Hahahaha, do you think $1000 Legos are made for kids?

They’re made for people who enjoy lego, kids or adults. Duh.

Sure, but I suspect most of the people who can afford and choose to purchase it are adults. For themselves. I think they are the prime demographic for this product.

Do it!

Is it something you both (or the whole family) really wants to do together - then maybe yes. Or is this just for you? Are you going to be able to do something similar for the other kids? will your kid understand that this isn't an all the time thing and if you don't get other presents?

DS is in 7th and would lose his mind over receiving this. He's getting the new Black Pearl instead though. I say do it!

Obviously kids can’t afford it. Doesn’t mean a teen or tween wouldn’t enjoy it as a gift. Are you arguing for the sake of arguing or what?

DP here. Lego has an age rating for all of the sets: this Death Star is 18+. Yes, it is a “suggestion” but it is definitely not for “kids”, teenagers maybe.

And look how is “building” the set in the product description photos on Lego site:

So what? Do you think the 12 year old is going to eat them or something?

Is your kid that into legos and Star Wars? Really ask yourself if he wants it or if you want it.

Fine, have it be his Christmas gift from kids and they all do together. Even if only Lego build day of it after Christmas- worth it!

IDK. I asked that question and am married to one of the world’s biggest Stars Wars fans. My kids do not share his love for it. I would have an issue with him spending 1k on anything for a hobby. I would not spend 1k on my hobby right now either. BUT we have two teens and the stress of college is real and looming since one is 18.

It’s up to OP if they can afford this.

BUY IT FOR ME, OP!

I’m sorry, but $1,000 for a Lego set is too much and not how I’d want to spend my money. That could be airfare for a family trip or a few nights at a hotel somewhere on vacation. I’m too practical.

I’ve had cars that cost less than that Lego set (no, not recently). That is wild.

But if you can afford it, and it will give your kid joy, and give you joy to give it, go for it.

My son is currently off at college, but his room here at home is still decorated with the Lego Star Wars kits that we got him from ages 9-14. He loved them then, and loves them still. So I'm not one to talk you out of it.

OP here. Thank you for all the responses in didn’t expect so many people to be encouraging of this idea.
I’m still thinking about it. It would be an awesome surprise. He’s been collecting Star Wars legos since he was 5.
