Very funny, the price per part on that set is amazing !!! 
Only about 3 cents a piece!! Lets hope LEGO prices all their sets this way.

Awesome! New pieces. I can't wait to see how the MOCers use them.

Unfortunately not. That would have been great. Maybe also not have the size and piece-count quite so over the top...

I was actually beileving the story, until is said it comes pre made in the box, I was like. Wahhh?!  But ya, pretty funny. If they took out the death star trip and the lowered the piece count, that would have been kind of beilevable

I agree with Andi, this would have been a really hilarious April's Fool joke
But now, G people have really fun ideas, too bad the timing is not fantastic. Also people do have a lot of free time on their hands

I pretty much figured it was a joke when i had read about it all ready
assembled in the box, plus it having 20,000 bricks. |

A model of a planet that is seen for 10 seconds and then Ka-Boom. It is obviously fake, or TLG has just too much time on their hands.

Yeah, they definitely shouldn't have the time it takes to create a Lego set.

The article is so ridiculous, it's hard to take it seriously unless you're not reading carefully enough.
A LEGO globe would be a neat set idea (Earth, not stupid Alderaan,) but this is so dumb. TLG encouraging people to smash a $600 set? Really?

No kidding, they say a 12 year old idiot is going to drop a $600 lego sphere off a 10 story building? Someone punch that kid in the face.

I'm a bit confused.
I thought LEGO's headquarters and the Death Star were one and the same.

They wouldn't.
It's a joke article. It's not a real set. Sorry to disappoint you.

Mike, stop being mean to the members.
It is a real set, donneyboy, but it's only available for pre-order on Lego's website. Apparently on the 28th, it's on sale for just $200  . So just look out for the deals on this great set then!

Thats a fake, it was confirmed a long time
ago in a galaxy far far away. It would
be quite cool though. |
