"That Blast came from the Death Star! That thing is Operational!" - Lando Calrissian, year unknown.
Fortunately, the only thing blasting out of my Kotobukiya Star Wars: Death Star Silicone Tray (KSW:DSST) is delicious cocktails! Often I'll be sipping on a philyorita in a rocks glass with my death star ice cube in it and someone will be like "Where did you get that spherical ice cube?". Now, here's the best part, I get to respond "That's no spherical ice cube, that's the death star you idiot". I enjoy myself every time this happens. No one else finds it amusing. You're welcome for sharing.
When these same friends find out that I also own Kotobukiya Star Wars R2D2 Silicone Tray and Kotobukiya Star Wars Han Solo Silicone Tray they are super weirded out. Like, facebook defriending weirded out. Thankfully Mrs. Philyodaddy is locked in with a ring on it, so she can't leave me. It's a trap.
Now let me rate the KSW:DSST in the categories provided by amazon:
How much fun is this toy: 4/5 stars - 5 stars because it makes drinks more fun MINUS 1 star deducted because I don't know in what bizarro world this qualifies as a "toy". Maybe a dog toy if that silicone is totally safe to chew, unknown at this time.
How would you rate this toy's educational value? 5/5 - The destruction of the death star is a laudable lesson in exposing the power of nature over the myth of technological dominance.
How durable is this toy: 5/5 - hasn't broken yet. Fill it about 80% of the way and it makes a perfect ice Death Star. Every time.
Overall - 5/5 Best ice cube death star maker I have ever seen. Dominates the category.
Con: it is pretty hard to remove the case from ice cube when frozen. Luckily, philyodaddy has the strength of the Force on his side, but for average people this could be a cause for concern.

Fun little gift
I received this item far before the expected delivery date which was great. The packaging wasn't anything special. I was actually slightly disappointed since I picked this brand of Star Wars ice cube over others on Amazon since I saw in one of the pictures a box in reference to the height. I incorrectly assumed from seeing the picture of the box that the product would be packaged in a box. It wasn't, and was merely put in a small plastic bag inside a slightly larger shipping plastic bag from China. I wanted a box, as it was a gift, but the fact it wasn't in one isn't too big of a deal, it's just a bit of false advertising. As far as the product itself, I'm impressed! I gave it to my dad and was instantly excited to try it out. Upon filling the hole on top up and freezing it overnight, I discovered two things. 1. The water should not be filled to the top. 2. This is very difficult to pry open after taking out of the freezer. The physics of water expanding when turning from a liquid to a solid completely went over my head and so the first time the water had frozen over the hole in the night. I've tried several times since and it's always fun to see how it turns out. I use tap water and it never shows as crystal clear. It also often has cracks and a rim around the middle of excess ice. But despite all of the gripes I still love it and my dad does too. It was cheap, and it's a fun little item. The result may not be perfect but we aren't building a real Death Star here or something to rival Echo base, we're making ice balls to put in my dad whiskey that begin to melt and lose detail within minutes. Regardless of my criticisms, I think it serves it's purpose and I shall continue to try to use this mold and create the perfect Death Star. And as my father reminded me, "the ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force."

It's cool, but a bit tricky at first. Make sure the two pieces are perfectly lined up and all the way pushed together. It is also a guessing game on how much water to put in. The instructions are in a different language. But once you figure it out it's pretty cool. The picture show when you put too much water in. It comes out the top and pushes the two pieces apart a little bit. And the ice globe is all cracked from the pressure. I will also try to use purified water next time maybe it won't be so foggy. The pictures don't show the markings very well, but they are there. And it looks like the death Star.
