Pilotasso Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) Hey gents. After years of looking at toy stores I finally gave in to the child in me and returned to this old hobby of mine, check the photo below. :) I got a small bonus at work and I took the plunge today. This box alone has more pieces than my old sets (and my brothers) combined. LEGO's used to be out of reach for the common of mortals back then. Suprisingly the prices are no different today even with all these years of accumulated inflation. this one has over 3100 pieces. Later on I might purchase seperate parts to rebuild the discontinued Millenium falcon set #10179 with over 5000 pieces. That one was AWSOME and I must have it somehow. I will post more pictures as I build it, but its going to take several days. Edited January 26, 2013 by Pilotasso .
Erforce Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 This is insane. The Deathstar has 4500+ pieces too, and thought it was about 500$ :huh: Good luck ! Lord Vader !

Pilotasso Posted January 26, 2013 Author Posted January 26, 2013 there were 2 death stars, the current one has a similar ammount of pices and costs the same but doesnt look as good as an exposition model. Thx!! :) .

cichlidfan Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) I've been wanting to get a part time job at the nearby Lego store for years. Lack of space is the only reason I don't have a few of those. Have lots of fun and take lots of pics.

Pilotasso Posted January 26, 2013 Author Posted January 26, 2013 Fisrt section is half done! this part is already very long, I had to be very carefull and the triangle plates have a tendency to come off (few studs to mate on). .
Pilotasso Posted January 26, 2013 Author Posted January 26, 2013 BTW I found out why LEGO chose parts of differemt colors to make the internals. it would be IMPOSSIBLE to folow the instructions otherwise. You would never tell where each part fits where. the contrast in the midle of this massive set really helps and some reviwers mentioned they didnt know why there would be color parts on a grey model... :D .
GorT Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 :D Haha great stuff! When your finished you can now tell people you have command of your very own Star destroyer. Don't ask me for advice on these Two Subjects: 1.. How to Take Off in the Dora! 2.. How to Land the Dora! UNLESS YOU WANT TO DIE!

Pilotasso Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) First section COMPLETE! not bad for 2 hours of work I though it would take longer. the struts on the underside are present but as you know they will be left somewhat undone when finished, LEGO didnt think there should be too much detail where it doesnt need to to save price, but it would be nice to have an extra tall stand for this effect. maybe in a re-edition who knows. need take a rest, tomorrow theres more. :) ooow my baaaaaaaaaack!!! :cry: Edited January 27, 2013 by Pilotasso .

Druid_ Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 I can't wait until you think you have finished and have 3 pieces left over. We're then going to petition you to start all over again and get it right!
