Quite possibly the most anticipated new set of 2008 is now shipping from the LEGO Shop. (No, no — not 7979 Castle Advent Calendar!)
Yes, that’s right, 10188 Death Star is now available and shipping from the LEGO Shop online.
3,803 pieces. 24 minifigs (counting brick-built droids). 399.99 USD. Time to empty your wallets, boys and girls!
If nearly $400 isn’t your thing but you still want a LEGO Death Star, 10143 Death Star II™ is still available at 199.99 USD. ;)
this thing? 400? wow…it looks sooooo small
Grrrrr….
I thought it was a mis-print, but apparently it is ONLY 400 bucks USD. Jeepers. If it was that price in Canadian funds, I might consider it — however, tack on a FULL hundred dollars just because I live this-side-of-Buffalo.
It’s freaking nuts, man. I’m really seething here. There’s no justification for the price gouge — especially when it comes to online sales (not retail).

It has every scene that ever happend on the Death Star!!!
Pat, does it blow up? :-p
I’ve just finished building mine – 3 days (18 hours) of toil – all recorded in my Flickr photostream here:

Dr. S, WOW, that is amazing! Thanks for the photos. Nice to see each level in progress. Did the box weigh a ton when it arrived?
Yeah, it was pretty heavy.
