Ep. 81 - The UCS Darth Maul Bust - The Full Review

The Imagination Brickshop’s LEGO Brickcast

Brace yourself, brickheads—today we're diving face-first into one of the weirdest, wildest, and most unsettlingly enormous LEGO sets ever to menace a shelf. We’re talking about set 10018: the UCS Darth Maul Bust, a 2001 relic from a galaxy far, far away and one of the very first Ultimate Collector's Series sets LEGO ever unleashed on the world. Back then, this Sith sculpture would set you back a mere $150. Fast forward to now, and if you want a brand-new one, you'll need to cough up over $4000—or trade in a speeder and maybe a limb.

Why so much? Maybe it’s the 1,868 pieces. Maybe it’s the nostalgia. Or maybe it’s because this thing is massive, and staring into its dead red eyes feels like Maul himself is judging your life choices. It's part modern art, part nightmare fuel—and we’re breaking it all down in this episode.

We’ll talk size, price, history, and most importantly: why does this thing look like it might start whispering dark side secrets in the middle of the night? Click play, unless you’re afraid of giant LEGO Sith Lords watching you sleep...

Warning: prolonged exposure may result in spontaneous lightsaber duels.
