Based on 8 reviews · thin
The Death Star Trench Run is one of cinema's greatest moments — squeezed into a wall-mounted diorama that charges $70 for 665 pieces and zero minifigs. The scene deserves better than this price tag.
Is the price fair?D+Seventy dollars for 665 pieces and no minifigs is a tough sell, even with the Star Wars tax baked in.
Will you love it?CThe moment is iconic; the set is a middling tribute to it.
Holds its value?B-Modest secondary market legs — not a loss, but don't count on meaningful growth.

The Full Take
Few Star Wars moments hit like the Trench Run, and LEGO® clearly knows nostalgia will do the heavy lifting here. The diorama format is clean — wall-mountable, display-ready, a conversation piece for any shelf — but the build itself is thin for what you're paying. No minifigs means no Luke, no Vader, no R2, which is a strange call for a set built entirely on character drama. The C- overall tells you this is a set that coasts on IP rather than earning its place. If you love the scene deeply enough to hang it on a wall, maybe that's enough — but $70 is a steep ask for a snapshot that feels half-finished.
