The LEGO Star Wars Executor Super Star Destroyer, a scaled replica of Darth Vader's flagship, is the longest build in the company's history, measuring 53.5 inches – close to four-and-a-half feet in total. It displaces the LEGO Titanic from the top spot, which measured 53.1 inches. The difference between the two sets is .4 inches – a little over the width of a single, one-studded square tile.
It might be that the designers are bumping against the upper limit of how long a set can be while also remaining commercially viable. Since I built the Executor, it's been sitting on the work desk in my house, and nothing else can fit on that desk at the same time. The first thing you'll want to do, before you even think of buying this set, is make sure you have the room to display it. It is 7.5 inches high, 53.5 inches long, and 20 inches wide. To illustrate how big that is more subjectively: I could easily believe this build was a show display – the type of thing you might see at a LEGO convention or in a toy museum, under glass – rather than a set available for retail purchase, as this one is.
The LEGO Executor Super Star Destroyer comes in two separate boxes, spread out over 54 bags and four instruction booklets. The first thing you build is a tiny Imperial Star Destroyer Devastator. This is one of the first ships we see in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope when it's chasing after the Tantive IV, during the scene where Leia escapes with the Death Star plans.
