Here it is then in all it's glory:

I wouldn't be too proud of that plastic terror he's constructed. The ability to make a big round ball is insignificant compared to the power of mechano. You may find my lack of faith disturbing though.

Now throw it out the window and take a picture of it splattered across the pavement.
That is what happened to the Death Start you know. It was splattered. Mmmmmhmmm.
-
That's truly a thing of beauty.

Nice! How long did it take to build that? I'd expect sorting out the legos took the most time :)

Don't get my started about sorting out the Lego. In most other models in recent years if over a certain size they number the bags and you only open the ones for the number your on, not with this though. Had to just open everything and go with it. The main box had 4 sub boxes in it but these didnt fit any pattern either so in the end I just got used to which parts were in which of the 4 boxes. Was worse at the start, back breaking digging through the boxes.
Never actually clocked when I got the thing but it's taken me a couple of weeks but that wasn't every night especially cos the launch of WaR distracted me from doing it. And even then by the time my son was in bed maybe only actually got an hour and half per session. Still value for money in terms of build time. Ranks as the biggest set I've ever built and likely ever will to be honest.

I used to have this beast of a thing: http://www.nd.edu/~lego/grp2/www/graphics/lego/8880.jpg
If memory serves me right, it was about 1200 or even 1300 pieces total. I love it and I'm sad... it's in pieces because I wanted to build something else out of it, then i wanted to rebuild it and found it I just lost too many pieces to ever complete it again. In my opinion, those were still the golden years of Lego, nowadays the bricks are just so... dumbed down :( Bring back the Lego of old!

Bring back the Lego of old!
YES! I used to like Meccano too, did anyone else play with that stuff? do they still do that?
-
Got any size comparison pics of the death star?
Bottle of coke... cereal box... that kind of thing.

now you got this one done: the next challenge: lego death star II: http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=10143 (http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=10143)
seems even harder to build :o
-
wow!!! look at this one!! http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=10179 (http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=10179)

either my eyes are bleeding or they want £350 for a lego Millenium Falcon im afraid no amount of plastic bricks are worth that to me, could probably find a polystone model for that price.

You kinda have to be a Lego fanatic to be even interested in these things to be honest. Which I am but after seeing that it's all just an outside model (no interior as such ) I wasn;t overly interested. Plus where in the heck would I put it. I have no shelves wide enough for something of that magnitude :o
