Wow! My son loves to build SW LEGO and his jaw just dropped when I showed this to him.

I hope they will be displaying this at C3. When I attended the 1st "C", they had 2 LEGO employees there building a huge Naboo fighter for the 3 days of the event. We visited every day to watch the progress.

[Obi-Wan]

Yeah, this is an amzing piece of work. And it's huge! It'll probably put a large hole in my wallet when I get to buy it though....

[Greedo Boy]

Look at the size of that thing!

Do you really think they will be selling it in that size? It seems much larger than typical sets.

[Suzanne (ex CoS Leia)]

Have you seen the size of the star destroyer set? It's a comparable size, so it wouldn't surprise me too much if they did go for something that big.

We won't be getting it though. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif

I'm having enough trouble finding space for what we've got.

[Darth Crimson]

wow that so great i wonder how many pieces it take to make this style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bow.gif

[Obi-Wan]

It will actually be the largest Lego set ever with 3441 pieces. It measures 65 by 50 cm and comes with a miniature Star Destroyer. Still no price point though.

[Anguirus111]

Holy bejeezus!

I knew we were going to need to extend the house when we got the AT-AT... but this is extraordinary!

[empire21]

When this comes out I will not sleep, nor see the light of day until I have it put together.

[Horse_Head]

Pieces: 3441
Price: USD 299.00
Coming Soon on 30 Sep 2005

[Anguirus111]

I wonder if they'll consider an add on set where you can construct the original DS?

I'm sure some die hard Lego SW fans will add to this set to make the DS I.

[empire21]

those are great pics horse_head.

[Sam Kenobi]

Is that supposed to be a SSD of to the side? It's so cute!

[empire21]

^I didn't even notice that.

[empire21]

excellent find, thanks.

[Sam Kenobi]

I want these really bad now. And that Super Star Destroyer is adorable. Can't wait to see the really really big one!

[empire21]

I got a feeling my attempt to construct the death star will fail.

[Sam Kenobi]

And that Mace figure is the first time I've ever seen a black LEGO. It's about time!

... but you're right - there don't seem to be enough. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

[empire21]

more lego goodness, just hope I cant put them all together

[Sam Kenobi]

Directly porportional with the amount of them in Star Wars. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

[MXCABRINI]

W00t! thats freaking awesome stuff!

too bad im poor style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif

[empire21]

^at least you will spare yourself the stress of not having to put it together.

[Jediwan]

Wow wish I had it when I was young.

[Tarkin the Ewok]

That Death Star looks awesome. Since it comes out in September, I may just be able to afford it by then if I save some money.

Since there are no other LEGO threads on this forum, I thought I would ask this here: are any of the prices known for the Episode III sets? In particular, I'm interested in the clone turbo tank and the ARC starfighter.

Did you see Suzanne's link in post #20 of this thread? I know the ARC fighter is listed. I think it contains info and prices for all the known EP3 sets at this time.

[Tarkin the Ewok]

Thanks for pointing that out, yodafn. For some reason, I thought the link would just take me to the same info as the official site had posted.

It figures that my desired sets would be some of the most expensive. Of course, the sets I find cool tend to have higher piece counts, so there is a definite correlation there.

So it goes by the name turbo tank and not Juggernaut these days? Oh well... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/giveup.gif

[Emperor Palpatine]

That looks really cool, but I guarantee I won't have enough money to buy it when LEGO releases it.

[empire21]

^Same here, it will probably be a couple hundred dollars style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif

[Emperor Palpatine]

LEGO sets are way overpriced, maybe that's why they're not as popular as they used to be.

[Sam Kenobi]

Agreed

[ARC Capitan]

Don't yell at me, but I think everyone who's a die hard Lego Fan will buy anything no matter price, or size. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bye.gif

[Sam Kenobi]

Welcome! But why would we yell at you?

[Cassus Fett]

i might go buy it lol

[ARC Capitan]

I think I might buy it. Chances are slim, but there is a possibility. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/stop.gif

[empire21]

If it's over 200 bucks then no way.

[ARC Capitan]

Well duh. If it's like 500 bucks, no one will buy it. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rofl.gif

Oh definitely, the Death Star is like $300 CDN!

[Cassus Fett]

well its going to take a while to build and your bound to loose a couple of bricks that you need in that time.

It always happens, I lost about 4 pieces to my AT-AT style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif

[DarthAnakin]

Yeah i'm too poor to spend $300 on it. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif

[Bretsch]

I wonder if the're ever going to bring it to Mexico, and what would be the price.

[empire21]

^if they do it will be expensive like everywhere else style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/devil.gif

[Sam Kenobi]

I loved my Lego's. It's too bad that my sisters got a hold of 'em. I had so many. Now they're all chewed up, and broken, and missing. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif

[empire21]

^Too Bad

[Sam Kenobi]

Yeah,
