Reddit User Buys LEGO Star Wars UCS Death Star (75419) For $0

October 1, 2025 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO Star Wars UCS Death Star (75419) is by no means a cheap set but a user on Reddit has managed to get it for “free” using only Insiders points. Of course, if you’ve been buying LEGO throughout the years and hoarding all the points without using them, a big purchase like this is valid.

It required the user to use 129,998 Insiders points to get the max discount of $999.99 but it was easy for them since they’ve already banked over 150k points. Each $1 you spend earns you 6.5 points so you had to have already spent $20,000 to get the points in the first place. Even if you just shopped during the double points event, $10,000 is still a lot for anybody. LEGO also sometimes did the 4x events but those were rare.

Kudos to the user that did it and we’re not worthy. I thought I had a lot of points but there’s many people out there that have way more.
