Average

#51 of 83 Star Wars sets with 1,000+ pieces

The UCS Star Destroyer gives about 15% more plastic per dollar than a typical big Star Wars set, and builders rate it 4.4 of 5. But $699.99 buys only about 52 pieces per $10 against a usual 72 and just two minifigures, and it costs roughly 24% more than its contents would typically sell for (around $564). It’s a showpiece first and a value buy second.
