The LEGO Group has revealed seven LEGO Star Wars sets for the saga’s 50th anniversary, led by a 3,209-piece brick version of the original 1977 movie poster that costs $299.99 in the US and £259.99 in the UK. All seven go on sale from January 1, 2027.

The Danish toymaker announced the wave from its Billund headquarters on November 12, the same day Lucasfilm and Disney previewed a year of anniversary events. Buy every set at US prices and the bill comes to $749.93 for 7,416 pieces.

The poster is the headline piece

The A New Hope Movie Poster set (75467) turns the original theatrical artwork into 3D wall art standing more than 23 inches (59 cm) tall and 16 inches (40 cm) wide. Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, R2-D2 and C-3PO sit in front of Darth Vader, the Death Star and the Battle of Yavin. It can hang on a wall or lean against one, and it is rated 18+.

There is a catch on timing: LEGO Insiders members get early access on January 1, while everyone else can buy it from January 4.

All seven sets, with price per piece

Price per piece is the rough yardstick many builders use to compare sets. We divided each US price by its piece count:

  • A New Hope Movie Poster (75467): 3,209 pieces, $299.99, about 9.3 cents a piece.
  • Stormtrooper (Concept Art) Helmet (75495): 832 pieces, $79.99, about 9.6 cents.
  • Up-Scaled Luke Skywalker (75482): 981 pieces, $99.99, about 10.2 cents.
  • Mustafar Duel (75470): 372 pieces, $39.99, about 10.8 cents.
  • Darth Vader 2-In-1 Wall Art (75466): 628 pieces, $69.99, about 11.1 cents.
  • Duel On Bespin (75480): 718 pieces, $79.99, about 11.1 cents.
  • Rebel Y-Wing Starfighter (75478): 676 pieces, $79.99, about 11.8 cents.

By that measure the big poster is the best value of the wave and the Y-Wing the priciest, though the smaller sets carry more minifigures for their size. UK buyers pay £654.93 for the full collection. The announcement lists US, euro and sterling prices only, so Canadian shoppers, who pushed the reveal up the trending charts this week, will need to check LEGO’s Canadian store for local pricing.

Ralph McQuarrie’s look, in minifigure form

The anniversary twist is a set of exclusive minifigures based on the concept paintings Ralph McQuarrie made before the first film was shot. The Up-Scaled Luke comes with a concept-art Princess Leia, the Y-Wing with a concept-art Luke, Mustafar Duel with a concept-art Han Solo, and Duel On Bespin with a concept-art Darth Vader. The Stormtrooper helmet is itself modeled on McQuarrie’s early design rather than the trooper seen on screen.

Several sets also include a collectible poster tile, including Empire Strikes Back and Rogue One designs. Darth Vader’s wall art can be built as his helmet or as the “I am your father” line, while Duel On Bespin carries a printed plaque reading “No, I am your father!”
