Nerds like LEGO’s, and I’m no exception. Normally, I’d leave a LEGO announcement off the news, but this really appeals to me as a Star Wars fan as well.  This new set from LEGO is the Star Wars Ultimate Death Star set, and looks like a cross-section of the massive ship from the series, but it also is huge. When we think of LEGO sets, we think of a few hundred in size, or maybe 1000. This one, however, gets into sizes that’ll set your build time back by many hours. It’s not the tallest, nor the largest in piece count, which is a replica of the Eiffel Tower.  Still, it sits at 9023 pieces, with 38 minifigs (the people), including Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, and Luke Skywalker.  The other big about this, is that this makes for the most expensive official LEGO set yet. You’ll probably need to save up for this one at a whopping $1000.  

LEGO just announced a massive set based on the iconic Death Star from Star Wars. It features over 9,000 pieces.
