Lego Death Star - (Part IV) Complete!

Wow... what a great way to spend a wet Sunday afternoon!

Today we opened the final box (Box 4) of the Death Star and after a couple of hours the Big Lego build was complete. And what a stunner it is!

(To give an idea of size I have put my mug in the photo.)

Tonight we built the final tier and put some finishing touches in place. First came the coolest of Mini TIE fighters. It is Vadars TIE Advance and despite its small appearance it will actually fit a MiniFig in the Cockpit.

On the top deck there are two turbo laser turrets, a laser control room,  a droid medical area and a conference room for Grand Moff Tarkin and his lackeys. Then to finish it all off you create a lift in the centre that will take your MiniFigs to every level. :-)

Now it is finished the size really is quite spectacular.  It is huge! There are 3,803 pieces in it (No I didn't count this - it says so on the box) - even my other big builds such as Millennium Falcon, AT AT or Star Destroyer don't have even half the pieces.  It is approx 16inches in diameter. And if that wasn't enough excitement - there are 24 super MiniFigures.

Seriously folks this really has to be the best Lego set in my collection, if not ever.  Every home should have one!
