCS mention has disappeared from any box with the exception of 10179. It includes obvious UCS sets such as 10129 or 10188 Death Star, but also sets that could have been seen as regular, like 10131 TIE Fighter Collection or 10123 Cloud City. It includes also 10018 Darth Maul Bust which was not identified as UCS prior to this poster, despite being a 2001 set similar to 7194 Yoda. The poster also refers to 10221 Super Star Destroyer which was not released yet. Some sets of this list are controversial and not identified as UCS: 10131 or 10123 are not a part of Brickset's list for UCS sets.
Following sets still did not include the UCS mention, but were assumed as UCS: 10225 R2-D2, 10227 B-Wing, 10240 Red Five X-wing Starfighter and 10236 Ewok Village. The last one is a controversial one as it is a wide playset including many minifigures, but is listed as an UCS set by Brickset.
In 2014, the UCS mention comes back with a logo on 75059 Sandcrawler, which is also the first one to adopt the 75xxx digit format. It includes some controversial sets such as 75098 Assault on Hoth, which was highly discussed due to the use of the UCS tag for what seemed to be a collection from different Hoth sets, similar to 10131 TIE Collection. The nature of 75159 Death Star was also discussed as 10188 did not include a specific mention to UCS in its box. Nowadays, most sets considered as UCS include this logo, even if this mention was sometimes controversial and it was also not mentioned in different sets considered as UCS and released after 2014.
Logo used for UCS from 2017 to 2019.
Since 2017 and 75192 Millennium Falcon's release, the UCS logo was replaced by a black mention. UCS sets are also called Ultimate Collector Series, removing the 's again, since this release, as the very first UCS sets between 2000 and 2003 were.
In 2018, more controversy emerged over 75222 Betrayal at Cloud City which was not identified as an UCS but as a part of Master Builder Series, despite being similar to 10188, 10236, 75059 or 75098. The set is rarely listed as an UCS but can be considered if all Master Builder Series sets are included. When this controversy emerged, a clearer definition of what is an UCS was written by an official LEGO statement:
“The Master Builder Series models are large playsets and beside being complex builds they are characterized by having many play features and functions, interior details as well as a range of minifigures.
Ultimate Collectors Series will remain highly detailed display models providing complex builds with a focus on authenticity and both Ultimate Collectors Series and Master Builder Series will continue as a way to highlight the unique characteristic of each style of model.” [1]
No explicit mention is on 75244 Tantive IV which questioned its UCS nature, despite 10198 Tantive IV being considered as an UCS on the UCS Promotional Poster. Some have chosen to not include this set on their UCS list, such as Brickset. It is not a part of Master Builder Series either.
Logo used for UCS since 2020.
The first UCS A-Wing releases in 2020 as 75275 A-Wing Starfighter, which also introduces a new UCS logo. Unlike the 2017 logo, it keeps the previous grammar, being Ultimate Collector Series and not Ultimate Collector's Series. The set is also mentioned as "18+," instead of usual ages of 12+, 14+ or 16+ used for most UCS sets before, while some sets were for even younger ages, 10026 Special Edition Naboo Starfighter and 10123 Cloud City were for ages 9+ and 10131 TIE Collection for 8+. Other sets in 2020 such as 75274 Tie Fighter Pilot Helmet Bust, 75276 Stormtrooper Helmet Bust and 75277 Boba Fett Helmet Bust are for the same ages while not being UCS.
Fan vote for an UCS set
Picture used by The LEGO Group for the vote to display the three possible choices fans could make for the next UCS set.
In January 2020, The LEGO Group has launched for a short amount of time - one week - the 2020 Star Wars Ultimate Collectors Series Vote on the LEGO Ideas platform. As the UCS' popularity was growing among most AFOLs, the choice was given to them between three different possible sets: a TIE Bomber, a Republic Gunship or a Nebulon B Escort Frigate. Two of the three ships had already their smaller sets, although no minifigure-scaled TIE Bomber was released since 4479 TIE Bomber and either no minifigure-scaled Republic Gunship since 75021 Republic Gunship.
