LEGO^® Executor 75457: what the price buys

I haven't built this ship. What follows comes from LEGO's press release and Brickset's review of 17 September 2026, whose copy came from LEGO. The opinions and the score are mine.

The price first, since the title promises it: £649.99 on LEGO.com in the UK, checked 3 Nov 2026.$799.99 on LEGO.com in the US, checked 3 Nov 2026.€749.99 on LEGO.com in Germany, checked 3 Nov 2026.€749.99 on LEGO.com in France, checked 3 Nov 2026.€749.99 on LEGO.com in Spain, checked 3 Nov 2026.€749.99 on LEGO.com in Italy, checked 3 Nov 2026.€749.99 on LEGO.com in Portugal, checked 3 Nov 2026. That buys 6,130 pieces, or 10.6p13.1¢12.2c12.2c12.2c12.2c12.2c per piece, with an age mark of 18+. Status at your LEGO.com: AvailableAvailableAvailableAvailableAvailableAvailableAvailable. See the set page for the markets side by side.

Per piece, this isn't a bargain. It comes to nearly twice the Sagrada Família's figure in every one of our seven markets, checked 3 Nov 2026, even though LEGO charged the same price for both when we looked. Set 75192 Millennium Falcon has 7,541 pieces and costs less per piece than the Executor in all seven markets too. That one is listed as retiring soon on LEGO.com, checked 3 Nov 2026, and I go through it in Millennium Falcon: buy or wait.

Piece counts undersell this one, though. Here's what the rest of the money goes on.

Length, mostly

LEGO gives the size as over 136 cm long, 50 cm wide and 20 cm high, and over 5 kg. It calls this the longest LEGO Star Wars brick-built model to date. It didn't fit the usual photo background at Brickset.

That length is a structural problem, and it's the most interesting thing here. LEGO describes a System core with slim Technic outriggers holding the outer panels. Brickset adds detail: the display stand is part of the structure, mostly Technic parts, and each side mounts to the core in five places. The stand can't be taken off. You wouldn't want to, since the underside isn't flat.

Panels did come loose for Brickset, but only when it turned the ship upside down for photos. I don't count that against it.

The comparison with set 10221 Super Star Destroyer from 2011 is Brickset's, and it's clear: this one is substantially bigger and more faithful to the screen model, with narrower seams between panels. If you already own 10221, that's the case for upgrading. Whether it's enough is your call.

The minifigures are the best argument

Seven in all. Darth Vader, plus Boba Fett, Dengar, Bossk, IG-88, 4-LOM and Zuckuss, which LEGO says is the first time all six bounty hunters share a set. They stand on a separate minifigure-scale bridge scene.

Brickset rates the selection "brilliant", and singles out IG-88's new head and the copper accents on 4-LOM. Three of the hunters were in 10221, so this is the fuller line-up. Brickset marks the set down for leaving out Admiral Piett. So would I: a bridge scene from that film, without the man who runs that bridge.

Other small things you get:

• A companion Star Destroyer built to scale, on its own stand. Its nose, Brickset says, "looks ridiculous".
• A tiny Millennium Falcon on a 1x1 round tile, fixed to that Star Destroyer.
• 60 printed tiles for hull lights, a new design from LEGO.
• No stickers, according to Brickset, and 54 numbered bags with four instruction books.

The Darth Vader's Lightsaber gift (set 40897) ran from 1 to 7 October 2026. That window has closed.

Where the money shows

Top-side detail is good but uneven. Brickset found the decks around the centre plain, with rows of visible studs, and it objects to colourful Technic parts showing through gaps in the cityscape. Yellow ones in particular. Those parts "did not have to be yellow", and I can't argue.

Underneath is worse. The areas around the engines read as unfinished to Brickset, which is a real issue if you display the ship on a high shelf, the one place a 136 cm model might fit. Then there's the colour. Even a Star Wars fan, the reviewer says, has to admit it's overwhelmingly grey.

The review's closing line is the fairest summary I've read: "a good model is not sufficient for one so expensive and demanding so much space to display". I'd go a little easier, because the structure and the figures are unusual, and that's why it scores above 7.

Who should buy it

Someone with a long clear surface and a real attachment to The Empire Strikes Back. Measure before anything else. If you're torn between big display pieces, I set this against LEGO's other giant at the same figure in Sagrada Família or Executor, and if per-piece numbers are driving your choice, read when price per piece misleads. It misleads against the Executor here, I think. A good share of the money goes into structure and figures. The rest of the Star Wars range we track is one click away.
