LEGO Define Details On The Star Wars Master Builder Series

Recently, LEGO announced a new deluxe Star Wars series, Betrayal at Cloud City, which is part of a new series called “The Master Builder Series”, which has similar packaging to the Ultimate Collector Series.  This caused some confusion among Star Wars fans between the two series, which resulted in LEGO issuing the following statement:

‘The Master Builder Series models are large playsets and beside being complex builds they are characterised by having many play features and functions, interior details as well as a range of minifigures. Ultimate Collectors series [sic] will remain highly detailed display models providing complex builds with a focus on authenticity and both Ultimate Collectors Series and Master Builder Series will continue as a way to highlight the unique characteristic of each style of model.’

This confirms that there will be two different deluxe Star Wars series from LEGO, The Ultimate Collectors Series and The Master Builder Series.

The new Betrayal at Cloud City set will be released on September 13th on Shop.LEGO.com
