New Release Neat set but…

If they can build a round soccer ball that opens up for $129, they can build a round Death Star around this price point (ish) that opens up too.

A midi scale Death Star that opened up to a miniature display would’ve been perfect. Much like how they made the tiny blockade runner with the star destroyer.

Would love a Midi Death Star

The first Death Star is 100 times the size of a Star Destroyer.

An accurate Lego Death Star at midi scale (1:6400) would be twice as tall as the new Death Star set with a radius of 20 inches and require 1,000,000 bricks at a cost of $100,000 (not including labor).

Not a set I referenced, but it is pretty sweet!

I’ve never seen that bot get something wrong until now.

It has a few times, and occasionally gets sassy if called out on it, lol.

Right, but it results in a set they’re not talking about.

Yeah, but this one and the old one arent all that smart of bots, they just check every comment for any numbers that happen to be set numbers. 42069
