One of my nephews asked for the Star Wars Lego Death Star for Christmas. I love my nephew, but the Lego Death Star costs $399.00, which kind of blows my budget for xmas presents.

The kit comes with over 3000 tiny little ankle breaking parts. Anyone who has ever stepped on a Lego barefoot knows the ankle breaking part to be true. Landing on one of those suckers barefoot is akin to walking on hot coals, without the soothing warmth.

When his mom mentioned how much the Lego set cost, my nephew replied, “Santa doesn’t care how much things cost.”……And what in the crap do you say to that?

My solution? A gift card to the Lego store which he can save and put toward the Death Star or use to buy a smaller set.
