That will take a few days to build...

Nice! but I would prefer the Star Destroyer over this with the same amount of money

 

[ElFenix]

wow, bigger than the star destroyer

 

[happybelly]

Here are some better pics if anybody is interested.

Cool, but I'm more of a star destroyer sort of guy

"What's an aluminum falcon?"

 

[jman19]

Yikes, the nerd potential in this thread is high

 

[Raduque]

I have an X-Wing (It's in about 5 or 6 big chunks right now) that's around that size. Too big for a Lego man in the cockpit, too.

lawl @ lego men in the ISD

Edit: Thisis the Star Destroyer I want. The one with the lego men is just a little cheesy even for me

 

[engineereeyore]

Mine eyes have seen the glory or the coming of the falcon.....

 

[Furyline]

When I was a kid I had a 3-D puzzle of the falcon, but I never finished it because all the pieces looked almost exactly the same, it was f'n impossible.

 

[spherrod]

wow

 

[happybelly]

Bump for the night crew.

 

[Stumps]

cool, I have most of the original series of the lego Starwars in my collection and some of the Trilogy editions..including the Millennium Falcon...I really need to get some more imperial stuff, I only have all of the Tie fighter Variants ATM.

 

[ShadowBlade]

maybe I'm just weird, but I would rather have this to build it than to have a cool model of the falcon

 

[ShotgunSteven]

I would love to get the Star Destroyer.

Why are Legos so ridiculously expensive?

Lucas needs his share of the profits

the best part about that destroyer is the scale blockade runner it comes with...but don't get me wrong that thing is freaking sweet! my buddy finally put his together. he hasn't opened the box for the death star just yet though...

Injection molding isn't that cheap. I bet it's a couple of cents per piece to mold, plus all of the overhead, plus profit.

Lol I got the Tantiv IV model for my 8th grade bday. Took me 20 hours of work to complete.

 

[biggestmuff]

Are those made entirely out of bricks? I checked out some large Lego toys a few years ago and they've changed drastically. The center of the large builds is just a big, plastic frame that you attach the bricks onto. There aren't many bricks to the large items.

That isn't the main reason. The real reason is the same as why paint and canvas is cheap, but the Mona Lisa is expensive.

And how about just designing the thing to be complete and challenging, yet still efficient to produce?

Well then it wouldn't be an epic build, so what would be the point? Either way, my point was on a piece-basis, the pricing isn't bad.
