Conclusion
An utterly stunning model from the ever reliable Star Wars theme and the great UCS sub-theme, this set has been a LEGO exclusive since release, and even at the highest RRP for a retail set demand is strong. Scheduled to be retired later this year, the set has rarely been discounted and we don’t expect that to change before retirement, you may see 20% discounts if there is still stock but wouldn’t expect any deeper discounting. If the price tag fits within your portfolio and you have the room to store then we would be adding this to the collection before it disappears off the shelves for good.
