Very nice looking set and the standard star destroyers look great too! What's up with the Pre-Order? Will this be limited? Are they trying to eat into customer's May The 4th Promo spend so soon? Think about it, buying now = no double points, no gift with purchase, etc... Hummm...

Looks good but seems overpriced in the US. Do we have a UK price as it’s not up on the online shop yet?

I love the touch of the standard Star Destroyers. Those pointy wedge plates make them the best rendition of the ISD we've seen at that scale. I also like the use of studs for greebling.

@Shadowcloner and @LegoBatmanLandon: A death star would make for a nice companion piece, but if it were to the same scale, it would get unwieldy.

I don't buy star wars anyway, but 70€ looks ridiculous.

At least I have space for this one

I love it that it's a executor class destroyer as we have seen enough regular star destroyers so far.
Hopefully this will be an entire range of capital ships.

This will look awesome next to my 10221.
Insta-buy!

When trying to find images I came across an expired Ideas submission that looks very similar in terms of scale and design, if not flourish
https://ideas.lego.com/projects/b1b8322c-8de4-4aea-aa9d-e0d2ed2de2cc

Really like this approach compared to previous Midi Scale Falcon and ISD. Makes more sense to use this scale for ships that would only ever get mini or UCS sets rather than waste set slots on making the same vehicle in 100-150$, 30-60$ and 1-15$ price ranges. Was thinking about making my own fleets of mini cruisers that are in scale with each other as a kind of physical tabletop version Empire At War Thrawns Revenge but it's a difficult scale to work with. Kinda sad that starfighters are too small so they can't be acknowledged or have to be 1x1 studs.

The price is harsh though, no way the 1x1 plates in this kit don't offset the slightly larger pieces. Will likely build this out of offbrand parts, that way the stand can be transparent. No need for all that kibble like the ugly name plate and ludicrous anniversary brick.

Both, one for May 4th, one for Autumn. Like every recent year except 2015 or the years with even more releases.

Don't be silly, it's too soon for another X-Wing, 10240 was only... 10 years ago?!??

Don’t Microfighters usually have a minifigure?

Looks good to me - nice scale and display potential. Of course it would be nicer cheaper, but I’m sure with a little patience it will turn up somewhere at a discount. At the very least it’s a sensible move going forward to make a more affordable range that will allow a more varied display - a bit like Bandai and it’s kits at different scales.

Thrawn's Revenge is awesome!

I've done what you lined out - built my own fleet of mini/midi-scale starships. Those are some of my favourite MOCs I've made :)

The above set is pretty cool IMO but I agree with the others that it is too expensive.

Beautiful!
But stupidly expensive here in Oz!
:(
$100 for only 630 pieces, and there’s really not much to it at all! (In terms of size, bulk, minifigs, etc…)
Hopefully one day I can find this at 20-30% off, but I have my doubts….

Hoping for a UCS one at some point as I missed out on the first SSD but this looks very good.

This is like a 40€ set at most, hard pass!

I never saw it before, but this is surprisingly similar to the Hurricane from Eve Online. With a small bit of modding...

Oh I like that! I’ve wanted an Executor, but the other one was too big for me to display! This is a perfect size.

This would be the first Star Wars set in a while that I would consider getting fairly quickly upon release.

And yeah, for once the price seems reasonable for a Star Wars set.

A Super Star Price.

@Legobub21 said:
"Not sure why everyone thinks the price is more out of line than normal. 630 pc count X normal .10 cents a piece count = $63 + Disney/Star Wars premium markup = $70. Branded sets always cost more because Lego has to pay for name use. I will buy to have next to my other diorama sets. Those that say pass, will secretly have in their collection too. "

Because. Most. Sets. Have. Minifigures.

really? am I seeing this right? a super star destroyer that isn't 1,000 dollars? Must buy.

Looks nice to me.
Will wait for the parts list and instructions though instead of purchasing it, since by the looks of it I have enough of the necessary pieces to build this several times over.

Just preordered! Will take less place than its big brother ;-)

Looks great and Yes to anything Midi....... silly Q on a lego.com pre-order I assume you order just it and they ship in May. Placing the order now guarantees the item but you wouldn't get whatever the promotion was on May 1st I assume..... Waiting until May 1st almost certainly gives you a promotional (GWP) but they may have run out of this item...... great.....

I'm now thinking that all the Advent Calendar Star Destroers with their blunted fronts look pretty silly. Hopefully the mini-models here are the AC design going forward (especially if this year's AC is ROTJ themed).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is the first time the ship has been referred to as the 'Executor' on toy packaging. In the past it's been referred to 'Super Star Destroyer' or 'Darth Vader's Star Destroyer'.

