Star Wars Lego Death Star 10188

lego 10188Surely there are a few of us who can’t remember their first introduction to the Star Wars movies. The intensity of the special effects and the continuance of the story as a 3 part trilogy conspired to make Star Wars more than just another movie. It was part of an era.  The popularity of the Star Wars franchise has been continued efficiently in modern time with the prequel movies, Star Wars I, II, and III. In the merchandising department, Lego has also kept Star Wars at the front position of toy and game improvement, in a wide selection of formats, including the  Lego Death Star 10188  replica which was introduced in 2008.

There is more than enough in this Lego set to keep you busy for hours on end as you build this extraordinary project, a mission not to be undertaken lightly, as it contains over three thousand Lego pieces. Even the instruction booklet is extremely large, at over two hundred and fifty pages.  The Death Star Lego 10188  has been intended to be a playable piece; because it is quite strong and can be moved reasonably well once construction is complete. Nevertheless, there will always be a few, small, delicate bits that might fall off.

The Death Star has four levels and it contains a mixture of the scenes featured in two different Star Wars movies. The half constructed Death Star in Star Wars IV- A New Hope and the completed Death Star set from Star Wars VI- Return of the Jedi. The replica features the iconic scenes from the movies such as the Death Star Control room, the Detention block, the Hangar bay and, of course, the Emperor’s Throne room for the smash hit finale. The completed project leaves each internal location easily available, because it is a large sphere that doesn’t have the outer shell. There are special touches to make the Death Star more enjoyable, such as the rotating guns and the turning chairs, which are part of the detailed design.

This  Lego 10188 Model  is designed to be an item of play, and is roughly 16 inches high and wide when it is completed. The set includes 24 figures allowing you to recreate some of the most unforgettable scenes from the movies.

There are a few Star Wars figures that are available for the first time with this version of the Death Star 10188, including new versions of Han Solo and Luke Skywalker in Storm Trooper gear. They are exclusive collector items in their own right. Isn’t that cool? The Dianoga trash creature is also made available for the first time, so now you can play the scene in the trash compactor where Luke Skywalker, Han and Chewbacca help Princess Leia to escape from the detention centre.

The Lego Death Star is not a low-priced toy, but rather one of great fundamental value. It is value for the construction time, role-playing pleasure and a certain nostalgic value that sets it apart from most other toys. Even though it is pricey, this particular model is extremely unique and worth every cent! The 10188 Death Star Lego set is for ages twelve and up.
