But if you were especially lucky (or especially wealthy), you might have had the opportunity to construct truly massive LEGO sets like the Taj Majal, Shield Helicarrier, or even the fabled Death Star Itself. Below are the 11 biggest pre-made sets the LEGO company has ever released, sorted by number of pieces. exclusives or are out-of-print, so don't expect to nab them for their MSRP. For the ultimate Marvel Cinematic Universe fan, the Shield Helicarrier comes with five Avengers minifigures, a big bunch of manofigures, and functioning turbines powered by AAA batteries with a special add-on. Along with a few thousand other tiny details. The Ultimate Collector Series version of the Imperial Star Destroyer is full of interior detail that doesn't actually show up when the entire beast is assembled.
But the most impressive thing about this set is its sheer size - it's over three feet long! Long out of production, it now routinely sells for over $2,000. Did we say the Imperial Star Destroyer was big? If you want to build this Super Star Destroyer, you're going to need an even bigger table - this massive model is more than four feet long when fully assembled. Its custom minifigs are a nice touch. The Grand Carousel is an epic set for its detail, not for its sheer size. Its complex, colorful, and is (of course) fully motorized. If you're a big Star Wars fan, these probably are the droid you're looking for. In addition to several fun droid minifigs (Gonk Droid!), this 2014 version of the Sandcrawler model comes with functioning treads, and of course a ridiculous amount of internal detail. It's also got nearly twice as many pieces as the original 2005 UCS edition. After its fully assembled, this Eiffel Tower stands over four feet tall! It's a challenging build, making it perfect for LEGO pros. Newbies might want to pick a set that isn't almost all grey pieces.
The Death Star II, like every model on this list, is absolutely massive, of course. But it includes a lot of neat smaller details, too. I'm especially found of the physical lasers. LEGO's 2008 Death Star is a different kind of LEGO set. Plenty of these massive models have interior detail, but it's usually hidden away. This Death Star takes a diorama approach, allowing you to see lots of movie scenes all in one model. This set is rumored to end its long run and go out of production soon. Some hardcore LEGO fans dislike the Tower Bridge build since you basically have to build the same tower twice, but it's still a hugely impressive and aesthetically pleasing model. What is there left to say about the Ultimate Collector's Millennium Falcon? It's just plain awesome, all-around. Fantastic build experience, epic scope, nice minifigs, and great detail. If you didn't snag one when it came out in 2007, expect to shell out as much as $6,000 to buy it in-box now. LEGO's Taj Mahal set clocks in at almost 6,000 pieces, making it the biggest individual LEGO set ever made.
The finished model is over 20 inches wide and over 16 inches tall, making it an imposing model to say the least. Have you ever been fortunate enough to construct one of these sets yourself?

Not only is it immense and impressively detailed but it commands the highest price of all Star Wars sets on the market today.The Millennium Falcon 10179 1st Edition set was introduced in 2007 and has been discontinued for some time now. There is a smaller edition of this set #7965 available for sale for a more reasonable price in the low hundreds but for the true collector of either Legos or Star Wars memorabilia this is the cream of the crop.It has over 5000 pieces and should take an advanced builder around 20-24 hours to build meaning it is going to occupy your time like no other Lego set you've ever put together - that is if you choose to open the box in the first place.
So how much does a set like this cost?New on Amazon you can see this thing is going to run you quite a bit. If you're up for the challenge of buying via eBay auctions you can almost always save hundreds if not a thousand dollars or more.It generally runs more if it's in an unopened box state. If it is new in box (NIB) or new in bag (NIB) this will make it more of a collector's investment piece. If you want to build the set then opened boxes complete with all pieces will run you slightly less.The simple truth however is that this set will easily run you $1000 plus and in some cases as high as a few thousand dollars. If you want one however this page will help identify the set for you in the price range that is affordable to you... and if you've never purchased at auction before then you will either have to learn otherwise you'll have to put up with a marked up price from distributors or middlemen.For instance as of today's writing (Jan 2013) Amazon sells the #10179 Millennium Falcon Lego Set for a little over $3000 (see above for more timely pricing) but you can almost get it for a lot less on eBay.Factory Sealed - NIB Millennium Falcon Ultimate Collector's Edition Lego SetThe best investment and the most expensive way to buy this set is to buy it in factory sealed condition.