The primary reason is that the word sounds a little too similar to 'Executioner' or 'Exterminator', one that may not be suited to a child audience. I wonder what prompted the change here.

I love it. I’ve grown tired of the enormous sets over $500 (recently started taking apart and storing my UCS sets), so this is perfect for me. I don’t think the price is ridiculous either. I’d like to see it at $60, but I can live with $70.

I also think it’s hilarious and sad that The LEGO Group always celebrates the anniversaries of the OT, but never the PT or Clone Wars.

I continue to be so disappointed with mainline Lego Star Wars. Between this sort of thing, those ludicrous dioramas, and the shrunken head helmets, I just can't find much my kids and I would enjoy. And all available at 30% over remotely reasonable value.

I like this, looks pretty decent. Expensive, should be dropped by at least $20. But otherwise, I’m onboard.

If you play Star Wars: Armada, you could totally use this instead of the official miniature - it's close to the same size, and you could break off pieces to reflect damage suffered in battle, too!

70 bucks for generic, mainly small pieces, no figs and what hopefully are two prints. Easy pass. I am still waiting for the moment the greedy Danes come to their senses.

Inlfation or not, the things is this is the new price level. Same goes for groceries. If inflation goes down, stuff doesn’t get back being cheaper.

Another issue is ‘crimpflation’: price increases combined with small amounts of cookies or smaller cookies.

What is Lego’s answer to crimpflation: no printed instructions, poorer quality of bricks?

Oh, boy!
If only a 75357 Home One Mon Calamari Cruiser going next to this!!

(( I think my brain is making a MOC…))

@AcademyofDrX said:
"I'm so jealous of everyone else in the comments here. Have you all been so completely unaffected by inflation that you can't possibly conceive of why Lego prices have gone up?"

I'm resigned to inflation being a factor, but the Disney tax hurts worse. Moreover, there's an esoteric "eyeball" problem with sets like this--it says 630 pieces, but my brain's reaction is "grey stick" that doesn't visually look like 630 pieces. (See also continued discussions on how price per piece is a metric, but not a flawless one--"price per weight" would probably be more accurate.)

Definitely gonna grab this one. £60 seems a little steep but it's nice to get a capital ship at a small scale like this.

@Sandinista said:
"If the Return of the Jedi is the motif of the year, I'm curious which UCS set rumors are true: X-Wing or Jabba's Sail Barge"

Really hoping it is a Jabbas sail barge with a nice selection of minifigs as we haven't had one in 10 years and the leaked image looked great, but knowing Lego it will probably be yet another X-wing (yawn).

Holy cow, out of nowhere! Awesome!

LEGO has already produced two minifigures that go by the name "Executioner," including 75197 (First Order Stormtrooper Executioner) and 75947 (Executioner), so maybe that ship has sailed.

If this was released when I was ten or so, I would still be drooling.

This is an 18+ set. The dioramas are 18+ sets. The helmets are 18+ sets. If you want sets that kids will enjoy more then I suggest you go for the sets aimed at younger age groups. Obi Wan's Starfighter 75333 is pretty decent at $30, although I doubt you can beat the classic Luke's X-Wing 75301 at $50."

That's my issue is that it's all 18+ sets coming. We have the Obi Wan starfighter so yes that's the kind of set we want. Or the AT-TE is another good one we got last year. The problem as I see it is that Lego now produce lots of these "18+" display sets but largely reduce the amount of "playsets". So far this year the TIE bomber is the only playset released or known to be coming. (Aware there is also 1 microfighter and the 501st pack)

I need it!

Price seems fine to me for that piece count.

Now I want them to release a scale-accurate A-wing fighter to crash into the Executor's bridge... alongside a to-scale Death Star II to do the same with the Super Star Destroyer.

The back is totally wrong in shape, they even highlighted it on the box

Obligatory: ITS TOO EXPENSIVE!!! ........ that being said, it will look perfect with my other midi-scale sets 8099 and 7778, and I used some VIP points :)

I absolutely love microscale and I have to have this! I like that the price point is lowish even though the overall size is nice! I do wish it came with some micrfigs.

Looks great, I can't wait to get it, and please make this a recurring subtheme! The price is probably fine, though I would have liked to see an exclusive minifig given the Jedi milestone. In any case, getting this ASAP.

"INCREASE FORWARD FIREPOWER!"

Honestly, I'm more excited by this than any Star Wars set in years. I'm not a major SW fan, so most of the 'main line' sets don't do it for me, and the UCS sets usually aren't worth it, even if they're nice - I love B and Y wings, so I've got those, but that's it.

This is a ship I love, at a scale that is reasonable... I also don't want a 4 foot long model to deal with in my house. Value is arguable, but it's got affordability, so for many customers the value discussion is less important.

poor set...

