Looks like it'll be one of the Lego Ultimate Collector's Series (like the Star Destroyer, Corellian Corvette, Falcon, etc.) which means it's expensive:

There's nothing about it up at Lego.com yet. I'm assuming that this very nice Deathticle is a home-grown project.

That being said, does anyone else here have the Star Destroyer? I'm having to ship it back to the States before I build it because there's not enough room in our apartment. Have you seen the box for this thing? It's the size of a suitcase!

I hate how Legos turned into puzzles. Back when I used to play with them, they only had blocks and maybe the occasional wheel.

I see. So- what are we looking at here, fellow Lego Star Wars Collectors, another $300 set? Will it be as expensive as the Star Destroyer? Judging from the model in front of the SD box, you can get a pretty good idea that it's going to be larger than a basketball.

Meh. I'll still buy it.

There was this black castle that me and my friend built. Oh man, it was fucking awesome. Every kid should have a lego set. This is spacial skill development for young males. It's so good for little engineers to build things. If the Lego company ever went under, it would be a huge loss. They should get girls to use these things more. PEACE.

The Toy Fair was this weekend and they probably showed this off at the LEGO booth.

You are a retard. Or you played with crappy Lego sets.

MEGA-blocks from Sears do not count.

1961
The first LEGO wheels were invented and included in sets in 1961. The LEGO System of Play included 50 sets and 15 vehicles. Loose elements were also sold, as they had been since 1955. This was also the first year that LEGO sold products specifically geared towards the pre-school market. These lines were called Therapy I, II and III. Samsonite began to make and sell LEGO products in Canada under a special arrangement with LEGO. This deal would last until 1988

Agreed. Building Legos was such an important part of my childhood. It's so much more involving creatively and with respect to development than watching Pokemon and playing with action figures.

I had (what am I saying, I've still got 'em in a box in the garage) a whole bunch of sets of the Castle and Space themed Legos. I built all kinds of cool castles and spaceships after I was done admiring the intended assembly. I'm still tempted to go out there and get them all and see what I could make now that I'm 15 years older.

In a related story, when I was about 5 years old my parents bought me a castle called Falcon's Fortress. I wasn't feeling good that night. I was putting it together when, with no warning, a sudden deluge of vomit spewed from my mouth and all over the pieces of Falcon's Fortress on the table. It looked like a disgusting messy spilled soup with Lego pieces in it. We washed it in a bucket and hosed it off and it got mixed in with all the rest eventually. :lol

You too, huh? I plan on giving them to my niece when she's older, (she's 3 now, and fueled by preschool NITRO-hyperactivity). That's me getting girls into the whole inventing and spatial reasoning thing few "girls toys" teach and inspire.

I enjoyed playing with Legos (I built my own Battletech-like mechs in multicolored blocks, spaceships and other robots) but I always gave up on them because they were too small and gaudy to fit in with what i really liked: COBRA FIGURES! I built bunkers, forts, bridges, space rocket/missile launch silos (4 foot deep 3 foot wide hole in the ground with a control room built on the side of the hole) and more out of clay, wood, popsicle sticks, mud, foam, particle board and loads more of material just to keep it all to scale and seem as realistic as possible (to a 8-11 year old anyway).
Legos are for people who don't like to get their hands dirty! Like a real boy, I played out in the backyard in the dirt, taking days to build my play sets. Then when I was finished and I played out my little action drama with my figures, I took down my buildings in Godzilla fashion! Or sometimes when the action got big enough (atomic bombs, self destruct sequences, floods) the buildings and surrounding enviroments would all go down during play.

Anywa... anyone notice the mini Star Destroyer it comes with? Pretty awesome too

My g/f gave me the Star Destroyer for Christmas but I haven't had time to build it yet. I can't wait to dive into that. The last set I got was the AT-AT which was cool. I may have to get this one =)

God yeah the pirate Lego was amazing. I got that ship for my birthday, then my brother got the smaller one with the blue sails, and we also had the pirate fortress thingy. So awesome. I want to buy more Lego.

And then you tied Buzz to a rocket and fired him into space.

I'm not making fun of the level of complexity. I just fail to see how following instructions to put together a 3D puzzle equals Lego.

Legos are great. And I am like 30. :)

I use Lego Robo-Lab on Mac OS X (very similar to Mindstorms on Windows except for the software). Very cool to create stuff and watch it do things you programmed it to do.

Some of the kits (non-robotic) are pricey but is it me or does it seems they are actually a bit less than some years ago.


Yes, the kits are quite abit more elaborate. Very few specialty pieces years ago.

Unless you're like 50, stop trying to act cool. I started playing with space lego sets in the late 70's and sets certainly weren't new then.

If your beef is with "new" pieces then that doesn't make sense either, since they've been introducing new pieces on a yearly basis since as long as I remember.

And if you were a bucket-only lego builder then I hope you quickly covered up the images on the outside of the bucket to prevent your imagination from being infected by ideas.
