[Beau]

It's cool, but I wouldn't buy it.

 

[dolph]

o...m...g...

 

[BigJohnKC]

That's very cool. But it's not $270 cool.

 

[SyahM]

Too expensive!!

 

[Supermercado]

:Q Wow.... /me drools

 

[dsd17]

I have the Tie-Fighter but I got it for $60 instead of the $120 normal price. This one should go down pretty shortly....probably not enough though.

 

[vetteguy]

$270? I don't care. It's got 3,000 pieces!!! I got the Blockade Runner for $140. I know this is a shload of money, but come on, this is the single coolest LEGO set ever. For years I have dreamed of having a LEGO Star Destroyer, and finally one will be mine!!!

I don't understand how Legos can be that expensive. They're colored plastic blocks fer cryin' out loud...

Why are they so expensive? Is it the R&D or what?

Probably... We all know it only costs a few cents to make one of those little blocks.. lol

270 / 3000 = 9 cents/block..

Plus there's all the packaging, marketing, shipping to stores and profit.

 

[GoodRevrnd]

Totally not worth it unless it can launch it's own squad of little tie fighters.

 

[alkemyst]

It's about 8 cents a piece and that's not too bad considering you have lucas being paid, the box, R&D on the set, and everything else. It will be discounted soon enough also. It's a meter long, pretty hard to get anything that big now for less that a couple hundred bucks.

If you average a piece every 5 seconds you should be able to have fun for 2.5 hours or so

Even at best I could never put a big set together that fast when I was little. I'd dump all the pieces out onto a card table and have at it. I had a castle that took me probably 1.5hrs at first, then once I took it apart and mixed it in with my other pieces, that time doubled

As cool as it is, one has to ask themselves at my age, are the ladies really going to be impressed when you bring them back to your place and there's a lego star destroyer sitting on the shelf? It's ironic, because I could actually afford it now, but there's no way I'd buy it cause I have no place to hide it

Whenever the ladies come over, just stick it down your pants and tell them you have a 3 foot long "destroyer" down there...

 

[ohtwell]

Sweeeeeet!

I wish I could afford it. I'd buy it for my hubby right now.

I bought my hubby the tie fighter for Christmas last year. He hasn't put it together yet. I know that he really enjoyed it though.

LOL!!

 

[Tallgeese]

Oh man....
Now I just gotta figure out a way to make it a "present" for my 2.5 year old daughter, so my wife doesn't disassemble me into 3,000 separate pieces!

the vessel includes a mini-model of the Tantive IV, Princess Leia's Rebel blockade runner

Hmmm...Princess Leia is actually a Disney princess?

It's SO stupid, IT JUST MIGHT WORK!

You could lose your virginity for $270!
:Q

 

[Aves]

I WILL own this.

 

[Stallion]

$270 is nothing for something of this size. My problem will be finding time to put it together and then keeping my 3 year old away from it. I just bought the Tantive IV on ebay for $150 and it is a awesome ship. I'm almost done with it, 2 months later..

We got a 8% bonus when we accepted our contract last week. I would much rather have a GF4 ti4400, but now it looks like I'll need to buy both.

Edit: I can't find it on the Lego site.. Anyone know where to look for it?
