Ultimate Collector Series
In addition to the regular minifigure-scale sets, Lego has released a smaller number for the Ultimate Collector Series (UCS). These models are considerably larger and more detailed and are meant for display purposes and cost more than regular Lego sets. Many of them include an information plaque and often a display stand. On October 1, 2007, the Lego Group released a UCS version of the Millennium Falcon, complete with 5 minifigures. At 5195 pieces, it is the largest Lego Star Wars set ever released; and the second largest set of any collection ever commercially released (only topped by the Lego Taj Mahal). The newest Ultimate Collector Series set is the B-Wing fighter.

Famous quotes containing the words ultimate, collector and/or series:
“Books may be burned and cities sacked, but truth like the yearning for freedom, lives in the hearts of humble men and women. The ultimate victory, the ultimate victory of tomorrow is with democracy; and true democracy with education, for no people in all the world can be kept eternally ignorant or eternally enslaved.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“Though collecting quotations could be considered as merely an ironic mimetism—victimless collecting, as it were ... in a world that is well on its way to becoming one vast quarry, the collector becomes someone engaged in a pious work of salvage. The course of modern history having already sapped the traditions and shattered the living wholes in which precious objects once found their place, the collector may now in good conscience go about excavating the choicer, more emblematic fragments.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“I thought I never wanted to be a father. A child seemed to be a series of limitations and responsibilities that offered no reward. But when I experienced the perfection of fatherhood, the rest of the world remade itself before my eyes.”
—Kent Nerburn (20th century)
