LEGO Star Wars 75159 UCS Death Star (Ultimate Collector Series)

To finish with the LEGO Star Wars set 75159 Death Star about which we have already talked a lot (too much) in recent weeks, LEGO is finally going there with its official announcement with detailed description and very high resolution visuals.

I cannot resist the pleasure of reproducing for you below the small pamphlet which accompanied the press release sent to the LUGs: LEGO confirms that this set is therefore an update of the previous version and insists in passing on the fact that the marketing of this "version 2016"of an existing set is not a clue in favor of possible future reissues of other sets ...

The LEGO® Star Wars™ Death Star ™ was a huge hit with fans when it launched in 2008 and we are excited to announce that we have made some awesome updates and improvements to this huge model!  

Our designers added over 200 bricks and elements as well 3 new minifigures.

This 2016 version offers a great building experience to both those fans who have the original set, and those who may be new to the LEGO® Star Wars™ universe.

This is not an indication of any future re-release or set updates.
