Yes, an awesome set, but too rich for my blood. They want $500 cdn for it up here in Canada.

Starting a year or two ago, I began collecting megabloks aircraft carriers, and have been using them to build my own gargantuan death star set. Although maybe not quite as perfectly round or as accurate on the outside as it could be, it hinges open and stacks up and thus creates a dozen or so individual playsets when all taken apart. Inside are many cool features from the movies, many of which ended up in this new LEGO model they are now selling. Guess I had ESP or something…

Anyhow, come see the many pics I have of my death star at: http://mocpages.com/moc.php/30635. Thanks!

I think their idea is great, but they should make a smaller and less expensive version. It would fly (ha,ha) off the shelves! I made a small portable version of it and my son loves it! Parts for this one are easily under $50 and you can run around with it which is something you can’t do with the big one. By the way, the big one probably really is worth the $400. It is bigger than it looks in the pictures. But $400 is just too big of an investment. See my version here: http://mocpages.com/moc.php/72791 .

hey people!! why would you buy this death star and the mini figs when you can buy the lego mtt troop carrier or the lego gunship, like people im trying to make a point the mtt and gunship costs way
less or other sets, and the mini figs in the death star set, you could just buy the lego battle packs!!! like i think that this set maybe smaller than it seems and the tie fighter is one of the mini sets that come from the dollor store.

Yes, I thought it was a little too good to be true based on a “brick for brick” or rather “Stars Wars brick for Star Wars brick” basis when I compared it with other sets in the line.
this was the reply I got from them:

Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding the price increase of the Death Star, set 10188.

This price increase reflects a decision made by the Shop@Home Team and is in line with other retailers.

We appreciate that this is a significant increase and understand the frustration and disappointment that will be felt by all Star Wars fans.

The Death Star is still a fantastic LEGO set which will enable fans to recreate the action and adventure from the Star Wars movies. Along with 24 mini figures and movie replicas of the Superlaser Control Room, Imperial Conference Chamber and the Tie Advance Hanger Bay, this is a truly magnificent set!

I just wondered, who the other retailers are, when its a lego shop at home exclusive? I suppose the Lucasarts franchise rights are notoriously high, I suppose, and pity poor Germany who have to pay £317 for the same set.
