The Devastator. Five thousand pieces. The opening shot of A New Hope, captured in LEGO at proper scale. Retired and rising fast.

Pros & cons
What I actually noticed.
LEGO Star Wars Imperial AT-AT
Pros
- Tallest UCS Star Wars set ever — over 24 inches
- Openable cabin reveals AT-AT pilot stations and a speeder rack
- Includes 9 minifigs with snowtroopers and Imperial officers
- Posable legs hold real weight without sagging
Cons
- Same $849.99 sticker as the Falcon — serious commitment
- Front-heavy; needs to be set down carefully on display
- Minifig roster is 'cool' more than 'rare'
LEGO Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer (UCS)
Pros
- Iconic Tantive IV micro-build included — captures the opening shot of A New Hope
- Wedge-shaped silhouette is one of LEGO's cleanest UCS engineering achievements
- Tiny weapon turrets along the hull — the detail that makes it feel imposing
- Retired since 2024 — aftermarket up 75%+ over MSRP and climbing
- Pairs naturally with the [Tantive IV (75376)](/reviews) for full opening-scene staging
Cons
- Aftermarket has already crossed $1,200 sealed — not the deal it once was
- 110cm-class footprint demands serious shelf space
- Some panel seams visible up close (intentional, but worth noting)
