  2. That is awesome. That minifig collection alone rocks. And Darth Vader’s Tie Fighter!? W00t.

  4. Um, Vicky? Are you sure I don’t have a second birthday this year?

  5. Well… now I know one thing to get Miles for Christmas.

  6. My son Daniel wants this. Oh, he doesn’t even know it exists, but he WANTS it.

  7. Damn you Dave! My son happened to see this over my shoulder and now I will never hear the end of it. I just got over the constant reminder of Indy Lego for the PS2 and now he’s harping on this. Thank you…Thank you very much!

  8. Tell him to start saving his pennies. If this thing is under $200 U.S., I’d be amazed. The other Death Star set was $270, and it was just a sphere.

    And hey, what’s IG-88 doing there?

    Comment by David Thiel — June 17, 2008 @ 2:43 pm

  9. That actually, uh…IG-87…who, um…there was a thing, and…you see…

    I got nothing.

    Rumor mill says $300, which I’m betting is close to correct.

  10. Urg. Well, better get selling on eBay, I guess.

    Actually–and I wish that I didn’t know even this much–there are several IG-88s in the so-called Expanded Universe, and apparently there’s a story in which one of them downloads its consciousness into the second Death Star just before it explodes. But I can’t believe that Lego would be referencing that!

  11. Oh, how I would love this set, an old school metal x-wing, a handful of M-80′s and a HD video camera for a day.

  12. Wow–who knew all you boys really wanted and needed in order to be happy was a DOLL HOUSE?

    My birthday precedes yours, Mr. Mancer, so if you want this, BE KIND…. Be very kind. :)

    Comment by Mrs. Mancer — June 18, 2008 @ 8:06 am

  13. Oh snap, Mrs. Mancer, oh snap.

    Comment by Rob Barrett — June 18, 2008 @ 11:00 am

  14. You’ve seen where I live, Mrs. Mancer. “Doll houses” are my raison d’etre.

    Comment by David Thiel — June 18, 2008 @ 11:26 am

  15. I’m no expert or anything, but I believe all you jedi-dorks just got “served” by Mrs. Mancer.

    Comment by Stewart — June 18, 2008 @ 11:41 am

  16. IT’S NOT A DOLL HOUSE IT’S AN ACTION PLAYSET

    *sobs*
