According to Wookiepedia, Death Star I was 160 km in diammeter. So saying that an average person is 6" tall, I estimate that a Lego figure is 1.75" tall. Thereby making the Lego Death Star diammeter 2.41 miles or 3.88 km. Considering that Death Star II is 900 km in diammeter that would make for a 21.825 km Lego DSII or 13.55 miles in diammeter.

Is there a compendium of these Mini Models given away at Lego stores? My fiancee wants the rose from February and I think I know how to make it but instructions would be greatly appreciated.

Can you elaborate? I took a look at the online instructions but could not figure out how it turns.

I went to the Lego Store to buy the DS and some kid bought it just as I got there!!!! Last one too. I was thinking of using technic pieces. The base of the DS has a square hole. I was thinking of sandwiching technic bricks to surround the hole. then i can attach more technic inside.

Thanks for the review. From best to worst my favorites are Fett, IG88, Bossk/Dengar (a tie), and least 4LOM.

I wasn't sure since it is more vague. Not technically about SW legos. I just need a robust pivot solution.

As my knowledge of pieces are limited, perhaps you guys can help. I am getting the Death Star set. I plan to use my UCS DS to shell the exterior. I would like to make use of the UCS stand but want to be able to rotate the DS. Is there any robust spinning parts that could support the weight of the DS?

Here are pdf files. Someone used LDD to illustrate how to make them. http://www.brickset.com/miscellaneous/CubeDudes/SDCC10/

As the title describes, I saw that the Lego Star Wars Visual Dictionary are now 30% off. If you are a B&N member you get an add'l 10% off.

I'm hoping they milk it longer for more anniversary sets. 2013 will be the 30th anniversary of ROTJ so here's hoping for some cool OT sets. CW season 3 will surely spark interest as well.

Thanks KimT!!!

where can I get instructions for cube dudes bounty hunters?

Probably one of the mini snow speeders.

Wow those look cool. How big are those? are they the same size as the flashlight? Or the headlight?

You have to take budget into consideration. Money is always a crucial and major aspect in toy design. The Set designers may have wanted more detail but that might have required more parts or parts that cost more. So they have to dumb it down to stay profitable. Lego is a business after all.

Sets have been traded away. thank you for looking.

Hey guys, where does one normally find poly bag sets like the mini vehicles other than online?

After catching up with Clone Wars I'm a little excited to see Embo. I really like the 7 Samurai episode. I'm not sure why they have Aura Sjng and I'm wondering if I will be the ship from the episode I'm thinkig about, the ship that was stores in the barn.

can you explain what is different with the hinges and how is the rear supported if the support arches and vertical beams are removed for the spacious interior?

After watching Empire and Return and now my first viewing of Clone Wars; I realized that I have no idea how ATATs are deployed onto the surface. On Hoth and on the forrest moon of Endor, the ATAT just shows up. Whereas in the Clone Wars there is a drop ship to deploy the AT-TE or AT-OT. Or there are large ships that have loading ramps and the tanks walk out. But does something like that exist in the original trilogy?

thanks. Cant wait. I prefer the stand in black. it reminds me of the UCS stands. I would say this is a Midi UCS. Now make a UCS label/display card and it will be awesome.

Hey that looks fantastic!!!! I love the slave 1. Would you mind taking pictures of it in sections from start to finish? so i can make one myself? thanks

thanks that helps alot!!!

Could I see what is under the hood/dish? I would like to make one myself.

any chance we could see stepped build process so we can make one?
