LEGO Star Wars sets have long captured the imaginations of fans around the globe, blending intricate design with the epic storytelling of the beloved franchise. Since their debut, these sets have evolved from simple playthings into highly sought-after collector’s items, admired for their detailed recreations of iconic spaceships, characters, and scenes. Over the years, the popularity of LEGO® Star Wars™ has soared, with many retired sets fetching impressive sums on the secondary market, making them not only a nostalgic celebration of the saga but also a smart investment opportunity. In recent years, the surge in demand among collectors has elevated Star Wars LEGO sets to a new level of LEGO investment appeal. As 2025 approaches, several sets are set to retire, and we’re spotlighting five that we believe will prove to be excellent additions to any collection, promising both enduring value and a piece of cinematic history in every build. We have taken a closer look at each of the 5 sets below:

 

 

75394 Imperial Star Destroyer

Unleash your inner space commander with the LEGO Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer (75394), a dynamic buildable starship playset designed for fans aged 10 and up. The top panel lifts off and the side panels fold out to reveal an intricately detailed interior—complete with a bridge, command room, break room, armoury, control panels, and a cargo box with thermal detonator elements—that brings the saga to life. Accompanied by seven iconic minifigures, including Darth Vader, Commander Praji, and a special 25th anniversary Cal Kestis, plus an array of accessories to recreate epic Star Wars: A New Hope moments, this set is as engaging as it is collectible. At Investabrick, we see the LEGO Imperial Star Destroyer as a great investment from the Episode IV sub-theme, projecting that LEGO 75394 will double in value over the next three years.

 

 

75355 X-Wing Starfighter

Relive the thrilling moments of the Star Wars trilogy and Star Wars: The Mandalorian with the incredibly detailed LEGO Ultimate Collector Series X-Wing Starfighter (Set 75355). This impressive set features an opening cockpit, a dedicated spot for your R2-D2 LEGO droid figure, and wings that effortlessly flip from flight to attack mode with just the flick of a switch. Measuring over 55 cm long, it comes with a buildable display stand complete with a plaque showcasing the technical data of this iconic spacecraft. In addition to its captivating design and immersive play experience, LEGO 75355 is also expected to be a strong investment—its value is projected to almost double within three years post-retirement.

 

 

75304 Darth Vader Helmet

Celebrate the Dark Side with the LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Helmet (75304). This collectible set invites you to embark on a detailed building journey that recreates the iconic, menacing design of the Dark Lord’s helmet. As you piece together its striking, sinister details, you’ll find yourself reliving some of the most memorable scenes from the Star Wars saga. Compact in size yet powerful in presence, it comes with a display stand and nameplate—making it the perfect centerpiece for any room. And for those with an eye on long-term value, LEGO 75304 is a standout investment from the Helmet Collection, with projections suggesting over 130% growth in value within five years post-retirement.

 

 

75357 Ghost & Phantom II

Recreate iconic scenes with the LEGO models of the Ghost & Phantom II starships with this set. The Ghost model comes equipped with two lever-activated, spring-loaded shooters, a dual minifigure cockpit with a removable front section, a cabin with two opening hatches, and even a detachable turret featuring a non-shooting cannon with space for a LEGO minifigure. Complementing this is the Phantom II shuttle, which boasts an opening minifigure cockpit and a convenient storage compartment. The set also includes five Star Wars characters, such as the General Hera Syndulla LEGO minifigure and the Chopper (C1-10P) LEGO droid figure. With a total of 1,394 pieces, the Ghost starship measures over 12 cm high, 34 cm long, and 26 cm wide. The LEGO Ghost and Phantom II is projected to see over 90% growth within the first three years post-retirement, making it not only a fan-favourite but also a savvy investment choice.

 

 

75377 Invisible Hand

Step into the epic universe of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith with the LEGO Star Wars Invisible Hand (75377). This buildable model from the Starship Collection lets you lead the Separatist fleet into battle, complete with authentic details like the hangar where Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi landed in their starfighters. Creatively designed connector bricks and clips allow the front half of the ship to separate from the rear, echoing its dramatic split during its descent through Coruscant’s atmosphere. Presented on a buildable stand with a nameplate and a commemorative LEGO Star Wars 25th Anniversary brick, this display model is as striking as it is nostalgic. A great looking LEGO Star Wars display model, LEGO 75377 is one we project to more than double in value within four years after retirement, making it both a centerpiece and a savvy investment for any collector.
