The Ultimate Star Wars Lego Death Star
By Glen Taylor - Jun 23, 2008
At a mere $399.99, Lego's Death Star (16" x 16.5") is one of those presents you generously buy your kids totally for yourself. So what do you get?
This amazingly detailed battle station features an incredible array of minifigure-scale scenes, moving parts, characters and accessories from Episodes IV and VI on its multiple decks, including the Death Star control room, rotating turbolaser turrets, hangar bay with TIE Advanced starfighter, tractor beam controls, Emperor's throne room, detention block, firing laser cannon, Imperial conference chamber, 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!
Come on, you know you need one, click through for more pics...
