Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda gam Nation. Let's talk Lego. My sons have
been obsessed with Lego for many years and still buy
small kits of Lego. They still love Lego, they do.
There's a new one that's the most expensive Lego ever
that's been released in October. It's a new Death Star Brendan.
But it's different to the other ones in that it's

(00:23):
a cross section. Right. The last one was one big
round ball that was just gray on gray on gray
Death Star. Well, I guess, so, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Will you tell that to the Empire?

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Was pretty interesting to make a blob of planet. This one,
it's fifteen hundred Australian dollars, but it's a cross section.
But what I like about it is it's filled with
little dollies. This is the stuff that I like about Lego.
Lego figurine, figurines, little dollies. One of the Stormtroopers is
even in a hot tub, right, and they've got little
bits and pieces with its swing and trap doors. Have

(00:57):
her listen to this, TikToker describe it.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Legal came sent me over their new Death Star that's
coming out in October, and even though it's absolutely massive
with over nine thousand pieces and thirty eight minifigures to
fill out each section, there's still major doubt that it's
worth the hefty price had. Admittedly, most of the figs
are pretty mid but there's a couple of standouts, including
director Krenick and Galen Urso from Rogue One. These deep
cut Imperial batties in the most hype hot tub Stormtrooper

(01:21):
that gets to chill in his own private spot hidden
at the top of the space station. There are tons
of interactive details like this hidden all around the model,
which makes Lego's risky design choice a little more understandable
and accessible, since you're able to easily slide different sections
out to get a better view, or change designs to
help re enact storylines like blowing up a planet. Dropping
figures down the chute will spit them right out into

(01:42):
the trash compactor lapsing Luke's platform while he fights Darth Vader.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
I'm sorry, so, what did cheek talk is?

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Signare? Do they edit their words on top of each other?

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Net I barely understood the word he was saying. Is
I don't know? I reenact the storm Strawberry short.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Maybe you can go an Husky's.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Wife, So lots of bits and pieces to get to
play with. But the thing that's good about it is
it's a cross section. So you see, as I said,
the dollies, you see the living quarters, there's sort of
humanity in it rather just a big round gray ball.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Jack is not getting one because he didn't complete the last.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
This is the thing Jack is now twenty two when
he was eight as a very special birthday gift, and.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
I told you not to buy it.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
I said, no, buddy, he's not going to be able
to build that crazy He tried very hard. Oh he did,
he did. He loves the lego, and you broke his
spirit because every time you see him you still mention
that he didn't finish. I went around to your place
to get him over the line to build the death Star.
I remember this is how it went. Went Fellas, some refreshments.

(02:54):
Oh thanks, missus Keller.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
How are you going with the death Star? She's up, Fellas.
I'll leave the cake here.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Okay, if you need anything, just give me a hoy.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
