Description

An iconic weapon, built brick by brick

Rather than a vehicle or building, this set focuses on a single, instantly recognisable object from the Star Wars universe: the Darksaber, a black blade with a distinctive silhouette. With 278 pieces and no minifigures included, it is designed as a collector's display piece that can be shown standing or laid flat, similar to a desk or shelf display object. That focus on one single object rather than a full scene sets it apart clearly from larger Star Wars sets built around vehicles or buildings.

Black and grey tones throughout

Black, dark bluish grey, light bluish grey and white match the weapon's dark, metallic look from the films and shows. This restrained palette keeps the finished model cohesive and easy to read from a distance. The darker greys form the hilt and frame, while lighter accents pick out the blade's distinctive shape. Because the palette stays so narrow, every lighter accent stands out clearly against the darker base. The exact colour breakdown is available in the parts list on this page.

100 unique part types

Despite depicting a single object, the set packs in 100 unique part types across its 278 pieces, making for a more detailed build than the finished look alone suggests, with plenty of small elements shaping the hilt, blade profile and stand. That level of detail is most visible where the hilt meets the blade, where several part types work together to form a smooth, curved silhouette. Every piece, with its colour and quantity, is listed on this page.

Suited to collectors and Star Wars fans

With no minifigure included, this set is aimed squarely at collectors who want a single, thematically strong object for a display cabinet or desk. It pairs well with other Star Wars sets, especially those tied to the same character or storyline. For anyone already collecting display models, it makes a compact addition that needs little extra space, sitting comfortably alongside larger builds from the same theme without dominating a shelf.
