Lego Death Star 2 Is For The True Lego Fan!
Lego fans and collectors are keen to get this new Lego which is one of the LEGO Ultimate Collectors Series (UCS). Star Wars Death Star 2 is a giant at 16 inches x 16.5 inches and with more than 3,800 pieces. Some say it is the best Lego ever.
It will take a lot of patience and some skill to put it together.Those who have done it reckon it takes around 10 hours in total to get Lego Death Star completed. Once completed the Death Star can be displayed with pride!
The Star wars Death Star 2 is part of the Ultimate Collector Series and so it is not your every day toy. The UTS are a lot more expensive than ordinary Lego Star Wars sets. They are a challenge to put together but a real Lego fan will find this to be very enjoyable. It is expensive but maybe you can send your Fairy Godmother to this page and I will try to convince her that you would be the perfect recipient of the Lego Death Star 2!
Fans say this is the best Lego ever!
I found some user feedback for the Death Star 2 mode and it seems that it lives up to expectations.
There are several really enthusiastic positive comments on both the Lego Death Star web site and Amazon.com.
The recommendation is for 16 years but some feedback from users says that much younger children can do this if they are good at this kind of challenge.Here is one proud parent's feedback:
"I bought my 7 year old son the Death Star for Christmas. I was a little worried because I had read some of the reviews, but figured since he had built all of the other star wars lego's ships we would give it a try. I am so glad we did. It took him 2 1/2 weeks, but he finally finished it. It is something he accomplished all by himself and we couldn't be prouder!!!! It took alot of patience and was not easy. But if a 7 year old can do it so can you!!!!!"

Lego Death Star & The Ultimate Collectors Series
Display
Lego Death Star 2 is part of a small number of special Lego sets called "The Ultimate Collectors Series" (UCS)These models are considerably larger and more detailed and are meant for display purposes, and as such, cost more than regular Lego sets. Included in each one is a collector's card and, in many cases, a display stand.
You can see from this picture how large the Death Star is when it is completed. The thing is huge and completely dwarfs the mini figures.
Death Star measures 16" (41cm) tall and 16½" (42cm) wide
TIE Advanced measures 3½" (9cm) wide with
3,803 Lego pieces.
Where To Buy Lego Death Star 2
Best Online Price Amazon.com
OK this is a pricey Lego model but you already know that- its a Collectors item so it isn't going to be bought for peanuts. But this model will increase in value over the years.
You can enjoy the challenge of making this model, then you can display it for all your friends to see how clever you are and, who knows, in a few years time it could be worth double what you pay for it today.
That is so long as you keep the box and everything and do not lose any little pieces!
