Does not mention any Polish labour, so I am assuming the price mentioned could be halved

Suppose the Chinese will do a cheap fake version, by painting the Moon battle ship grey.

were you looking at the Economy Compact or one of the up-grades?
|
|
By:
Don't cut corners is my advice. I commissioned one a couple of years back, but it failed to get a certificate after my Estonian workforce made the deflector shields out of MDF

remember you'll need planning permission from the Commission of the Inter Galactic Federation AND the Federated Inter Galactic Commission.

By:
a pleasing thread
|
|
By:
supervision of the project would be pretty exhausting and require a lot of manpower. i also imagine you'd need a pretty strong way of motivating your builders to stay on schedule and deliver on time.
you'd also want to make sure there were no minor flaws in the build or design which left it with defensive vulnerabilities. |

By:
have you looked into the Fun Star, it's smaller and doesn't come with the Destroy an Entire Planet option, but you have to ask yourself how often you'll need that.

Darth Vader at his most irritating here...

By:
Darth is actually quite a funny guy, but similar to his nephew Stephen Hawking, it's his voice modulator that makes him come across as quite stand-offish.

By:
If I was Dr Doom, I'd be seething at having my act ripped off so blatantly by Vader.
Actually, if I was Dr Doom, I'd just be seething full-stop. |
|
By:
Dr Doom not a proper doctor, just a Ph.D in Political Science ffs
|

By:
How much would a hearing aid cost?
|
|
By:
Agree polybot - Dr Doom is an intergalactic Gillian McKeith imo
|
|
By:
I'd like to change the format a bit, with it possibly causing the death of stars in the celebrity sense. It could hover over panel shows, red carpet affairs and Hello magazine sponsored weddings to zap unsuspecting publicity hungry n0bs.

HRH I'd let you press the Matt Dawson vapourisation button.

with x-wing attack warranty coverage? |
|
By:
HH - I approve a state of DEFCON 1 around the Question Of Sport Studio.
|
|
By:
No thanks Polybot. They always rip you off with the add-ons. X-wings would have no chance against a death star.
|
|
By:
fair enough, though it's company policy to ask. had a bloke in the other day said the same thing, tall, dark, flowing black cape and metallic mask, he seemed self assured and confident.
|
|
By:
hang on, i thought you were enquiring about the hearing aid?
|
|
By:
Pardon?
|
|
By:
i've reported this communication to my supervisor.
|
|
By:
I had that bloke in too - he's now gone off conquering the universe and instead has used his voice to set up a phone sex line, and is doing very nicely thank you out of the Betfair Chit Chat forum
 |

By:
I bet he never sees his wife and kids though
|
|
By:
i think he still sees Luke occassionally
|
|
By:
I heard his son went over to the other side
 |
|
By:
nothing wrong with a wookie-friendly son imo

Too many Hand Solo's

By:
don't think some people appreciate the pressure involved in managing a death star, not as easy at it seems.
|
|
By:
Well yes polybot, no doubt there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes that we don't get to hear about but if Darth Vadar could perhaps organise a kareoke night for example for the general workers and especially the Storm Troopers it would certainly boost morale as everyone seems so serious all the time, none more so than Darth himself. Food for thought anyway.

By:
Goodness knows how they clean the outside windows
|
|
By:
Maybe some sort of bot cleaner?
|
|
By:
don't think i'd risk a bot, possibly a human or a monkey though.

Goodness knows how they clean the outside windows simple really, they phone LUKE windowwalker. |
|
By:
For the price, with a bit of leaving off luxury items like gold taps for the Vader's bath, music in the elevators and lockable doors for the exhaust ports, you could probably build two Death Stars - that'd be the bollux
|
|
By:
^ You clearly haven't thought this through, you'll never getting planning permission for a second residence. This is of course unless you can get an envelope full of cash to Darth Redknapp on the planning committee.

By:
I was thinking of not telling anyone and building the second one behind the first. If the inspector of Death Stars did spot it through a window, I'd tell him he was seeing this one reflected in the Death Star's giant rear-view mirror. I don't anticipate any problems - whose going to notice it anyway?
The alternative would be to build two but with the material from one. The only drawbacks would be that they would obviously be smaller with lower ceilings and Vader would have to stoop a bit while threatening everyone, which would detract from his aura of evil somewhat - he wouldn't be able to run down the corridors either, not without banging his head. |
