It’s been a while since our last LEGO Ideas update but we’re now in the Third 2025 Review Stage and there are some projects that have qualified. The third review period will run until January 5, 2026. We’ll have to see if the LEGO Ideas projects will get hit with viral videos this round or it’ll slow back down to a more manageable count.
Yesterday’s reveal of the LEGO Star Wars Death Star (75419) came with a lot of controversy regarding the design, price, the GWP, and now an Insider Reward item. When the set launches in October, LEGO will also drop a LEGO Star Wars Death Star Supersize Premium Print in the Rewards Center which will cost 5,000 Insider points.
Yes, that is not a typo. The limited edition poster will cost almost $38 worth of Insider points. It measures 80cm (31in) high and 59cm (23in) wide and is limited to only 5,000 globally. To get those 5000 points, you had to spend about $770 to get them. Honestly for that price, you can get some real original vintage posters or prints. Unless you have a ton of points just laying around or if you’re a hardcore LEGO Star Wars fan, I would totally pass on this.
