As epic as this could be, we've had so many versions of all the star wars minifigures over the last few years is there anything unique this can really offer given the cost.

It sounds like a mash up between the first and second e.g.:
Death Star™ 75159 | Star Wars™ | Buy online at the Official LEGO® Shop GB
Win the battle for the Empire with the awesome Death Star!

Edit: ~$1000 is a bit of an ask though, even on offer you are looking at shelling out £600-£700

The UCS AT AT was c£750 at launch but that had a USP being a proper minifig 1:1 scale.
Depending on conversion/exchange rate this could be £850-£1k and if a fully spherical base won't be big enough to hit the 1:1 minifig scale like the Sail Barge, Millenium Falcon, Razor Quest and AT AT. So what's its USP?
I wasn't a fan of the design of the Death Star II being mostly open but that's my personal preference.
Let's say it's a mid construction but fully operational as per a New Hope Death Star I (going to be more in demand), c8k-9k pieces with a removable outer shell and is fully modular so comes apart into multiple diorama. Hopefully they invest all the piece count in the main build and piece count won't be padded out with the quasi micromidi scale ships (Tie Advance + Shuttle) like in some recent sets ie the Yavin base.
Alternatively would be an enhanced modular Death Star II with outer shell plus the Endor Shield Generator Scene and some Ewoks as these are rumoured due a return too aren't they?
Final Option is a Convertible and fully modular Death Star I + II to tie into both movies and given the rumoured return of Endor scenes and Ewok village.
The minifigs are meaningless since so many versions of every figure already exist.
I can see this selling well but pricing is rough.
@dcsarge yep that would do it.

If they did the death star at 1:1 scale for £1000 that would definitely be worth it, might need a whole room for it though
.Wasn't the last one about an RRP of £400, although that must have been a decade ago.
Not yet, seen a few on AliExpress that look quite decent too many official ones coming out for the family collection. Not the F1 collection though, that just adds a silly number of similar cars.
On the Lego website for preorder now £69.99.Hope this is genuine, looks amazing.
Epic!The arse and belly now completed. Bag 11 next.
Has anyone built the Volkswagen T2 Camper Van 10279? https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/volkswagen-t2-camper-van-10279
I’m struggling with the pop top roof, the spring mechanism just keeps pulling it apart, it’s very frustrating!

And we’re done with the main build (only 2 missing pieces, one of which I am still waiting for). A very clever build, albeit a bit delicate in places, but the legs are solid. Just the ATST and snowspeeder to add.

Just finished Luke's speeder. Just got the venator left and I'll have to buy something else after that. My sone likes playing with the ATAT and the troopers which is why they are all over.

Well I finally finished the UCS SD, the top panels were a nightmare and I broke two pieces over applying pressure for the ball joints to pop into the sockets. 
I have 2 more pieces being sent out to me.
Need to buy some decent shelving as sitting on the TV cabinet is not ideal.
