This is what a (nearly) complete LEGO Star Wars collection looks like in 2023

Wondering what a complete LEGO Star Wars collection looks like in 2023? Here’s your answer – minus one super-rare minifigure…

LEGO Star Wars as a theme is now in its 24th year on shelves, and currently boasts almost 900 sets, polybags, magazine freebies and accessory packs. Collecting every single product released under that banner (not to mention every minifigure) is a feat few have achieved, and fewer still have actually shown off on the internet for the rest of us to gaze upon in envy.

For better or worse, that’s exactly what redditor livefast6221 has just done over on the LEGO Star Wars subreddit. Their staggeringly comprehensive collection encompasses every single LEGO set, minifigure and promotional release from 1999 to 2022, along with at least a handful of 2023 releases (we can spot 40615 Tusken Raider on the BrickHeadz shelf, for example).

That includes everything from Ultimate Collector Series holy grails like 75192 Millennium Falcon (built into a Death Star hangar diorama) to the much-maligned buildable figures series, right through to super-rare promotional minifigures and characters like chrome Darth Vader and black-haired Kanan Jarrus. There’s a lot to take in across these images, so we’ll give you a moment just to process everything.

If you’re scouring the images to figure out what’s missing, we’ll save you the trouble: livefast6221 admitted on their reddit post that Finch Dallow, a sequel trilogy minifigure only included in late production runs of 75188 Resistance Bomber, has eluded them so far. But they do say they’ll ‘get him eventually’ – presumably once they come up with the huge funds required to pick up the minifigure on the aftermarket.

“But wait,” we hear you say, “if they’ve already bought every single LEGO Star Wars set there is, surely they have the cash to pick up our old pal Finch?” Well, you might be surprised – according to livefast6221, the majority of the stuff you see here is ‘close to cost neutral’. They apparently started collecting around seven years ago, and got really lucky with bulk buys before the secondary market went through the roof during the pandemic.

Snapping up bulk lots and selling off duplicate sets and minifigures is a tried and tested method for building up a big LEGO collection, even if it’s a little harder to do than it once was (now everyone and their mother seems wise to the crazy value some LEGO Star Wars sets and minifigures command). Few of us will be fortunate enough to find the uber-rare Cloud City Boba Fett minifigure in a $150 lot, for example.

A couple more caveats to this collection: the builder says they don’t count 31200 Star Wars: The Sith or the LEGO Star Wars MINDSTORMS sets as part of the main LEGO Star Wars theme, so you won’t see those here. And they’re clearly still waiting to add the brand new May the 4th releases to their shelves, although your guess is as good as ours as to where they’re going to fit.

If this has inspired you to attempt to complete your own LEGO Star Wars collection, well, good luck. It’s not going to be cheap or easy (and the less said about dusting, the better). But it does look pretty amazing…
