    Two weeks ago, I ordered the LEGO Ultimate Collector's Imperial Star Destroyer for the not inconsiderable sum of $330 (shipping to S.A. included @ $110 :tears: ).

    Today it finally came!!!

    Here are the first two pics I've taken:

    As you can see, it is rather massive. I will update with more photos as the building progresses.

    Yep...Definatly not a good title on a gay/lesbian forum.

    I'll continue the joke with:

    Ohhh it's so big! But you sure it's gonna fit right?

    Nice! I had a huge boyhood obsession with lego, and I have to admit, seeing this makes me a little jealous.

    The completed sub-frames.

    I don't own a Lego Darth Vader t-shirt for nothing. I want that set so much right now, it would complete the heart of a hopelessly nerdy oboe-playing slightly peculiar girly like myself ^_^

    Where'd you order it from?
