Lego Imperial Star Destroyer

http://shop.lego.com/product.asp?prod_id=10030

Wow, look what I found. This is the largest Lego's ship they have ever made. For 16 years old and above.

You know I will have to buy this just to say I built it. My brother got me the large AT-ST Star Wars walker Lego set for Christmas. (I know, I am too old for this stuff) and it will be a ton of fun to build. Can't wait to get this one!

at $300. a bit steep.

I wonder how many pieces it has.

Build the most awesome ship in the Star Wars™ universe!
The Imperial Star Destroyer™ is the massively huge, incredibly powerful heart of the Emperor's fleet. Manned by the top crew in the Imperial Navy, the Star Destroyer™ was heavily armored and bristling with turbolasers and tractor beam projectors. One Star Destroyer alone was enough to strike fear into an entire star system!

Now you can add the Imperial Navy's best-known and most powerful ship to your LEGO Star Wars™ collection! Measuring an impressive 37” by 23”, this model dwarfs any LEGO Star Wars™ ship ever produced. This beautifully designed and one-of-a-kind collector's item comes with a special display stand and collectors card. Also includes an exclusive Rebel Blockade Runner™ Mini-Model, so you can recreate the opening scenes of Star Wars IV: A New Hope!

haha I think it would be fun. Do people superglue the pieces together to preserve it? What do modelers do with Leogs?

can you imagine the size of the instruction book?
i remember 30 page booklets to put together a SMALL vehicle

Hehe thats wild...

I guess that won't be going in the tub with me...i'll stick with the rubber ducky :P

But I remember a long time ago someone was telling me that they sprayed something on their legos to help preserve them and help them stay together. I'm not sure about the whole superglue idea...

...although i heard duct tape would work real well:P

If you're an adult putting together a lego set and you will just be displaying, not playing with it, is some kind of glue really necessary to keep it intact. I'd think the Lego SNAP-ON TECHNOLOGY would suffice!

haha LOL Sinistar rules. You are probably right. I would be afraid moving it though from one room to another and having it crumble!
