Thanks for the note; I nevertheless added a small knot at the end to ensure that it won't slip through the friction hold. My 4-year old can be a bit rough with strings :)

Interesting, in Canada they're just sitting on the shelves. In fact, all the sets are readily available - sales don't look to be too hot.

Sorry, I think there is some confusion about which step - I'm talking about Page 40, Step 41. The string doesn't seem to be knotted in the instructions for the winch? http://cache.lego.com/bigdownloads/buildinginstructions/4542760.pdf

I feel the same way - the new sets don't have much pizzaz to them. I wonder how the sales of the sets are for the mainstream public? Pretty much all the stores around here (Toronto, Canada) have e plenty of stock - it doesn't look like anything is flying off the shelves.

Hi all, I'm in the middle of building the Lego Death Star and I have a question about the elevator string - in the instructions, the string seems to be held in place by friction only? Do you need to knot the string? If so, what is the best type of knot to use. I know, simple and silly question, but I prefer to get this build right. Thanks.
