If, at some point in the future, a Doper happens to have a rich uncle pass away, or win the lottery, or nail “00” on the roulette wheel six times in the row…
Well, if you have any extra cash, I really want one of these. Please?
Yep, it’s an Imperial Star Destroyer. Three thousand, one hundred and four pieces of Lego Heaven. Well over three feet long, not quite two feet wide, and more than a foot and a half tall.
How freakin’ cool is that.
I think it’s the biggest Lego kit ever. I’m in love.
It’s a strange feeling to be 32 years old and suddenly realize that a toy is what one needs to make one’s life complete.
Wow. Also comes with a Corellian Corvette, for opening-scene recreation.
Unfortunately, I already have the Puzz3d one constructed and sitting on a shelf in the living room. If I had two of them, there’s nothing left but to nail the doors shut from the outside, because I’d be too nerdy to mingle with human society.
Come to my house, the child has enough lego to re-enact evolution. We are damn near drowning in the stuff. If he ever sees your link I will have to hunt you down, build a small air tight lego room and wait till you suffocate then build you a “Here lies Darth Nader” crypt. I shall chortle merrily at that point. Lego has cost me a fortune over the years and it’s the childs birthday very soon…more BLOODY LEGO!!!
I would die a happy man in that room, calm kiwi. Could you also make my pharoh-style burial offerings out of lego, please?
BraheSilver, sorry about your nose. Can you buy those puzzles online? WHERE? I need one of those now, too. And it’s gotta be cheaper than the Lego version, right?
You name it we have the Lego for it! We even have creepy lego spiders and skeletons that came with a whole Eygptian Lego Nightmare. I almost want to out live my child so I can make him a Lego coffin.
Almost but not really…I love him just a bit more then I hate Lego. Ok…I don’t hate Lego (it’s actually really very cool) I just hate the fact that it has taken over my house.
I bought the Imperial Star Destroyer Lego set for my SO on his birthday a couple months ago. He absolutely loved it and finished building the thing within a week.
Darth: While looking for that picture on Google, there were apparently a great many stores selling it, so it shouldn’t be too hard to find one. I got mine years ago at a KB’s for ten bucks (on clearance) so now either they’re very cheap or they’re collector’s items and very expensive.
Mindstorms are quite cool. I currently have Orange the Yellow Robot roaming my room. He often wedges himself under things, but he’s quite fun to play with anyway.
I remember Target had a 5’ tall Statue of Liberty made of legos… also replaced it with a 6’ tall Space Shuttle on the launch pad (that big roller which brings it out to the launch site).
Some of the coolest stuff ever, I used to want that job. Get paid to make things out of legos
Mangetout, I just wanted to say that I’m extremely jealous of you. I wanted to go to Legoland all summer, but classes kept me tied up the entire time. Now, the fall semester has started again.
Sigh…One day…I know I’ll get to see the giant Lego models in person.
Someone started a thread about the ISD sometime last winter and I went home to my wife crying and tearing my hair out because I knew we could never afford to buy one.
yeah, i want one of the ISDs, altho i’d probably fail my degree cos i’d be building it. UNLESS… what if i made it actually hover, and made it capable of making it’s own decisions… damn, i think i could graduate a year early
