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.

Apparently it's not out yet, as I can't seem to find a release date, but dang that's alot of Star Wars Lego-ey goodness. 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.
I have to admit I'd rather have the LEGO Millennium Falcon, but it's still really cool.
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!

Because The GHost is teh awesome, my dtoid playing card:
For Wiisucks:
Hi! My name is Jack Klassen.! I'm a completely ordinary teenage boy from San Diego, California. My interests include soccer, surfing, writing poetry, and luge. I am homeschooled by my father who fought in the Korean War and was exposed to nerve gas. He is kind of crazy but I still love him. We got the Internet two years ago and I started making new friends on Yahoo! messenger. Surprisingly, most of these new friends were older men who wanted to have illegal, underage sex with me. Needless to say, I got a boner like a rocketship and cybersex quickly became my favorite thing in the entire world. Wait, did I say boner like a rocketship? I meant my vagina got as wet as Lake Titicaca. I started saving all of the hot chat sessions I was having with the Pakistanis, lesbians, child molesters and other monsters who were instant messaging me all day and all night, and I decided to put them up here on this website so you can see exactly how disgusting the entire human race is. Since then, I have been in a waterskiing accident that mangled my genitals beyond repair, been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, brain cancer, and Crohn's disease, learned to speak Urdu and French, covered my naked body in superglue, went to French lesbian camp, made a Hindu eat a roast beef sandwich out of my vagina, and ruined perfectly good cybersex for at least one hundred people. Use the menu above to find out more about me and start reading my sexy adventures,

I CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME!
Wow... I so would have a room of just Lego if I could and if I could afford to. 400$... wow. But, so awesome.
If purchased this should be built and put into a glass case for safe keeping. It is truely Lego epicness at it's finest.
Holy Christ, DO WANT !
HOLY BUTTSECKS BATMAN!!!
Damn that is amazing
Yes it is pretty epic and sweet but expensive. Man, LEGOS cost a lot.
Sweet Christ, it's beautiful.
Massive want. This and the Millenium falcon set that came out are just superb.
Boy I wish I was 8 so I could bring myself to care about legos.
So expensive.
SO WORTH IT THOUGH!
Sound investment. I mean, it can't RRoD, right?
400 bucks!!!
AS awesome as this is...there's no way I can justify paying that much for Legos.
I'd buy it, but my constant salivation would probably cause water damage.
Holly flying it`s not a moon shit, i want that badly.
Damn....
This is something we can all get behind. I love you, Blehman.
This is amazing!!
AHEM
Still, it's pretty cool.
Wow... I need more disposable income.
360 or LEGO Death star, which one's the best?
By that Imeant which one should I get?
OH WORD!?
Jesus I forgot how much big lego sets were. I feel bad for making my parents buy them.
DO WANT
That is awesome!
400 bucks?
TOTALLY WORTH IT
Kind of silly, but damn that's alot of lego men! DO WANT, but for that price do not want as much as the Star Destroyer or Millenium Falcon.
I am both amused and aroused.
I have to admit I'd rather have the LEGO Millennium Falcon, but it's still really cool.
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!
DO TOTALLY WANT!!! :D
