Gotta love the plastic Posted June 3, 2014 I was watching a video on the internet and the Death Star took two grown ups 11 hours to build!! Thats a LOT of building!!! The video I saw was on The really cool thing is that they drop it at the end and it explodes! I love the Starwars lego stuff, when the new film comes out I hope we get some really big builds to have to do! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Only Sinner Posted June 3, 2014 Thanks, that was horrifying to watch. I hope the pieces didn't get too scratched! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mutant Orc Posted June 3, 2014 That was a cool explosion at the end! I still can't believe they managed to drop it though! I could never manage to smash a set so brutally!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eurotrash Posted June 3, 2014 I'm conflicted. I mean cool set and it looked like an heavy-duty building session AND it was a great looking Lego explosion at the end, BUT it was a Lego explosion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Executive Posted June 3, 2014 This is blasphemy. I still don't own the death star but why would you take all that time and money building the thing just to destroy it. Yes I get it Lego break in pieces when you drop them I don't need a video to believe it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chills Posted June 3, 2014 Wow! I love the slo-mo section of the video, how the DS starts crumpling, then the top gets shot straight up. Poor Death Star. I have the set and I could never drop it like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thomas of Tortuga Posted June 3, 2014 That slo-mo section at the end was awesome. Amazing to see the physics of the pieces crumpling together and collecting all that potential energy from the arches compressing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrfuture Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) That was cool to look at, but the only thing I was thinking while watching. How many parts get broken in the process. Today I had never done that. But as a kid, some MOCs ended in the wall while playing and resulted in broken parts. I do not have the set. Edited June 3, 2014 by mrfuture Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir_Basil_Ashton Posted June 3, 2014 I personally could never drop any of my sets like that but I did enjoy watching the slow motion part, especially Han Solo spinning through the air. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emilstorm Posted June 3, 2014 This is blasphemy. I still don't own the death star but why would you take all that time and money building the thing just to destroy it. Yes I get it Lego break in pieces when you drop them I don't need a video to believe it. Because then you get to build it once more That just looked awesome! I actually don't think a lot of the bricks will break. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tman684 Posted June 3, 2014 When I got my Death Star when it first came out, it did not have numbered boxes or numbered bags, and I had to dump out all the pieces in the living room, took me hours to find some pieces!!! Anyone whose Death Star came with numbered bags is lucky!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeufelHund Posted June 4, 2014 They just need to add some explosion SFX and it would be perfect... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Csacsa234 Posted June 4, 2014 I dodn't expected it to explode to pieces like that. The video doesn't have much sense, but interesting, I'm curious if how many pieces broke during the this action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Executive Posted June 4, 2014 Because then you get to build it once more That just looked awesome! I actually don't think a lot of the bricks will break. I don't mind putting something back together but I've certainly had my fair share of taking apart older star wars sets. If they dropped the UCS Falcon I would probably cry because it is such a rare and beautiful set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BJM Posted June 4, 2014 When I got my Death Star when it first came out, it did not have numbered boxes or numbered bags, and I had to dump out all the pieces in the living room, took me hours to find some pieces!!! Anyone whose Death Star came with numbered bags is lucky!!!! I very deliberately open up all the numbered bags and move them around a bit before I start - even UCS. That's just how crazy/ cool I am. I have the Death Star and it rocks, but it is very very bad what they did. Not true AFOL at all!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Artanis I Posted June 5, 2014 It was worth someone doing it just to see how those plates wobble on impact! Slow motion destruction always looks interesting to me, I watched this again today. (I could never do this myself of course, and I hope no Lego parts were harmed in the making of this film.) Really cool how the storm trooper helmet is spinning like that.

Im a brickmaster. Posted June 5, 2014 Great! Now I don't whana watch that video! It might be to traumatic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Executive Posted June 5, 2014 If you look carefully at 4:29-4:31 you can see Han Solo spiraling and slowly becoming airborne in the top right corner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joakin Posted June 5, 2014 The things people do to test a camera LOL!! Looks amazing but wouldn't do it to mine (when I get one) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TWP Posted June 5, 2014 Well that is a nice vid. I actually did not expect it to get all that destroyed. I saw some people doing more or less the same in the past, but then they flew a UCS super star destroyer in the death star When I got my Death Star when it first came out, it did not have numbered boxes or numbered bags, and I had to dump out all the pieces in the living room, took me hours to find some pieces!!! Anyone whose Death Star came with numbered bags is lucky!!!! First few versions did not have numbered parts, later they did. I agree though, the search for pieces in the whole set is horryfying Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erdbeereis Posted June 5, 2014 That was actually fascinating to watch. I had no idea that it would completely "blow up" in that matter. I expected larger chunks. While I certainly wouldn't want to do that with one of my own sets, I'm glad that someone did. Wonder if they were able to gather up all of the pieces afterwards...
