I have wanted the Lego version of the Death Star for a very long time. I love Legos, Star Wars and audaciously sized things, so it's a perfect fit, but the price has always been quite daunting. $400, regardless of the awesomeness it brings, is a lot of galactic credits. So finally, after paying down some bills, I convinced my gorgeous and brilliant wife to let me buy it.
So I recruited some tiny plastic help and waited impatiently for the 20 pound, 2 foot tall box to arrive....

| That's no moon.... |
 |
| My crew is dwarfed by the size of that thing! |
 |
| Within, I found four large boxes, a small sticker sheet and an inch thick, spiral bound instruction manual. |
|
 |
| Box one is opened and spread wide. |
 |
| Opening the first bag... |
 |
| Step one - The Minifigs. All 25 of them! |
 |
| The assembled crew. |
 |
| Mouse Droid! |
 |
| My helper robot makes a friend. |
 |
| My builder meets the buildee, Luke Skywalker (1of 3) |
 |
| Step Two... The building begins. |
