Lego Deathstar





Just when I think I’ve really, genuinely lost my bizarre passion for Lego technics they go and produce this:

Lego Death Star 1

And, in one fell swoop, condemn me to a weekend of pressing little plastic bricks together just so I can put the whole thing in the loft the following weekend. Clever bastards…

Seen on Gizmodo

  1. wonder how big this is?

  2. Its as big as a planet.

    It has over 3k pieces – i would love to see the construction manual. I’d imagine it would take years to build and just as your nearly finished some little rebels come along and wreck it… :P

  3. heh – good point chris – it’s all grey innit? must be a nightmare trying to find that last ‘two’ block :)

  4. It’s 19 inches across, 24 inches high. Retails for $299. My BF wants one for Christmas. I belive it becomes available in October.

  5. Hey guys, I just completed a 1748 piece lego (REBEL Blockade Runner) and I am looking for another difficult challenge… any information? it took me about 14 to 16 hours to build this REBEL one, so i want to built another one 2000 pieces to 4000 pieces, so if ya know any cool and fun ones like that, go head and list it, thx

  6. Hi, I just opened the deathstar, OH MY, lets see how long this takes!!!!!! Very nice packaging as usual.
