LEGO came out with a Star Wars Darth Vader Transformation kit (7251)
for RM 44.90. I saw it at Jusco before I came back and couldn’t resist
buying it. I haven’t assembled LEGO sets in a long, long time.
I brought the Lego Star Wars Darth Vader Transformation box to the
office today to assemble during my lunch break. The back of the kit
shows how Anakin Skywalker can be transformed into Darth Vader using a
twisting movement. I just found the kit interesting, so I decided to
give it a go.
I opened up the box and pulled out several LEGO pieces inside a plastic bag. It didn’t look like it would be hard to assemble…
…until I noticed that there’s another packet of Lego pieces in the
box, a flat LEGO mounting board and an instructions manual. That’s the
problem with LEGO pieces, there’s always more than you think. ;)
This is the assorted LEGO Star Wars pieces from the first packet.
You can see an Anakin Skywalker LEGO man piece in there as well as an
unmasked Darth Vader LEGO man. There’s something about the characters
having a LEGO man head that cracks me up to no end. :)
This is the other (smaller) packet, which mostly contains the LEGO
pieces necessary to build the torture device/transformation thingy. The
instructions manual (a thinly disguised promotional brochure) is at the
back.
The LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Transformation manual has the same flame-licking-the-fringes design as the box.
I must admit, I’ll be lost without the step-by-step instructions to build the contraption. Seriously.
I started with the base LEGO mounting board and started building up
the back towers (they’re actually LEGO pieces, but I’m trying to lose
myself in the illusion here, dammit ;)).
The side swing away multiple armed transformation machine came was
starting to bear some resemblance to the image on the box after a
couple of minutes.
It’s starting to look more and more like the LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Transformation kit now…
Behold! The LEGO pieces are finally assembled! I present to you – The LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Transformation!
This is the “Darth Vader” side – the previous photo shows the “Anakin Skywalker” side.

Here’s a video to show how the LEGO swivels to “transform” Anakin Skywalker to Darth Vader.
There are also two other possible permutations with the existing
LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader transformation kit – there’s no instructions
for those, but it can be done with a bit of experimentation. One of
them depicts Darth Vader standing beside the machine and the other
shows Darth Vader with this huge ass phallic looking weapon.
I like it in the original form though, so the LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Transformation set is sitting on my desk at work now.
Hello. I just wanted to pop in and comment on the design of your blog. Don’t take this the wrong way, but it’s too loud. It’s doing way too much and it takes away from what youve got to say – which I think is really important.
a lot lately with my father so hopefully this will get him to see my point of view. Fingers crossed! licensed mortgage bankers
what’s happening. I appreciate it is not related to your post, however I am browsing your blog on my brand new blackberry but it won’t render properly, do you have any suggestions? Do you use a mobile theme for your site, if so can you please ensure it is not broken and everything is in order at your site. In the meantime I will check a few of my other favourite posts to double check it isnt just myself. Thanks friend.
Aw, this was a really quality website. In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a nice website… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.
As a Newbie, I am always exploring online for articles that can help me. Thank you
So, actually, the conditions were actually something else.
My concern is with Android as a gaming platform. Yes, Angry Birds plays well – but I bought Reckless Racing on both my iPhone 4 and Nexus One specifically to test out performance and I’m sad to report that where the iPhone is fast and fluid the Nexus One is sometimes slow and choppy. I even overclocked the Nexus but I didn’t notice a big difference. This being Sony I’m sure they’ll have their own store with games specific to their hardware so hopefully it’ll be a better experience than on my Nexus One. I would still prefer a proper slide out keyboard with alternate gaming buttons (think BlackBerry number keys over the letters).
very interesting blog for sure I found it while looking for Lead Generation stuff surprisingly enough.
If you don

I like your blog.
I dont really know what youre talking about here. this cant be the only way to think about this can it? It seems like you know a lot about the subject, so why not explore it more? Make it more accessible to everyone else who may not agree with you? Youd get a lot more folks bend this if you just stopped making general statements.
Good day, I want to tell you that I have found this article to be amazingly helpful to me. I also have a simple question for you, would it be fine if I were to give you a couple of my own great articles for other people to look at. Please get back to me, regards Jake
At last I’ve found just the information that I’ve been in search of. You know, it was actually irritating to surf through a dozen websites but not get the to-the-point stuffs. However, your website was an exception. I can proudly tell that- “See, here’s a website that I value for my study! ”
Howdy, buddy, I must give you my congratulations for building an extremely fantastic web site. You see, you’ve caught my fascination. And, I do not simply fail to remember guys who grab my interest. What I actually do to such guys is that I bookmark their websites and keep a steady look on their blogposts to check out if they happen to be as good as the ones that I first read. Now, Beware: YOU happen to be on the top of my bookmark list!
