Lego Star Destroyer
Interestingly, though the new LEGO Star Destroyer doesn’t come close to the fictional length of a Star Destroyer in Star Wars (that’s like four Empire State Buildings) this new toy is almost exactly the same size of the very first Star Destroyer used during the filming of Star Wars in 1976. The shooting-model of the first Star Destroyer was about 48 inches, or 4 feet long, and this new LEGO Star Destroyer is also 43 inches and 3.5 feet long. So, this Star Destroyer is almost exactly as big as the first real Star Destroyer IRL! So, saying this LEGO set is big is kind of an understatement. But now, if you decide to buy it (fork over $699.00!) you can tell your kid that it’s pretty much to scale of what you see in a real Star Wars movie. And yes, the new Star Destroyer comes with a Blockade Runner, too! Maybe it’s time to make some home movies? The new LEGO Imperial Star Destroyer will be available for purchase on September 18 for $699.00. You’ll have to become a LEGO VIP to be the first to snag it.
