75159 Death Star under construction at LEGO Store
It turns out that the LEGO Group have a new AFOL targeted Star Wars set for the Christmas season, 75159 Death Star. An employee at the LEGO Store has been tasked with building this behemoth on the shop floor, so any customers waiting to see the finished build hopefully have plenty of patience, as this image shows the space station a good few hours away from complete. This gives fans a first look at the box art, showing a remarkably similar build to 10188 Death Star, with minor changes and a refreshed roster of minifigures.
Eurobricks user CM4Sci shared these images from the LEGO Store at Arundel Mills, Maryland, USA.
An official announcement on 75159 Death Star, including when it will go on sale, is expected September 1.
Sometimes I do wonder if working in a LEGO retail store could be the best job in the world………..you get paid to build the Death Star – where do I sign up?!
