Lego Star Wars Death Star (10188)

There are two Lego Star Wars kits, 10188 and 10143. And 10143 comes with a whopping price tag of over AU $1,000 (new in box), and a massive 3449 pieces. But for our money the 10143 Death Star kit (pictured) is not only a lot easier on the wallet (around AU $400 to $500 - NIB) but is a much funner set. Of course that is if you are game enough to actually take it out of the box and play with it, which not many people would be as it is a massive collector's piece that (unopened) will only go up in value.

The model itself is huge, over 1000 pieces, with numerous rooms that depict classic scenes from the films, and which have many moving parts, and a bucketload of figurines some with it, including ANH Luke, ROTJ Luke, Stormtrooper Luke, Han Solo, Stormtrooper Solo, C-3P0, R2-D2, R2-Q5, Princess Leia, Obi-Wan, Chewbacca, Tarkin, Darth Vader, the Emperor, Royal Guards, Stormtroopers and more. We could go on and on about this lego set, but you should go to Amazon via the link below and read the full specs and all the reviews by many satisfied customers who have fallen in love with it, even with the high price tag they agree the set is worth it for what you get. In fact, everyone agrees - this is a five-star, once in a lifetime Star Wars lego set that will be the king (or queen) of any Star Wars lego collection.

We hope to get up close and personal with this set in the coming weeks, so stay tuned for a full review soon. But in the meantime start collecting those pennies.
