LEGO-Star Wars Partnership Drives Collector Demand

Later coverage did not emphasize a Melbourne exhibition Podracer reveal and instead placed the story within LEGO and Star Wars’s 25‑year partnership, which has produced over 900 sets and roughly 1,300 minifigures. Reporting highlighted recent high‑profile, large-scale releases including an Ultimate Collector’s Series Death Star and other massive licensed builds across LEGO’s portfolio. The piece noted the brand’s broad appeal — from Duplo for toddlers to architectural and display sets for adults — and steady holiday and collector demand. It also described the collector market’s volatility, with rare vintage minifigures fetching high auction prices (one Clone Commander Fox reportedly sold for about £920) while some modern sets, such as an Ahsoka Tano duel set, have been discounted by around 40%. Fan debates over iconic starships like X‑wings, TIE fighters and the Millennium Falcon continue to drive interest in vehicle builds.
