Over 30 Lego Star Wars units have been launched in 2025, which, in the event you’re a collector, is an terrible lot to maintain up with. Particularly contemplating that this yr we have additionally seen the costliest Lego Star Wars set ever launched (the Final Collector’s Sequence Loss of life Star, with its eye-watering $999.99 price ticket — however extra on that later). It’s been a really robust yr for units, although, with vary of playsets and show units, and lots to please each adults and youngsters alike.
The Star Wars universe has had a quiet yr with the second season of Andor on Disney Plus and… Properly, that is about it. With units sometimes based mostly on present TV reveals and flicks, Lego hasn’t had a substantial amount of new materials to work with, which is probably why we’ve seen so many reimagined fashions. A brand new Loss of life Star, a brand new Grogu, AT-S, we might go on.
Playsets
There’s one factor to be mentioned in regards to the Lego Star Wars playsets of 2025: They have been costly. Outdoors of battle packs and microfighters, the most affordable set launched this yr was $29.99 (A 92-piece 4+ Mando and Grogu’s N-1 Starfighter). Pocket-money priced units have merely not existed this yr, with the vast majority of playsets costing upwards of $69.99 — some considerably extra.
There’s the 815-piece Republic Juggernaut, for instance, with a $159.99 price ticket that rivals some Final Collector’s Sequence units. Made up of 813 items, it is a relatively distinctive set due to its 10 massive wheels. And because of steering that works just by tilting the mannequin, it is a enjoyable set to play with.
There’s additionally the 976-piece Battle of Felucia Separatist MTT, one other set with a price ticket of $159.99. Primarily based on The Clone Wars, this blue and grey automobile comes with a military of Battle Droids and Commando Droids that includes loads of transferring elements, stud shooters and opening panels to entry the inside.
Neither of them is a nasty set, nevertheless it does make us marvel what the cut-off worth ought to be for a playset. It is some huge cash for one thing that kids will roll and swoosh round. Extra moderately, we have had the $54.99 Drive Burner Snowspeeder, the one set to launch this yr underneath Lego’s enjoyable ‘Rebuild the Galaxy’ sub-theme. There was additionally the 707-piece Jango Fett’s Starship, which price $69.99 — a pleasant different for individuals who did not wish to pay for the bigger UCS model.
A smattering of different units end off the round-up of Lego Star Wars playsets from 2025, together with Ahsoka’s Jedi Interceptor for $44.99 and a $69.99 Insurgent U-Wing Starfighter. There are some first rate units in right here, nevertheless it’s onerous to not be just a little dissatisfied with the shortage of sub-$40 units.
Show units
The place playsets have lacked just a little in 2025, Lego Star Wars show units have actually shone. These units have are available in a spread of sizes and styles, with surprisingly affordable costs in some circumstances. Not all units carry an 18+ age score, with some builds being extra family-friendly than others (together with the superb Grogu and Hover Pram, which we rated very extremely in the beginning of the yr).
It has been an ideal yr for mid-size ships, with three extra of those added to Lego’s line-up: Kylo Ren’s Command Shuttle, House One Starcruiser and Acclamator-Class Assault Ship. Carrying a price ticket of simply $49.99, we expect the Acclamator-Class Assault Ship is without doubt one of the finest Lego Star Wars units of the yr, packing in a large amount of element in a small, manageable package deal.
The Brick-Constructed Star Wars Brand has additionally been a nice shock, and a set we totally loved constructing this yr. Its MSRP is simply $59.99, which feels affordable sufficient, however we have often seen it discounted, too. Whereas it won’t be essentially the most thrilling set ever designed, it is an ideal addition to any Star Wars show or makes for an ideal backdrop.
Lego Star Wars helmets have had yr, after a two-year hiatus between March 2023 and March 2025. They got here again with a bang, with three helmets making it onto cabinets: Kylo Ren, Jango Fett and AT-AT Driver. An awesome choice, with the standout being the AT-AT Driver due to its distinctive design and colourful injection of crimson.
That is removed from it, both. We have additionally had a robust collection of 10+ and 12+ age-rated show fashions, a few of which we have by no means seen earlier than. We have already talked about Grogu with Hover Pram, however we additionally acquired a mannequin of Ok-2SO, Chopper, a Battle Droid with STAP and, after all, a brick-built Wicket the Ewok.
Final Collector’s Sequence units
2025 has been a momentous yr for UCS units, for a couple of cause. First, we have had three Final Collector’s Sequence units in 12 months – that is the primary time it is occurred since 2002. Second, one of many units (the Loss of life Star) is a record-breaker on two counts: it is the most important Star Wars set ever launched, by way of piece depend, and it is the costliest Lego set up to now.
However first, let’s speak in regards to the two smaller UCS units. First was Jango Fett’s Firespray Class Starship, launched in Could. Costing $299.99, it’s extremely a lot a mid-priced set, and being much like Boba Fett’s Starship (and Slave 1 earlier than it), it is not essentially the most elusive or engaging set available on the market. Following it in August got here the AT-ST Walker. Once more, not essentially the most revolutionary set — we have had a number of AT-STs earlier than — nevertheless it’s the primary time we have had an UCS model. And with a price ticket of $199.99, it is probably the most moderately priced Final Collector’s fashions we’ve had in years. An enormous win for individuals who haven’t got a enormous Lego finances however nonetheless need one thing aimed toward grownup collectors.
And for the individuals who do have an enormous Lego finances? That is the place the $999.99 Loss of life Star is available in. We have now combined emotions about this set. On the one hand, it is massively spectacular as a consequence of its aspect. Then again, it’s miles too costly and the truth that it is solely a cutaway of the Loss of life Star, relatively than an entire sphere, offers us pause. Is it nearly as good as 2016’s Loss of life Star? It is down to non-public opinion, actually.
Total, it is protected to say we have been spoiled on the UCS entrance this yr, with one thing to swimsuit virtually all budgets. We’re intrigued to see if we’ll get three units in 2026, or if Lego will return to delivering the usual two.
Festive specials
We had to point out the improbable Gingerbread AT-AT Walker, which was launched alongside this yr’s festive units. Costing $59.99 and being made up of 697 items, it not solely presents wonderful worth for cash, nevertheless it’s probably the most enjoyable Lego Star Wars units we have seen shortly. This gingerbread-colored AT-AT is adorned with vacation lights and white strips made to appear to be icing — it is merely lovable.
In fact, we additionally acquired an compulsory Star Wars Creation calendar for 2025. Its worth has remained regular at $44.99, because it has been for quite a lot of years, though its worth is questioned by how a lot you just like the minifigures and miniature builds included in any given yr. This yr, the standout minifigures are a novel printed C3PO and Jawa carrying a vacation sweater.
In abstract
It’s been a really robust yr for Lego Star Wars, significantly for grown-ups and collectors. For Star Wars followers with an extra of disposable money, the Final Collector’s Sequence Loss of life Star is unquestionably vital. However even for followers with extra restricted earnings, the wide selection of show fashions accessible has made 2025 an excellent yr certainly.
It is maybe not been an ideal yr for playsets, with the perfect playsets costing nearly as a lot as a lower-priced UCS set. There have been only a few units underneath $40, apart from a smattering of battle packs and Microfighters, however we see these yearly. Hopefully, Lego strengthens its choices on the backside finish of its worth vary for subsequent yr.
Total, although, we won’t be too dissatisfied. The nice actually outweighs the dangerous, with some really distinctive units touchdown on cabinets over the past 12 months. We won’t choose a favourite, however we do have a delicate spot for Grogu, and the Acclamator-Class Assault Ship continues to be among the finest worth units we have seen this yr.
