The Ultimate Collector Series in 2026, release by release. The Executor Super Star Destroyer (75457) opened to LEGO Insiders on October 1 and to everyone on October 4, and The Mandalorian's N-1 Starfighter (75442) on May 1. How the year compares with 2025's Death Star, and which UCS sets leave LEGO's range on December 31, 2026.
The Executor is real. LEGO announced the UCS Super Star Destroyer details - 6130 pieces">Executor Super Star Destroyer (75457) on August 26, 2026 and put it on sale to LEGO Insiders on October 1 and to everyone on October 4, so the Super Star Destroyer remake that leaks had pointed to for a year is now a set you can buy. It joins The Mandalorian's N-1 Starfighter (75442) from May as the second Ultimate Collector Series release of 2026. This page records the year's UCS sets, how they compare with 2025, and which UCS sets leave LEGO's range at the end of 2026.
The 2026 UCS releases
The Executor Super Star Destroyer, Darth Vader's flagship from The Empire Strikes Back. Released October 4, 2026 after an Insiders pre-sale from October 1, over 136 cm long, with a minifigure-scale bridge scene and seven minifigures.
The Mandalorian's N-1 Starfighter, the 2026 mid-sized UCS ship. Launched May 1, 2026 and expected to stay on sale until the end of 2028.
The Executor Super Star Destroyer (75457)
The Executor is an updated version of the 2011 UCS Super Star Destroyer (10221), and LEGO describes it as the longest LEGO Star Wars brick-built model to date. The published figures:
- Pieces: 6,130
- Size: over 136 cm (53.5 in) long, 50 cm (20 in) wide and 20 cm (7.5 in) high, and over 5 kg
- Minifigures: seven, Darth Vader and, for the first time in a single set, all six bounty hunters summoned in The Empire Strikes Back: Boba Fett, Dengar, Bossk, IG-88, 4-LOM and Zuckuss
- Display: a minifigure-scale scene of the Executor's bridge for the figures
- Released: October 4, 2026, after an Insiders pre-sale from October 1, at LEGO.com and LEGO Stores; orders from October 1 to 10 included the Darth Vader's Lightsaber gift with purchase (40897)
The leaks of late 2025 had the set number wrong. They pointed to 75458, which turned out to be the Imperial Remnant AT-RT Driver Helmet; the Executor is 75457. Our catalog is still filling in its listing, so check the set page for the current price.
Plan the shelf before you order. At over 136 cm long it is wider than a standard 80 cm bookcase, and it needs a table, a sideboard or a long wall shelf of its own. The original 2011 Executor, set 10221, is retired and now sold only on the secondary market.
The N-1 Starfighter (75442)
In each of the last three years LEGO has released one mid-sized UCS ship alongside the big sets: the TIE Interceptor (75382) in 2024, Jango Fett's Firespray-Class Starship (75409) in 2025, and the N-1 Starfighter from The Mandalorian in 2026. It launched on May 1, 2026, and our catalog expects it to stay on sale until the end of 2028, so there is no rush.
How 2026 compares with 2025
2025 brought three UCS sets, led by the Death Star, which LEGO describes as the biggest LEGO Star Wars set at launch. 2026 brought two, and the Executor took the record for length while the Death Star kept the record for piece count.
The UCS Death Star from October 2025: a cut-away diorama of A New Hope's interiors, with the most pieces of any UCS Star Wars set. Expected to stay on sale until the end of 2028.
Jango Fett's Firespray-Class Starship, the 2025 mid-sized UCS ship, expected on sale until the end of 2027.
UCS sets leaving on December 31, 2026
Our catalog gives four UCS sets an expected exit date of December 31, 2026. This is their last holiday season at LEGO; after that, a new copy depends on other stores' remaining stock and then the secondary market.
The 2017 UCS Millennium Falcon, with interchangeable crews for the classic and sequel trilogies. Expected to leave LEGO's range on December 31, 2026.
The Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser, the prequel-era capital ship. Expected to leave on December 31, 2026.
Jabba's Sail Barge from Return of the Jedi. Expected to leave on December 31, 2026.
The UCS X-wing Starfighter (75355) already left at the end of 2025. For every set leaving this year, across all themes, see LEGO Sets Retiring in 2026.
Which to buy
- You want the 2026 flagship: the Executor, if you have the length for it.
- You want a capital ship that is leaving: the Millennium Falcon or the Venator, both expected to leave on December 31, 2026.
- You want a smaller UCS ship: the TIE Interceptor before it leaves, or the N-1, which stays until 2028.
- You want the most build for one set: the Death Star, still the UCS set with the most pieces.
