I don't believe that the best place to leave the thing is the corner of the desk. People are walking around and reaching for pieces.

@jesusdiaz: I'm not entirely convinced he was using the term 'geeky' in a bad way :^)
I'm so getting this set once I have stupid money.
Been a long time since I had stupid money.
Damn.

@sublimnl:...as I was saying, even Digg has figured out how to get videos to play straight from the main page. Its a shame Giz hasn't done the same.

@gotsmart:

Guess I shouldn't do a time lapse vid of me building this monstrosity by myself, unless I want to be taunted by the interwebs.

...still it's good to know 3 hours is the time to beat.

Actually, I DO click through for a lot of things. I am in Australia (but I'm from TEXAS, damnit!), so my routine each morning is to open up all the stories I am interested in in new tabs. So giz gets TONS of click throughs from me, WHEN their journalism merits it. If there is sufficient info on the main page or there is not "more after the jump" then I don't bother to click through. Sometimes there is stuff like this which I don't care about the comments on so I click the big play button cause I want to watch it NOW only to have to immediately go back a page, find it again, open it in a new tab, find that tab, and then click play AGAIN. Its whack. If its for click throughs then its just greedy. I mean, even Digg has figured out

I'd like to see the uncut version of that video. I am also surprised to see no one actually flew the finished falcon around the room when they were finished along with the swishing sounds. Isn't that what it was built for? And where is the simulated Tie fighter attack. Boooooosh.

Remember that episode of Homer trying to build a grill? That's exactly what I'd be like if I attempted to build this thing.

Too much lego for me :(

Pleas post additional lame, un-entertainment such as puzzle solving, Play-Doh Fun Factory pressing, Rubiks cube solving and Jenga tower growth.

Good times (NOT).

@CowHunter: Don't forget, though. It took three hours for a group of seven (presumably) experienced LEGO fans to put together. For more normal/casual people? Expect quite a bit longer. =)

I was actually hoping for a time-lapse. I was also hoping it would be done better.

...And that I could view it without clicking through.

I wonder if someone will build one, then throw it out of a window to see if it flies.

@Freeman: I think most people didn't click through, which is why gawker made the non-embed change. Now they force more pageviews and get more unrelated comments like this, and all they had to sacrifice for it was their user's end experience. What a bargain! Yet more reason for me to remove them from AdBlocker's exclude list. (Yes, on sites which respect me as a user, I actually go out of my way to unblock ads, and when I see something useful I click)

@sublimnl: @dhaberer: Doodz, you'd click thru to post or read comments anyway, so what's the big deal?

Now, if they could get the player to play without pauses & stuttering, that would be a cause I could get behind! :)

I'm completely with you sublimnl. Though of course giz only case about getting as many page turns as possible.

CowHunter — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 09:22:45 EDT

just think. it took just under 3 hours to build. imagin how many months it took to develop such a beast with legos, not to mention the extra couple months to write the manual on how to assemble it correctly

Yeah it sure reeks of advertising greed to not allow these to play on the main screen. I wonder if their identical twin, Engadget is doing this... may be time for a strike ;)

Some people are never happy. Two days ago people were asking for the time-lapse and now you say is geeky we reported on it?

Well, of course it's geeky :-) And I totally dig this things.

Soko — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 08:42:34 EDT

i was wondering the same thing...looks like in the last frame or two there is a timer at the bottom right. From what I can determine it looks like 2:53. Sounds plausable with all the people working on it.

My son is 5 and just loves these. star wars is his favorite and the trains that run on batteries on tracks also. Just saving up for some of these bigger ones like the death star.

I'm not sure which is the geekiest part of this story: That they bought it and built it, that they recorded it in time-lapse photography, or that it got reported on Gizmodo.
