[@bigsonny45]

I had this! ABSOLUTELY THE BEST CHRISTMAS MORNING EVER!!!! Thanks mom and dad!

[@brianpavlina8638]

Wow! A full Death Star playset. This is a kids dream to have. You did a great job putting all the pieces together Mike.

greatest birthday gift i ever had ...was the Death Star play set on my 7th birthday.

[@rthomas1031]

This is something ive wanted to see since 1978, A complete circle of Death Stars!

[@mrcydonia]

I was so excited to get this for Christmas back in the day.

My daughter plays with my Hoth set from my childhood.

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

It sure is fun watching kids get a kick our of something like that. Thanks

[@neuromancerXL]

Man that thing was great, before my time, hard to imagine they were doing that back in '78!

[@errantknight-f2z]

My absolute favorite Kenner SW toy as a kid! Putting nine of them in a complete circle is a masterpiece idea!

[@knights_of_old]

I bet there had to be someone who did this when they were still in retail and all the kids were jealous. Thanks for showing it!

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

I never had one as a kid and only knew one person who had one so yes it would have blown minds back then for sure! Thanks

[@georgestetson5572]

The Death Star is one of my favorite things in all of Star Wars

[@JimmyHauser]

That's funny. I just bought one of these a couple weeks ago. It is very cool. Totally gives the nostalgic feels. Though only one of them.

[@dannyvestal299]

Ahhh nostalgia! Thanks for the work on this Mike! Man, this made me feel so old man..lol. Good times though!

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

It is hard to believe how long ago this thing was made. Glad you enjoyed! Thanks

[@texasbonn257]

Spectacular!!!

[@flameduelist81]

That was an amazing project and I loved the way it turned out. It was so smart and disciplined to do it piece by piece. Any expansion ideas for the terror drome?

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

I would love to see Unicron and the Death Star side-by-side.

[@victoracevedo7698]

Looks really great and a lot of fun!!!!! I would split it in half on two boards just so I can easily move things around on the inside an give myself different display options....but that's me.... Either way, great video and damn I feel old!!! Haha! Never had this myself but it was a huge desire when I was young!

[@tydiriumhanger1320]

My friend that donated some parts said a similar thing. It would have great display options even if there were only 5 sets and you turn it around to reveal the inside. That may have been a more reasonable goal. Glad you enjoyed! Thanks

[@victoracevedo7698]

@@tydiriumhanger1320 trust, I get why you did it the way you did! I would def hv collected the whole thing as you hv just so I can hv the whole completed Death Star and I LOVE the top that you added! I'm just a kid at heart and would want to play and replay (basically move figures around) with it several times over! So I would just want the ability to split it open so I can do that with both the inside and out! Again though, LOVE IT (WISH I COULD AFFORD IT AND HV SPACE FOR IT) and thanks for the nostalgia! Oh and to add, I've NEVER seen it completed before your video! I hv just seen the one section.....so I LOVE that you did this!!!!

@@tydiriumhanger1320 Also, by doing that , you could put in some side walls, between sets, with doorways going through, from room to room.

I need support beams for my deathstar. Broken ones I can use if anyone has some
