Tech site CNET reported the toy will cost $400 (about P17,408) and be the longest Star Wars set in Lego history. "Lego said Friday that it will begin selling a new Star Wars model seat featuring Darth Vader's own personal ship, the Super Star Destroyer Executor. The set will go on sale on September 1 on Lego's Web site and in its branded retail stores," the CNET report said. CNET said this will be Lego's longest Star Wars model at 50 inches long, taking 3,152 bricks and pieces to put together. The model will weigh eight pounds, the CNET report said. "One feature will be a command bridge underneath a removable section of the top of the model. Inside will fit mini-figures of several Star Wars characters--Vader himself, and a few others," it said. Presently, Lego sells other Star Wars-themed items, including the Death Star ($399.99), and the Imperial Shuttle ($259.99). Lower-priced Star Wars-themed toys include Emperor Palpatine's shuttle ($59.99) and mini figures and magnet sets. — TJD, GMA News
