    I built this from assembled pieces from Bricklink and it cost around $350 including shipping. Those black quarter cylindar pieces were a good chunk of the cost. Love it on display--it has presence.

    • @ZackMuffinMan
      @ZackMuffinMan 7 місяців тому +10

      I built mine for $220 with (mostly) used bricks and used the trans black quarter cylinders which were a couple cents each (instead of $40 each). I also replaced the chrome antenna with a metallic silver one to save a couple dollars as well. I might pick up a chrome one if I can find a seller that has one with other parts I need.

    This set brings back memories of Halloween for me when I was 8. I got to dress up as Darth Vader, and was super excited about it. I vividly remember ringing the doorbell of one particular house, and a guy in a full Darth Maul costume with the face paint, attached horns, and full robes came to the door. He didn’t say anything, just glared at me, slightly closed the door, opened it back up and gave me two pieces of candy, and then slowly closed the door without ever saying a word. Good thing I had the Vader mask on, as my jaw was hanging wide open the entire time. Really great Halloween memory!

      So excuse me for sticking by what I said 100%. It's actually unique as hell to the theme. If you don't agree with that, cool, that's your opinion. But unless you can name another set like this one, you don't sound too smart attempting to explain why my choice of words is incorrect.

I nearly passed on this set and the Yoda set back then as I wasn't a fan of the sets that were not ship/locations. The darth Maul bust however didn't set well and It was reduced to a mere £25 on the then LegosShop@home. Of course this was to good of a price to pass by, so I do have It in my collection.
