I’m not an individual who cares about displaying LEGO units after they’re constructed. I get all my enjoyment within the constructing course of and taking within the last end result for a short while, earlier than breaking them aside and doing it over again. That’s the place I believe my scheme to get my sister to offer her son, my nephew, the brand new Dying Star LEGO set for Christmas. I’d love to assist him construct it, and he can admire it on his shelf after that.
Yeah, It’s Costly, However That’s Hardly A Shock
It’ll come as no shock {that a} big Star Wars LEGO set comes with a large price ticket. For this new Dying Star set, the worth is $999.99. Yeah, it took my breath away, too. Nonetheless, it’s fairly a tremendous set, and my nephew is simply at that age the place he nonetheless likes to play with LEGO, however is accountable sufficient to care for a set this costly. He’s additionally an enormous Star Wars fan.
I might say my sister and her husband are elevating their youngsters proper. They love LEGO and Star Wars, although most of their LEGO efforts have gone in direction of the Harry Potter franchise over the past couple of Christmases. They’ve spent at the least this a lot on Harry Potter units, together with the enormous Hogwarts set. I say now could be the time to improve to a franchise I like higher, Star Wars. In actual fact, I’ve already bought my present for him, which is the extra reasonably priced Imperial Star Destroyer, on Prime Day.
Value Is Relative When It Comes To Actually Cool LEGO Units
Whereas most of us would blush on the worth of this Dying Star set, it actually isn’t out of line for what LEGO units from main franchises price today. The Dying Star comes with all types of nice stuff that, if it doesn’t completely justify the worth (what actually does?), does make it comprehensible. For starters, it’s 9,023 items. That’s practically 3,000 extra items than the large Hogwarts set, for instance.
Then there are the minifigs. It comes with a whopping 38 minifigs! Darth Vader, R2D2, a number of Luke Skywalkers and Han Solos (together with each dressed as Stormtroopers), Princess Leia, Chewbacca, Imperial Guards, and numerous different characters who seem in Dying Star scenes throughout the franchise, and a few who don’t. My favourite must be the Stormtrooper lifeguard in purple swim trunks. 38 minifigs! (I had so as to add {that a} second time for emphasis).
For Any Star Wars Fan, This Is Spectacular
My sister’s youngsters had been launched to the Star Wars franchise with The Mandalorian (which you’ll be able to watch with a Disney+ subscription), and so they beloved it from the bounce. They’ve watched nearly the whole lot within the franchise, together with all 11 live-action motion pictures and each animated present, plus a lot of the live-action reveals.
In fact, I’ve watched all of them, too, and I nonetheless love the franchise that has been round mainly my entire life, having seen Return of the Jedi a number of occasions when it was first launched in theaters in 1983. I actually need to construct this Dying Star. It’s as much as my sister to make this a really particular Christmas for my nephew.
