This year’s flagship LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series set is rumoured to be Jabba’s Sail Barge, coming in at an even higher price than last year’s 75331 The Razor Crest.
Instagram user lego_insider_news reports that 75367 Jabba’s Sail Barge will launch in October for an eye-watering $649.99, which in relative terms is probably as egregious as the Hutt Lord’s bounty on Han Solo. For comparison’s sake, 75331 The Razor Crest retails for $599.99, while the biggest LEGO Star Wars sets – 75192 Millennium Falcon and 75313 AT-AT – are now priced at $849.99 in the US.
The Sail Barge would still be some way off the most expensive LEGO Star Wars set yet, but at 5,374 pieces (according to the same source) it would be the fourth-largest. 75331 The Razor Crest includes 6,187 pieces for what would be $50 less than 75367 Jabba’s Sail Barge, but you can see much of the budget of a barge being cannibalised by a moulded Jabba figure and its specialist sails.
Whether the Khetanna (as it’s known in-universe) would need that kind of budget is another matter entirely. To date, we’ve had a grand total of two renditions of the luxury barge in LEGO bricks: first in 2006’s 6210 Jabba’s Sail Barge, and then again in 2013’s 75020 Jabba’s Sail Barge. Both were pitched as playsets for minifigures, but only the former included a Desert Skiff and the Sarlacc pit. For the number of pieces rumoured, you’d suspect both might appear in a UCS set.
75020 Jabba’s Sail Barge originally arrived on shelves in time for Return of the Jedi’s 30th anniversary, and a UCS set this year would therefore celebrate the film’s 40th anniversary. It’s an occasion the LEGO Group has already acknowledged through sets like 75347 TIE Bomber and 75356 Executor Super Star Destroyer, so it’s not too much of a stretch to imagine an Ultimate Collector Series set inspired specifically by Episode VI.

Whether it’s Jabba’s Sail Barge or something else is yet to be confirmed, and for the moment, this set is still just a rumour. (Even lego_insider_news emphasises to ‘take it with a grain of salt’, while a couple of familiar names in the comments seem sceptical.) We’d advise placing even less stock in this source than usual, just to be on the safe side – but then that’s half the fun of LEGO rumours…

Chris WharfeI like to think of myself as a journalist first, LEGO fan second, but we all know that’s not really the case. Journalism does run through my veins, though, like some kind of weird literary blood – the sort that will no doubt one day lead to a stress-induced heart malfunction. It’s like smoking, only worse. Thankfully, I get to write about LEGO until then.Latest entries
