The single sticker in the set is the specification panel. Each inner box is printed on the top and sides with schematics of the LEGO ISD.Īs with the UCS Falcon, the printing on the sides of the boxes fit together to form a different design, showing the ISD from the underside. White inner boxes contain all of the parts for the set - there are no loose bags alongside the inner boxes. This is a subtle touch that heightens the “premium” perception of the set, though no LEGO Star Wars set has yet achieved the same feeling of luxury in its packaging as LEGO Technic sets like 42056 Porsche 911 GT3 RS three years ago. Opening the outer flaps reveals inner flaps printed with the Imperial logo beneath a top-down view of the ISD. In what we believe is a first for large LEGO sets, the box includes instructions on how to open it, with a small graphic of a utility knife cutting open the tape holding the flaps closed. The back of the box shows the LEGO model in a more realistic setting, complete with the stand, specification plaque, and minifigures, as well as the Rebel Blockade Runner attached near the port side bow.
It’s worth noting that the detailed retail box ships in a large, plain cardboard box that fits snugly around the retail box, but the damaged corners indicate that the shipping box is no proof against the inner box getting roughed up in transit. The “Ultimate Collector Series” branding is unambiguous in the upper banner of the box. The front of the box shows the ISD Devastator over Tatooine, without the stand, and with the Tantive IV flying alongside (or below - about to be swallowed into the docking bay). The new UCS Imperial Star Destroyer ships in a large square box similar in both size and design to the huge box that so surprised us when 75192 UCS Millennium Falcon arrived on our doorstep exactly two years ago. But is there more to this huge LEGO set than gray wedge plates? Let’s find out…
Depicting Darth Vader’s flagship Devastator seen at the end of Rogue One leading into the first moments of A New Hope, this is the first UCS ISD since 10030 in 2002 and the first UCS set since 75181 Y-wing Starfighter nearly 18 months ago. The LEGO Star Wars line’s latest massive set in the Ultimate Collector Series is 75252 Imperial Star Destroyer, clocking in at a whopping 4,784 pieces and two minifigures, with a price to match the part count ( US $699.99 | CAN $849.99 | UK £649.99).
