Sagrada Família or Executor at the same price

I'd buy the Sagrada Família. Same money, far less room. Neither set has been through my hands, so that's a judgement from LEGO's data and Brickset's two reviews.

The same price, checked

LEGO's two press releases give matching list prices, and the catalogue agrees. In every one of our seven markets the two sets carried an identical LEGO.com figure when we checked on 3 Nov 2026. In your market that means £649.99$799.99€749.99€749.99€749.99€749.99€749.99 for the Sagrada Família and £649.99$799.99€749.99€749.99€749.99€749.99€749.99 for the Executor. Those figures can move separately later, so trust the tracker over this sentence. Why a set's number shifts between countries is a separate subject, covered in why one set costs differently by market.

Availability can differ too. On that check, your LEGO.com showed the Sagrada Família as "AvailableTemporarily out of stockAvailableAvailableAvailableAvailableAvailable" and the Executor as "AvailableAvailableAvailableAvailableAvailableAvailableAvailable".

Both carry an age mark of 18+.

What you get for it

Piece count favours one side heavily. The Sagrada Família has 12,060 pieces against the Executor's 6,130 pieces, which works out at 5.4p6.6¢6.2c6.2c6.2c6.2c6.2c and 10.6p13.1¢12.2c12.2c12.2c12.2c12.2c per piece. Nearly double. Of the 80 sets we track, the Sagrada Família sits in the lowest three per piece in all seven markets.

That gap flatters it, a little. Brickset points out that many thousands of those parts are small, used for texture. The Executor's money goes elsewhere: a Technic-reinforced frame long enough to hold a 136 cm hull, and seven minifigures with printed detail. You'd pay for parts in one case and for engineering and figures in the other.

The room decides it

Go and measure. I mean it, because this is the deciding fact.

The Sagrada Família is over 62 cm high on a base of 47 by 39 cm. Brickset wants it on a turntable so you can see every side. Awkward. But it's a table.

The Executor is over 136 cm long and 50 cm wide. The stand is built into the structure, so you can't shrink the footprint. Its Brickset reviewer, a Star Wars fan, wonders whether the size "may prove to be a problem for practical display" and ends up unconvinced it needed to be so huge. Compared with that, a fragile tower top is a small complaint.

What each does better

The Sagrada Família's build has the stronger idea. It rises in the order the real basilica did, and Brickset's team logged around 30 hours across six sections. Its weaknesses are repetition and fragility, with bell tower tops that rotate on a single stud.

The Executor is the better pick if you want characters. LEGO says it's the first set with all six bounty hunters from the film together, with Darth Vader as the seventh figure. Brickset calls that selection brilliant, and calls the engineering amazing. Its complaints sit underneath the ship, around the engines, plus the absence of Admiral Piett.

If you love Star Wars and have a long sideboard, buy the Executor and don't look back. For a bare preference between the two, I'd go the other way. My full reasoning sits in the Sagrada Família review and the Executor review.
