The thing about this update that I love is that this set was like, my holy grail as a kid. I was poor and it was expensive, but I asked for it every year anyway, and I never got it. Now that it's retired, it's even more expensive, like twice the price. But because they have an update that's yet to be retired, now as an adult I can finally have the set I always wanted as a kid.
Lego: *New set, Stormtrooper Bump, Includes: One Stormtrooper, and a slightly too short door, Price: $1000* Me: *sweats nervously while pulling out my credit card*
There is a little function they didn't mention, that one of the levers on the tractor beam control "deactivates" the pylon by making the little blue energy column fall down inside it. Small thing, but at least you can actually have Obi Wan do the deactivation like in the movie.
That would approximately cost 800=millennium falcon 500=death star 800+500=1300 +extra pieces and minifigures=100 Lego will add another 100 bucks for no reason Amazon will add another 100 bucks for no reason
Took me 20 hours over 4 days to build this, around 5 hours a day. Not easy when you’re missing pieces but I improvised and now it’s a cool piece in my collection
KingBlake IDK. Like I said, I'll probably rack up fome VIP points first. With inflation and $20 more in pieces, it's only really $25 overpriced at most, which VIP points will cover
They should add a mini millennium falcon and some more stormtroopers at the room 11 where the yellow machine is because it must show how did leia, luke, obi-wan, c3po and r2d2 came to the death star
The Death Star appeared during episode 2(as a hologram representing the plans for "the CIS' ultimate weapon), 3( it began being built by the Empire right after Anakin's suiting-up in Vader's costume), 4 and 6 and was only mentioned in episode 5 and 7!
I hope they eventually release a star wars lego complete saga game with all 10 movies ( when the IX is out tho ) So its gonna be 1 insane star wars game. My little cousin is old enough to understand lego games now. Im sure he would love it.
Lego sets need this kind of functionality. Like when lego releases a huge Star destroyers set but includes like 2 or no mini figures and 0 it’s missing in a huge opportunity. Like I wanna see some interior design. A bridge, sleeping quarters, the whole package. And toms of figures.
Placid2 Gaming it is cannon that the emperor had a throne room in the first Death Star. However, this set is meant to depict scenes from both IV and VI
I somehow have the feeling the "torture room" is supposed to be the room where Darth Vader got his armor (don't think that was on the actual Death Star though). This would also fit with that workbench, plus the table movement mechanic.
To be honest, I guess you're both right. Just think about it. After the events in RotS they had no time to waste. They couldn't build something just for this. So it's (IMO) very likely they indeed used such an android(?) maintenance room for this. So it is a room like that, just not the very same one.
Sure, why not?... I imagine I have an extra $500 dollars laying around somewhere to buy this set... If I look in the couch cushions... under the bed... underneath the floorboards... in the kitchen sink... sell off an arm and a leg... mortgage my house... sell myself into slavery... open up a few not-quite-legal "businesses"... and I MIGHT be able to make a .005 percent down payment on one... I figure in about 27,000 years I'll be able to finally pay it off...... maybe..... I'll just get right on that.......
DarthAzrel My mom gets almost 2,000$ on every paycheck she recieves. Get rekt! I can just get about 800 bucks from her and boom! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
You can get $800 from your mom by asking... Talk about being spoiled. Wait to you get to the real world where stuff isn't as easy. Also your mom only gets 2,000 a pay check? You can't live on 2,000 and get to buy/do whatever you wan't. Unless you get your money from your dad.
They shud have included the black back net pack thing for chewy, with like an extra 3po head n arms or something to put in it, they did great job covering all the important scenes, but making that in minifig form would have really been a cherry on top of
I got the 2008 Death Star for Christmas a couple years ago but I wanted the old one because that’s the one I looked at in my LEGO Star Wars books for 7 years. 😂
+Ahnissi there wasn't any in ESB. They were constructing the Second Death Star at that time, and wasn't operational or shown until Return of the Jedi, which takes place two years later.
contemplating on whether to buy this or not. I have all these characters and also have made miniature mocs of some of these scenes. (throne room, and planning room) But all the rooms open and in levels together like that looks really enticing to have.
I feel like a new one should release soon. There was an 8 year gap between the first two, but probably not this year in 2024, but I see one within the next two years hopefully with some updates!
I still would love if it had an outer shell covering all the rooms to make it actually look like the deathstar, then it would be more fitting for the price
The 2 glaring differences to me is the tie fighter the guns on the side of the cockpit and the lower turret in the original the turret was a large technic cannon fun fact if you move the tie advanceds wings you kinda get a normal tie fighter if you don't look at the back
You get 2 official ones in the set but you can easily make it 4 by using your Han and Luke Disguises If they make another Death Star Make 4 or even 6 official Stormtroopers you cant really cant have too many stormtroopers in a set like this
I don't think LEGO took the time to fix some of the key issues of the original Death Star set, such as the inaccessibility and emptiness of the very bottom section. It is a nice thing to see so many new and exclusive minifigures after the simple 2008 ones but unless I'd missed out on buying the original, I won't buy this set. I'm gonna have the Ghostbusters HQ instead, it looks a lot more worth the money, in my opinion. Awesome review, BrickVault, have a nice day/night! Bye!
Looks almost the same the older one. My favorite new thing with the newone is bether minifigs but I wish Lego could have make more changes and dont have 100 dollar or so much more for just 200 more pieces than the old one.
The thing about this update that I love is that this set was like, my holy grail as a kid. I was poor and it was expensive, but I asked for it every year anyway, and I never got it.

