At the opening ceremony at Brickworld on Friday July 20th, the 10188 Death Star playset was officially announced and revealed by representatives of the LEGO group. The price will be $399.99 and there are 24 minifigs. I captured a video of the model, enjoy.
great vid. the new set looks awesome but at 400 dollars, seems a bit expensiv.
Ya I know I would buy if it were $250, but man, I think it is worth $400. Great video. Maybye I’ll purswade one of my parents…
That kid is going to buy so many of this set, you guys won’t even get the chance.
Like the kid that was talking all over the video the whole time “I am so getting 3 of these”
Awesome set. I wish that kid had a mute button.
Great video, thanks.
That kid was annoying though, couldn’t someone have turned the Superlaser on him?
Talking of which…does it light up?
Dr. S.
a single word covers this: WANT
God I hate small children. Especially those who make noises.
Amazing. We’ve never had ANYTHING like this kind of a playset from LEGO. It’s a fully-functional PLAYSET, and holy crap does it look fun to play with.
Cue Lando’s “That thing’s operational!” clip.
“Why does the superlaser elevate? it didn’t in the movie”
“Yes it does!”
That kid was not only annoying, but woefully mistaken. =D
Elevating Super Lasers. What will they think of next?
Really Sweet set.
Shoot that kid, please.
All that effort by the Lego designers going into so many play functions, and the vast majority of these will never be played with, but stuck on some Star Wars freak’s display shelf somewhere, looked at but never touched. What a waste.
I come here to kindly ask you to punch that kid out the next time you see him, and I see my work has been done for me =D
Awesome set. Not worth the $400 price tag, but LEGO knows they have me anyway. Bastards.
…Well, I reserved the right to change my mind, and now I have. This is quite excellent.
I liked the parts of the video when the kid was quiet.
…Oh, and the set was cool, too. :D
good set but i have to say i needed death star gunners.
p.s. that kid was annoying ):(
This set looks fantastic.
Can anyone confirm the kid’s name is Ethan, at about 1:32?
Because if so, I won’t be able to get this set… I’ll pay for a name change instead.
-Ethan
WOW that set is awesome! WOW that kid is too much. But I’m sure my family thinks the same of me when I talk about Legos!

60 HUNDRED OF THEM!!!!!
I’m not a huge LSW fan but this was still cool.
I found the “Garbage Monster Fig” interesting…
IF YOU GIVE ME $400.00 I WILL PUNCH THE KID THAT DID NOT STOP TALKING.
I’ve uploaded a Brickshelf gallery with most of my pictures (could have sworn I had one with the minifigs closer, but of well):

It does look like a wonderfully playable set, and I pre-ordered one that evening actually for my son (yeah… yeah, that’s it, it was for my son, uh-huh…).
Building it was rather interesting from what I hear as well (I didn’t get the pleasure).

When I clicked “Comment” I thought I would be the only one who noticed that kid……..But the Death Star is freaking wicked.
What’s with annoyong kids, anyway? And the trash monster has a body??
oh my god shut that kid up. but he is so right i am buying 5 of these. i just got the magazine with it and i am so ordering now. but i think it should be 250 or 300 instead of 400 for a set half the size of the death star II. But still THIS SET KIKS ALL OTHER LEGO ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
