8 Foot Long, 43,000 Piece LEGO Star Destroyer Will Blow You Away

Erik Vearszegi Iomedes LEGOs venator class star destroyer

We’ve covered some pretty cool LEGO creations in the past, but I’m not sure that any of them can hold a candle to this behemoth, 43,000 piece, 8 foot long, 180 pound, Venator Class Star Destroyer built by I omedes. Now, this isn’t the first LEGO Venator Star Destroyer ever built. In fact, this is a deliberate replica of a model build by Erik Varszegi years ago. The difference is that that original model, while made primarily of LEGOs, was also screwed and glued. This interpretation is held together by nothing but LEGOs. Whether or not Iomedes will be able to move the beast from its current resting place and where it may ultimately end up are anybody’s guess, but whatever the case, that is one amazing, amazing, amazing LEGO construction.

cool…
I just got a $829.99 iPåd2 for only $103.37 and my mom got a $1499.99 HDTV for only $251.92, they are both coming with USPS tomorrow. I would be an idiot to ever pay full retail prices at places like Walmart or Bestbuy. I sold a 37″ HDTV to my boss for $600 that I only paid $78.24 for.
