So LEGO is releasing a new, 1,558 piece set in May. When constructed, you’ll get a model of Luke Skywalker’s X-wing fighter from Star Wars that’s a foot and a half wide and long.

It’ll only set you back $200 in the U.S.!

Lorenz Lnggrtnr and Rene Hoffmeister have put together “Builders of Sound,” a large music boxy thing that plays a few bars of the Star Wars main theme with Lego dioramas of the movie.

While I’m busy working out how I’m going to steal it, Lnggrtnr has a lot of pictures and videos up.

BEFORE YOU WATCH THIS, YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THIS WILL COST $179.99 IN U.S. DOLLARS. I feel that I would be kind of a jerk if I didn’t let you know up front, before you start drooling over this, that it’ll cost an arm and a leg.

Now that you have been warned, feel free to start drooling all over this amazing R2-D2 LEGO kit coming out in May.

Lego recreation of the Antikythera mechanism? Awesome.

Totally cheesy music? Icing on the cake.
