A new leak reportedly outlines one of the largest LEGO Star Wars sets ever planned: the 75457 Executor Super Star Destroyer. The model is said to contain 6,130 pieces and cost $799.99, making it a major potential release for collectors. According to the report, the set is currently planned for October 2026, although LEGO has not officially confirmed the product or its specifications.
What happened
The alleged details were shared on Instagram by carter_bricks04, with the information attributed to a Brick Tap source. The centerpiece is reportedly the Executor, the enormous flagship associated with Darth Vader and prominently featured in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
The leaked set is expected to include a Darth Vader minifigure and the six bounty hunters seen aboard the ship in the film: Dengar, IG-88, Boba Fett, Bossk, Zuckuss, and 4-LOM. The report also points to a smaller Imperial Star Destroyer displayed on a black stand alongside the main model.
If the information is accurate, this would be a substantial increase over LEGO's previous Executor-themed release. The 10221 Super Star Destroyer from 2011 contained 3,152 pieces, meaning the rumored model would have almost twice as many.
Why it matters
The Executor is one of the most recognizable ships in the original Star Wars trilogy, but the previous large-scale LEGO version has long been retired. A new edition would therefore give collectors another opportunity to build the ship while offering a much larger and potentially more detailed display piece.
The reported minifigure lineup is also notable. Rather than focusing only on Vader, the alleged set includes the complete group of bounty hunters shown on the Executor's deck in The Empire Strikes Back. That combination could make the model appealing both as a vehicle build and as a character display.
The price places it firmly in the premium collector category. At $799.99, the rumored set would require a significant investment, while its 6,130 pieces would also make it a substantial construction project. LEGO Star Wars has maintained a strong following for years, supported by both the physical sets and the franchise's many video games, so a release of this scale would attract attention well beyond dedicated collectors.
What to watch next
Nothing in the report confirms that the set will reach stores exactly as described. Product plans, piece counts, prices, release windows, and included figures can change before an official announcement. Fans should treat the October 2026 date and the rest of the specifications as unverified until LEGO provides formal information.
The timing also arrives ahead of a major milestone for the theme. Star Wars will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2027, and several other LEGO Star Wars projects have already been rumored for that year. Whether the Executor launches before that anniversary or becomes part of the broader buildup, it would give the theme a particularly large centerpiece.

Expert View
If the leak proves accurate, this would be more than a simple reissue. The rumored piece count and expanded character lineup suggest LEGO is positioning the Executor as a flagship collector model, while the retired 10221 gives the new set a clear point of comparison. The price will limit its audience, but the scale could make it one of the theme's defining releases.
