Maybe TLC will come out with a nanofig sized UCS death star... that should
only be about 50 feet in diameter. Much easier to get the bricks for
something that scale... :)


Just to give you an order of size and brick required. I did some calculation to
build Khafre's pyramid. At minifig scale it would take 240,000 2x4 bricks; at
technicfig scale you would need 1,080,000 2x6 bricks. And your pyramid would be
hollow. At minifig scale the pyramid would be 9 feet across and a little over 6
feet tall (assuming a minifig is 6 feet tall).