I saw the article headline and immediately starting excitedly yelling "yes yes yes!!!" as I thought it was an announcement for a new UCS SSD lol, still will take it at microscale.

In fact would love to see Lego make an on going range of the bigger ships in microscale so they are easier to afford and display. Perhaps the the rest of the world could get the Nebulon B frigate for less then the $250+ it costs on the after market

I like the idea, but the price(and subject matter) is a no for me. I'm curious to see if they do any more sets like this.

Finally something that CAN actually be displayed!!! Hopefully they retain the same scale for more SW vessels for the sole purpose of displaying them together. Not everyone has room to display a 600€ set, especially at the rate TLG is churning them.

@GoldenNinja3000 SW "licensing tax" raises this and most SW sets considerably. That's why I personally more or less abstain from this theme (excluding some versatile minifigures for mocing purposes). At least due to the TLG factory in Mexico, one can find in the USA, SW sets with steep discounts compared to Europe.

That’s no moon! It’s a stud the size of Mos Eisley.

@GoldenNinja3000:
For the piece count, I’d normally say $60-65, but never $50. And that’s before the inflation adjustment was factored in.

@iwybs:
Midi-scale was shaping up to be my favorite LSW sub-theme, until it got cut short at two sets. The Nebbie was an awesome addition to the lineup, and I’m all in for a brick-built answer to Galoob’s Action Fleet, or whatever the current equivalent is called.

@LegoBatmanLandon:
Even at this scale, I think your Death Star would be the size of the Epcot sphere.

@Torrent_Studios:
And the product survey leak didn’t include any info about planned release dates, so it’s possible that all/most/many of those sets won’t come until 2024, maybe even 2025.

@lost_scotsman:
When looking through the list of restricted IP that Ideas isn’t allowed to even touch, I keep finding Star Wars on it.

$70.

"This is a neat surprise! The build looks great. I really love these little display sets so I’m glad to see this isn’t a May the Fourth GWP or SDCC exclusive.

No idea how LEGO got to that $70 price though, since for the piece count and overall size this looks like a $50 set at the most. Would’ve bought it day one if it was cheaper but at $70 I’ll have to pass. It really sucks to see all these cool display items (helmets, etc.) overpriced by $20 this year."

It's funny you say that because when I saw the price I was like wow, this doesn't seem as overpriced as other Star Wars sets! I don't buy/collect Star Wars but their prices always seemed absurdly over priced and I thought this looked like a bargain!

I'll die on the hill of Midi Scale and this is just wonderful.

I mean, there are a lot of small pieces, but that's 11 cents/piece which is the norm. Definitely feels expensive for what you get but by piece count it's normal"
Not with 0 minifigs though. You can't tell me there's enough big and/or specialized pieces here to justify higher RRP than 75347 that has the same piece count and comes with 3 figs."

look, don't get me wrong, I definitely think it could/should be cheaper. $70 is definitely a lot for what you get, and you're right that the TIE Bomber is $5 cheaper with figs. PPP isn't everything. But this is a proportionally comparable price to the midi scale Falcon, so I just don't think that this is a random price they've made up, and I don't think you'd ever get anything like this for $50 (or $40, like other commenters are saying).

Looks good but $10-20 over priced. Plus Disney gets no money from me anymore, but I doubt I’d even be able to get this second hand for the price I’d be willing to pay

Funny people call this microscale. 10221 was already microscale since the ship ‘in reality’ is about 19 kilometers long. So this new set is nanoscale?

It looks like it's going to have the same bad proportions as the UCS version: a flat bottom which makes the top plates too steeply angled, which then make it look way too tall.
Well, I already made my own midi-scale many years ago, which may too wide, but I got the hull shapes right and they are all angled, so I'll definitely pass on this one.

@Anonym:
I thought the pattern was one UCS set every May, and one MBS set every other autumn.

@Jackthenipper:
Dammit. Now I want to buy two so I can put Darth Vader on one of them.

@Legobub21:
They’ve all bought into Jang-onomics, and gauge everything on “Am I $X worth of impressed?”

@RaiderOfTheLostBrick:
“Executor” is a word that is most often associated with estates and wills. “Executioner” is a word that is more associated with needing to make sure you’ve got an executor lined up to sort out your estate in accordance with your will.

@Murdoch17:
Sure. Let me go get a 1x1 plate and shave off a corner for you, and also contact Disney and see if you can borrow that giant sphere at Epcot for the weekend.

cool, just the right size, and price is a little high but why not, i pre-ordered *shrug*

After initially liking it, not the price, the ship is a little too narrow?
The large ‘winged’ section should come out a little more, that’ll allow for more greebling in the center section (which seems lacking)and the center back section is too straight. Should taper in more.
I know there’s limitations with scale but maybe at least the back section tapered in more.