Meanwhile I was never able to get either so I’m piecing it together from a combination of my own collection and Bricklink lol
I can not build a Lego set without playing with the minifigs half way through

Dragon gamer l L good point! Its $500!
That's acctually a good 1

Dragon gamer l L What would you expect? It's probably one of the biggest Star Wars Lego sets, maybe even one of the biggest sets Lego has ever made!!!

xD grievous you never got to see it cause you caught on fire🤣🤣 just a joke
😂
I think he grievous died already
RIP general grievous😭
You want my lightsaber bro?
@@child3219 I'll take it
If Lego decides to make another death star set thy should include a feature where a storm trooper bumps his head
Or,a whole set
They would need to make a entire theme
Lego: *New set, Stormtrooper Bump, Includes: One Stormtrooper, and a slightly too short door, Price: $1000*
Me: *sweats nervously while pulling out my credit card*
Make the opening door and make a stormtrooper a tiny bit taller so he hits his head
Make a door that only opens so far, like a stud too far, so the trooper bumps his head
Yay! Finally a cheap way to get the new Darth Vader. ;)
- Kanjiklub39 - yes, SUCH a CHEAP way to get him (jk)
An even cheaper way is the death star final duel
Or darth vader transformation set
@@riadtrakic6588 it was a joke
tournament scorpion He meant that the death star is cheaper to get than the transformations set, he was adding to the joke.
I love this giant set.
I have been saving money for this set for a long time.
I love the detailing in every room and the figures are so great.
I just relized that these guys jobs are basically building LEGO’s for a living
Where can I sign up
"Ha! I'll never get this set!"
*watches review*
"Now, where can I find $500?"
Daniel Williams go on family feud

Pfft where are u buying from? America pfffff typical. Us Australians have to pay $660!
U can get it for 180 on aliexpress

The first room is not a torture room... it's the droid workshop...
you can say that again.

I will get this for Christmas

I know
don't drop it lol
Love it if u could put plating to hide the rooms
DisThingSux YT and you could just turn it and it shows the inside
DisThingSux YT I’m pretty sure this would raise the prices by about £90-£100

Imagine a HUGE Death Star set that could fit the Millennium Falcon in the hanger
My dream maybe a fan can make a custom made one
That would approximately cost 800=millennium falcon
500=death star
800+500=1300
+extra pieces and minifigures=100
Lego will add another 100 bucks for no reason
Amazon will add another 100 bucks for no reason
A minifigure scale Death Star would roughly be about the size of New York City.
That would literally have to be like 15 feet tall
and this all by itself, is my entire Christmas list.
LXavierW Brick Studios yeah, this, and a computer that my bro won't ruin again
LXavierW Brick Studios um if I were you I Wouldnt waste 500$ on a Lego set that's way toooo much just buy an Xbox/computer or atleast something of use
DanTheTurtle xbox is "usless" too. It's a underpowered PC that's more expensive.
also, this is their list, not yours.
Yesssssss it is ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Took me 20 hours over 4 days to build this, around 5 hours a day. Not easy when you’re missing pieces but I improvised and now it’s a cool piece in my collection
Whenever someone buys this set the creator of Lego gets a steak dinner
john doe I don’t think steak dinners cost $500 but ok...
Tom McGregor he never said the max was 500... but ok
He gets a very small cut from it dumbass
the creator of lego is dead though.
Bruh this comment is like 8 months old.
As someone who never got the original, I'm definitely going to get this eventually, probably once I rack up some more VIP points
Not worth it

Jamesgmcbain yeah
Jamesgmcbain
That would be cool
Jamesgmcbain what's the death star a battle station not a ship
*_school shooter_* Hell Yea, that’s what I’ve been thinking ever since I’ve seen the set.
I Think This set is Epic it comes with 25 minifigs!!
A man has fallen into the lego death star trench. Assemble the lego rescue tie. HEY!
Lego should be smart and use the wyldstyle hood piece around her neck for jedis
@@Xx_FadedTurd_xX However it would work for thwm
They should make fabric hoods that can be worn over hair and taken off

Dear BrickVault, can you please make a custom moc
YES
OMG YES
Love the new Death Star update!!!!!!!!😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
The best Lego set I ever saw
That first room is actually just a Droid repair room. :P
This set was my ultimate aspiration in life when I was 10!
I want the set but it's to much money
Yeah same
Says Grand Admiral Thrawn, who literally has the deepest pockets at one point in the Star Wars Universe
I want this set, but no one will get it for me... oh wait...
+Darth Vader just ask the emperor
He wants to use the set to bait the rebels… waste of a good set… 😞
I miss the old school lego star wars sets :( it breins me back the good times :)
I hope next UCS will be Cloud City.
It was

Oh wow this aged beautifully
This will make a fine addition to my collection
Torture room? Ehh no, that's droid maintenance (ANH). Torture room's pretty dark xD and the droid repair tools became torture equipment? O.o
But if I do get this, I might use it as a torture room xD thanks for the idea!
Darth Vader But you already have a real Death Star why do you need a LEGO one?

The music (Eithan Meixal) is so wonderful as you all build this
Lego Han Solo be lookin’ like his prequel version of himself (solo: a Star Wars story) two years before the movie came out