The vote allowed fans to choose one set between the three ships, and also to include what minifigures they would like to see in the final version. The majority went to the Republic Gunship, which will be an upcoming set which details of number of pieces, minifigures and release date are unknown. It is likely the set will not release at the very least before 2021 or even 2022, as an UCS set can need one or several years of design work to be completed. It is likely the set will include minifigures, but the UCS size of a Republic Gunship could also be bigger than the minifigure-scale, as it is already the case for most Ultimate sets.
This fan vote was not the first being made for a Star Wars set, as 7754 Home One Mon Calamari Star Cruiser already resulted from the 2009 Fan's Choice Competition. It is the only one so far for an UCS set, and it's unknown if there will be another similar vote for the next UCS sets.
List of Sets
Star Wars
This list is based on the UCS Promotional Poster and on every box with an UCS mention or logo in the box or set name. It does not include Master Builder Series sets, or 75244 Tantive IV, considered as regular.
Палящее солнце заставляет бежать людей из бетонных городов, оставляя свои раскаленные коробки и металлические банки на колесах, в надежде спрятаться в тени деревьев или вблизи водоемов и рек. Вот и я мечтаю перенестись в снежный декабрь, а там и до нового года не далеко. Тем более, что 1 августа стартуют продажи новых наборов LEGO, которые и будут составлять основной объем новогодних подарков, а для фанатов вселенной «звездные войны» праздник начнётся именно в эту дату, ведь количество по-настоящему интересных новинок много, все разные и на любой кошелёк.
Что же касается кошелька, то тут все не так празднично и весело (смотря с какой стороны посмотреть), если вы захотите купить все новинки в первый день продаж, то вам придётся выложить примерно 80 тысяч рублей .
Основной объем от этой суммы составит недавно показанный UCS набор, который словил огромную волну негатива, несмотря на то, что именно он был выбран большинством фанатов. Что же не так с этим набором, давайте разбираться?
С чего все начиналось
В прошлом году компания LEGO опубликовала опрос, где поклонникам "Star Wars" дали возможность выбрать будущий UCS набор.
Ultimate Collector Series (UCS) — детально проработанные и увлекательные модели, которые станут идеальным подарком для фанатов LEGO и фильмов саги о Звездных войнах. Эти наборы созданы для строителей более старшего возраста и упакованы в специальные коробки.
Опрос предлагал выбрать один из трех вариантов: Фрегат сопровождения "Небулон-Б" (Nebulon B Escort Frigate), Республиканский истребитель (Republic Gunship) и Бомбардировщик TIE (TIE Bomber).
Конкуренцию республиканскому истребителю навязал лишь фрегат "Небулон-Б", тем более, что этот корабль еще ни разу не появлялся в формате LEGO. Кстати, уже после голосования, компания LEGO выпустила набор c этим кораблём в небольшом масштабе. Такой вот утешительный приз от датчан.
Однако, более 30 000 человек отдали свои голоса за республиканский истребитель, что является подавляющим большинство. Это довольно значительная разница, тем более, что на экране он появлялся мало, а самый яркий момент, связанный с этим кораблём, произошел в конце второго эпизода, которой был выпущен в далеком 2002 году.
Гораздо большую известность этот корабль обрел благодаря мультсериалу «войны клонов», где очень часто мелькал в различных битвах и активно использовался силами республики.
Доброго времени суток, уважаемый читатель! Говорит и показывает – Малефик, сегодня обсудим впечатляющую новинку Ultimate Collector Series Звездных Войн!
Перво-наперво стоит отметить, что это последний коллекционный набор этого года, о котором ходили хоть какие-то слухи, обо всех остальных грядущих наборах конструктора нет совершенно никакой информации.
