So, I was checking round the ol interwebs, when something caught my eye. Something big. And round. And sexy. No, no, I'm not talking about elder porn you silly bastards, I'm talking about this new totally awesome Death Star Lego Diorama. O_o
This set is the awesome. It is priced a little steep, but for all the cool junk you get with it, I'd get it. You know, if I didn't already have my PAX plane tickets and junk. Speaking of which, do you have yours? There's really no excuse...wait, wait, back to Star Wars. Anyway, here's the official line. "#10188 Death Star™ Ages 12+. 3,803 pieces. $399.99 Recreate the action and adventure of the Star Wars™ movies with the ultimate Death Star™ playset!

Its different decks include the Death Star control room, moving turbolaser turrets, hangar bay with TIE Advanced starfighter, tractor beam controls, Emperor’s throne room, detention block, Imperial conference room, droid maintenance facility, and the powerful Death Star superlaser, plus much more! Swing across the chasm with Luke and Leia, face danger in the crushing trash compactor, and duel with Darth Vader for the fate of the galaxy. With over 3,800 pieces, the Death Star measures 16” tall and 16½” wide when completed. Includes 25 Star Wars minifigures and droids!

Edit: Apparently, I don't even read my own blogs, as it's right there in the press release. So, comes out Sep. 1. Pre-ordering already available. Here's another pic of the station, and one of the figures.

SO WORTH IT THOUGH!
AS awesome as this is...there's no way I can justify paying that much for Legos.
Still, it's pretty cool.
Jesus I forgot how much big lego sets were. I feel bad for making my parents buy them.
TOTALLY WORTH IT
Also, I find it humorous they have such a thing as "exclusive" LEGO figurines when all you have to do is swap some heads and voila, Stormtrooper Luke Skywalker is born!
