LEGO: The Death Star (Set 10188)
By Lando Da Pimp

Hey everybody. Yes we know, we haven't had too many updates this month. It always gets slow before the summer hits. Usually we don't post press releases of new products unless we are reviewing it, but we all agreed that this is possibly going to be the greatest Star Wars LEGO set ever, the Death Star (10188).

I have had hope for a few years that we would see a Death Star playset and now we have it. This set is a massive collection of various scenes from both Episode IV & Episode VI.

Here is the official release:

Recreate the action and adventure of the Star Wars™ movies with the ultimate Death Star™ playset! This detailed battle station features an incredible array of minifigure-scale scenes and accessories from Episodes IV and VI. Its different decks include the Death Star control room, moving turbolaser turrets, hangar bay with TIE Advanced starfighter, tractor beam controls, Emperor’s throne room, detention block, Imperial conference room, droid maintenance facility, and the powerful Death Star superlaser, plus much more! Swing across the chasm with Luke and Leia, face danger in the crushing trash compactor, and duel with Darth Vader for the fate of the galaxy. With over 3,800 pieces, the Death Star measures 16” tall and 16½” wide when completed. Includes 25 Star Wars minifigures and droids!