It looks good. Extremely expensive, but looks good. I was a SW fan for decades, unfortunately the Disney has killed my love. I would have bought it 20 years ago, even on this price level, but not anymore...

First Executor that's come out in a time where I can buy my own sets. I might have to Bricklink part this one out, but thats a super cool model. And if my stud-counting is correct, the smaller Star Destroyers in the build are to scale with the Executor. Awesome set

If it came to court any decent judge would cite "unfair contract terms" and award significant damages to the individual. Putting a clause in their terms and conditions doesn't make it legally binding if it is blatantly unfair.

I had hoped this was one of the previous unknown sets, 75357 or 75361, but instead it's actually one of the rumoured dioramas.

I’ll be in the minority here and say I don’t need minifigs tacked onto every set. This is a nice display model that can sit on a shelf and look cool. If they added minfigs it would bump up to $80-$85, not give us some for the same price.

I’m hoping they continue with some unique ships going forward.

Midi-scale Stans unite!

A ship that is 50 studs long (by my count) with no minifigs and costs $70!?
I'll pass. Honestly I would have a hard time justifying buying this at $50.

Wow, 70€ and they couldn't even throw in a couple of minifigures? That's gonna be a hard pass for me.

@PurpleDave said:
" @Doctor_Hugh:
Star Wars is clearly listed as a restricted IP, for which no Ideas project can be accepted. Submitting one anyways does not give the project designer exclusive rights to a spacecraft design that’s still under copyright. Anyone trying to sue for that would get laughed out of court, and probably ordered to pay court costs for filing a nuisance lawsuit."
I wasn’t referring to the Executor model, or any specific Ideas submission, nor allowed or disallowed IPs. It’s the notion that LEGO think they can own someone else’s idea or model. If it doesn’t make the review or is rejected at that stage then the originator of that idea can do as they please with it. LEGO stating otherwise is the unfair contract term.

@Doctor_Hugh:
It's a pretty standard clause. If you submit something to a program that offers the potential for monetary gain, they get an exclusive window where you're not allowed to shop it around elsewhere. This is the exact thing that got one person's project kicked off the Bricklink Designer program. Even authors have to deal with this when submitting short stories. Once submitted, they have to wait for a rejection letter before they can send it to someone else.

The fixed time span mostly covers projects that fail to hit 10k, as they'll time out, while also leaving time for projects that barely make it to the 10k club by the deadline to go through review. Where it may seem too one-size-fits-all is projects that clear 10k quickly, but still get rejected. Afterwards, they're still tied up until the clock ticks down, even if they don't involve a licensed IP.

@LegoLover58 said:
"I'm not feeling this one. $70 for a $30-sized mini build."

11 cents per piece on an IP-licensed set is totally reasonable and on the low end of the price per piece spectrum for Star Wars sets. There’s no way this would ever be a $30 set.

No longer available for pre-order in the US. Now listed as coming soon on May 1. Either it shouldn't have gone live when it did or they already sold out of the pre-order allotment in less than 24 hours.

The only SW sets with no minifigs in the last 5 years that broke 11c ppp barrier were 75253 (because of BOOST), 75227 (event exclusive, those tend to be more expensive for no reason), 75278 (half a minifig I guess, plus plenty of bigger, specialized pieces) and 75328 (metallic pieces worth more than gold in LEGO's mind?).
Plenty of SW sets with minifigs that have lower ppc or not much higher than this. Objectively, this set is not "on the low end" unless you completely ignore minifigs, which is just disingenuous.

The trouble with price per brick is that this set contains a lot of single stud pieces. World Map should've been $1000+ with this sort of ppb.

I was so scared at first glance that this would be yet another UCS repeat of something that doesn't need an update (if they update anything it should be the tie interceptor, not another X-wing)

Might actually get this. Might almost scale kinda well with other minis

@MegaBlocks:
World Map benefited from economy of scale, since they were basically giving you a pint each of some of these tiny parts. I don’t see that being likely with this set.

@iwybs said:
"Day one buy if it was an Imperial Star Destroyer, but I'm less interested in the Super. Hope this is the first in a long line of midi scaled capital ships for those of us who don't want $700 versions that take up a whole coffee table."

Lego did do a midi-ISD some time back, 8099, wouldn't be surprised to see them drop a re-design of it.

Another same old star wars ship as before. Boring.

I think it looks good, although an exclusive minifigure would help justify the price, and it would look good on the right side of the stand opposite to the 40th Anniversary Plaque. Admiral Piett, Ozzel or Vader would all have been good picks.
Hoping for more midi-scale in the future!

You call that a ship? That's not a ship. Now, this 10221 is a SHIP!!