Внешний вид коробки (не забудьте пролистать галерею вправо) не вызывает никаких сомнений о том, на кого равняется этот набор. Точно такая же форма коробки была у Сокола Тысячелетия (№75192, я напоминаю, что в Соколе 7541 деталь и это до сих пор самый большой серийный набор Лего в истории). На коробке изображена самая первая сцена самого первого фильма о Звездных Войнах – Эпизод IV «Новая надежда». Весь набор является крайне детализированной копией именно того устрашающего корабля, что гонится за Республиканским Тантивом IV.
Что касается задней стороны коробки, то она не менее красивая, чем передняя, хотя и вызывает у меня несколько вопросов, ну что за дорога, на которой стоит крейсер, и море сзади? Верфи, на которых производятся корабли такого класса, находятся в космосе, а не на поверхности планет.
Так же стоит отметить, что данный набор является реинкарнацией классического коллекционного ультимэйт набора №10030 (третье фото в галерее), однако новый набор существенно больше прародителя 3104 детали, против 4784 детали у нового набора. Таким образом он больше звезд смерти, но меньше двух соколов и занимает почетное третье место среди наборов Лего Star Wars по величине.
Ничего не имею против , не побоюсь этого слова, настоящего символа Звездных Войн, крейсера, который наводит страх на жителей всех уголков Галактики, но невозможно не заметить, то, что The Lego Group идут по пути «успешных» компаний (читай Disney) выпуская ремейк за ремейком. Из того что мне приходит в голову в "Ultimate Collection Series" нет культового шагохода АТ-АТ или звездолётов из новых эпизодов, и много чего еще, но мы получаем еще один Разрушитель (спасибо, что не Сокол). Хотя, если быть честным, то я бы гордился этим набором, будь он в моей коллекции.
Данный гигантский набор представляет собой полую модель. На этот раз панели не открываются, и не скрывают внутри отсеков, кают и рубок управления. Нет тут и Дарта Вейдера и других видных лиц Галактической Империи. Но две минифигурки все же есть. На подставке (которая в высоту поднимает разрушитель на 7 см) имеется памятная табличка с краткими характеристиками крейсера. Обратите внимание на размер двигателей, они действительно огромные!
About LEGO Star Wars UCS Sets: The Ultimate Collector’s Series
The LEGO Ultimate Collector’s Series, also known as UCS for short, is a series of LEGO Star Wars sets aimed mainly at collectors, featuring large and complex models that are particularly popular with adult LEGO fans.
On this page you will find all the information and news about the Ultimate Collector’s Series. This page is intended to serve as a small collection guide, but also as a source of information, because the LEGO Star Wars UCS series is entwined with many myths and half-truths.

The LEGO Star Wars UCS Sets Table
In the following two tables you will find all LEGO Star Wars UCS Sets that have been released to date. Currently, these are either 30 or 36 sets (depending on your point of view). Why this is so, I’ll explain below. The UCS set table can be sorted very easily and contains all information about the set number, the release year (for the newer sets also the month), the number of pieces and the number of mini-figures.

More UCS Sets
The following 6 sets were originally sold by LEGO as UCS sets, but are no longer considered as such by some collectors today. The reason is probably that Brickset doesn’t include the sets in their UCS list. Many LEGO fans regard Brickset’s list as the “official list” – but it is not. Therefore I would like to list these 6 “additional” sets here.

FAQ about the LEGO Star Wars UCS Sets
The LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector’s Series poses many questions to LEGO buyers and enthusiasts. I’ll try to answer the most common questions here. If your question isn’t answered here, please post it in the comments below. I will then try to answer the question and add it to my little FAQ.
What does UCS mean?
UCS stands in the context of LEGO for “Ultimate Collector’s Series”. By the way, LEGO used to call it the “Ultimate Collectors Series”, without the apostrophe and the “s” after the “Collector”.
Are LEGO UCS sets limited?
No, LEGO UCS sets are not limited – at least not in quantity. However, the sets are not sold forever, as the sales figures at LEGO naturally decline after a few years and it is no longer worthwhile to continue producing the set. Then the sets of the UCS series go the same way as any other LEGO set: They are taken out of the program and are then EOL (“End of Life” or “End of Line”).
