This is something big coming to fans: building block manufacturer Lego has presented the new UCS model of the Imperial Star Destroyer and given a release date - two, to be exact. The new Lego Star Wars Set will be released for Lego VIP members on September 18th, everyone else can get their hands on it from October 1st. The Imperial Star Destroyer from the “adult” Ultimate Collectors Series (UCS) will then be available in all Lego stores and online on the official Lego website.
4.784 components for 700 euros, spread over a meter
From October 1st, the new UCS model from Lego can be built extensively, only VIP members are allowed to use it almost two weeks earlier, on September 18th. Even before the weekend, Lego caused a massive shake of power with the announcement of the release date.
Even without a stand, Darth Vader's flagship is "impressive, most impressive": At a height of 37 centimeters, a width of 26 centimeters and a length of 110 centimeters, the UCS Imperial Star Destroyer makes an impressive impression - at least when fans first see it who successfully assembled 4.784 components. Lego quotes the price as 699.99 euros. A mini model of the Tantive IV is also included - and two blaster pistols!
Details such as mobile cannons, a tiltable radar dish and an impressive drive system complete the look of the model. The object stand with information board turns the "toy" into a "collector's item".

For a moment I thought that sounds like a great birthday present for my husband, who is both a Star Wars and Lego fan! Besides, he's always wanted something like this. But given the price, I'll have to keep looking... I think €700 for a game (yes, even if it's a collector's item) is way too much.
