![]() In this small free time that I have had, I’ve found myself building Star Wars vignettes. And whilst work has kept me busy these last few months, any free time I’ve had has been spent running away from screens and into the LEGO drawers (amid actual running!). The variety of amazing builds we feature here at The Brothers Brick certainly leaves me ( Ben Dodds) inspired to go and try out some of the ideas we see. Constructed of 5,374 pieces, and available from LEGO stores and their website on October 4 (October 1 for Insiders), 75367 Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser retails for US $649.99 | CAN $849.99 | UK £559.99. You’ll have to read on to uncover my nostalgia-laden build of this new model. Star Wars certainly has come a long way since then, as has LEGO. I thought back on this time quite a bit as I tackled the construction of the latest offering in the Ultimate Collector Series: 75367 Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser. To this day, it’s the only LEGO Star Wars UCS set I’ve ever purchased. It was epic! I sat in my room watching Episodes I through VI while I assembled the great ball of bricks, feeling my love of the SW Universe course through my fingers and into this mammoth set I could barely afford. It’s at that mall’s LEGO store that I, irrational college student that I am at the time, purchase 10143 Death Star II. I go with some friends to IKEA for dorm room accoutrements, and we stop at the Mall of America on the way back. The year is 2007, and I’ve just begun my junior year of college at the University of Minnesota (Go Gophers!). No, we’re not going to head all the way back to 2005 when the Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser first made its appearance on screen in Revenge of the Sith, but it’s close.