The sometimes very high prices of the UCS sets are due to the fact that the sets have not been on the market for several years and not to the fact that there is only a limited number of sets. This also means that the LEGO Group can also re-release sets that have been out of date for a long time in updated form at any time.
How long will UCS sets be produced?
This is very different and depends on the demand for the set. There are very popular UCS sets that are produced over many years. The best example is the 10188 Death Star, which was in the program from 2008 to the end of 2015, only to be replaced immediately by the almost identical 75159 Death Star. The Death Star has now been available from LEGO for exactly 10 years.
However, other sets will be taken out of the program quite quickly due to low demand: The LEGO 10227 B-Wing Starfighter was only available for a little over 1 year before it disappeared from the shelves again.
Here is a list of the approximate lifetimes of some UCS sets from 2007 to 2019:
- LEGO 10179 UCS Millennium Falcon: 2.5 years
- LEGO 10188 UCS Death Star: 7,5 years
- LEGO 10215 UCS Obi Wan’s Starfighter: 1,4 years
- LEGO 10212 UCS Imperial Shuttle: 2.3 years
- LEGO 10221 UCS Super Star Destroyer: 2.8 years
- LEGO 10225 UCS R2-D2: 2.5 years
- LEGO 10227 UCS B-Wing: 1.1 years
- LEGO 10236 UCS Ewok Village: 3.3 years
- LEGO 10240 UCS X-Wing: 2.6 years
- LEGO 75060 UCS Slave I: 3.4 years (still in assortment)
- LEGO 75095 UCS TIE Fighter: 2.9 years
- LEGO 75098 UCS Assault on Hoth: 1.8 years
- LEGO 75159 UCS Death Star: 2.5 years (still in stock)
- LEGO 75144 UCS Snow Speeder: 1.8 years
- LEGO 75192 UCS Millennium Falcon: 1.5 years (still in stock)
- LEGO 75181 UCS Y-Wing Starfighter: 1 year (still in stock)
On average (if only the sets that are now EOL are included in the calculation), this results in a service life of around 2.8 years for UCS sets. However, the variation is relatively large.
Are there clear rules as to which set is a UCS set?
The question, which set is a “real” UCS set and which is not, is astonishing for many collectors in the LEGO community. Questions like these are often asked:
- Does a set have to have an Ultimate Collector’s Series logo?
- Is every set with a black badge a UCS set?
- Is there an official UCS list from LEGO?
Unfortunately, the answer is somewhat sobering: Although LEGO now has relatively clear rules as to which set is an Ultimate Collector’s Series set and which isn’t, it hasn’t been dealt with so clearly in the past. Only since 2014 with the UCS Sandcrawler (75059) there is a real logo for the coveted collection series, since the end of 2017 with the UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) this logo has disappeared again and a (at least well recognizable) packaging design is used.
In the years before, LEGO usually treated all LEGO Star Wars sets with a 10xxx set number as UCS sets. An exception are the three very old sets Tie Interceptor (7181), X-Wing (7191) and Yoda (7194), which were released in 2000 and 2002. These are clearly marked with a writing on the box as “Ultimate Collector Series” sets.
From about 2004 on, there were also sets called “Original Trilogy Edition”. This has nothing to do with the UCS series, but was also used for normal LEGO Star Wars sets, whose settings come from the movies Episode IV to Episode VI.
The nameplates or badges do NOT determine whether a set bears the Ultimate Collectors Series seal or not. The discussion was mainly conducted in 2017 due to the release of the LEGO 75187 BB-8 in many forums and Facebook groups. LEGO made it quite clear that the BB-8 is not a UCS set, even though it has a nameplate and fits perfectly to the LEGO 10225 R2-D2.
By the way, there is no official list of LEGO. I used the old names of LEGO Shop at Home (the predecessor of today’s online shop) to create the tables and looked at which sets were sold in the category for the Ultimate Collector’s Series sets at that time. So the two tables above should be the current best place to go.
