The Lego Starwars 10143 Death Star II is an iconic Lego set that most of us know. I have been on the lookout for this for quite awhile and whenever i saw one i couldn't get it for a right price or i got sold under my nose again.

 

Yesterday i lost another auction on this set so i decided to start Bricklinking it. I wan't to see how much its gonna cost me to collect all the part. At first i'm going to try to keep it to Dutch stores only and i'm already 2.000+ bricks in.

 

The reason i decided to start this topic is that perhaps you guys like to follow the process, i will keep updating this topic till this set is standing at my desk! (I'm going to try at least )

 

Tell me if you guys like the idea, if it is worth updating on haha.

 

 

Currently working on sorting the parts using Brickstore. Collecting Bricklink Carts in seperate files.

All parts arrived except for one order. I am rather dissapointed by this Bricklink store.

They only ship twice per week with a slow (i guess really cheap) mail company.

 

For example, orders placed today will be received Oktober 3rd. And that is if you're in The Netherlands.

Talking about: http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=EyeForBricks

Lazy, cheap and slow shipping, bleg.

 

So yea, if everything arrived i'll post the build here

I can imagine the agony. Have been waiting about a month for the groundplate of a second hand GE.

Awaiting the last 50 parts from Lego (TLG), when that arrives it is finally done!

Everything is here! At last it is time to build the beast!

Fun Fact: The IMGUR url starts with EOL. he. he. he.

Have fun and keep up the pics

Can't wait to see this build! #subscribed

Looking good.

Sorry to hijack your thread a bit, but if anyone else decides to do the same, it may be beneficial to read this blog post for the UCS MF through Bricklink.

Alright!

 

This thing is getting huge, don't think it will fit in front of my pc haha.

If you like it, then you should put a ring on it!

Looking excellent Hendrik. Don't forget to stop at 23.55

It's awesome seeing the Death Star being built. It's tempting me even more to buy a used one or bricklink one.

Know the feeling. This period seems the most heavy for retirements and for wallets

I looked at this image and first thing I thought it was a guillotine for the Empire. Haha.

Update:

This thing is getting huge! The build is slightly repetitive though.

I can only imagine the repetitiveness.

Anyways, if you're tired of it, you can always use it as a fruit bowl

Haha, to many holes!

 

Forgot to add that so far in my opinion this is that hardest set that i have ever build. The fragile buildingstyle and dark instructions make some parts a pain. But maybe it is because this is the first set i build in front of the pc.

Update:

Unfinished plates everywhere!
