(More customer reviews)I have a love-hate relationship with huge Lego sets.I love their features and complexity, but I hate their price.This set is one of the more expensive Lego sets, but it is loaded with features.On the other hand, it is a little fragile, even for a Lego.On the plus side, anyone having this set will be the envy of their friends, if they love Star Wars Legos.
Lego recommends this set for children ages 9 to 14.The main reason is that the set contains 1,366 pieces of various sizes, and the assembly steps require two instruction books.Once you have built this immense (nearly two foot long) kit, you have one of the largest Star Wars Lego Sets available.
The bridge opens to reveal controls and a place for two crew members, who are supposed to be Grand Moff Tarkin and an imperial officer.You can remove the bridge and its associated structure from the lower portion of the ship to then be able to open the panels in the ship to reveal the interior of the ship.The bridge portion also includes "lasers," two of which can be launched a very short distance by tapping a button.The only problem with these "lasers" is that they tend to fall out when I tilt the ship forward.The panels that open on the lower portion of the ship mount four turbo lasers that pivot and tilt with a little effort.Two lasers with limited motion are also mounted on these panels.
When you open the ship there is a lot of room available inside the ship.This space includes room for two storm troopers, Darth Vader, two royal guards, R2-D5, and a mouse droid.The interior also has a crane for removing Darth Vader's helmet, a meditation chamber for Vader, a storage location for weapons, an emperor hologram, and an escape pod that can be "launched" through an opening in the lower part of the ship.
The bridge removes reasonably easily, preferably with two hands, and feels solid when removed.The first time I picked up the entire ship I had a couple of pieces that separated, but I attached them more tightly and I have not had a problem since.However, the ship does feel a little fragile and I suspect that I will need to tighten the pieces again after some play time.
The real advantage of this Lego set is its looks.With panels closed and bridge attached this set looks powerful and sinister.Though this set is likely not amenable to being swung about, I can see setting it on a piano bench or short table and having rebel fighters zipping back and forth in an attempt to blast it.
This Star Wars Lego set is the longest set we own, and rivals the Millenium Falcon as the most impressive Star Wars Lego that we have in our collection.Only the Star Wars Legos in the Ultimate Collector Series exceed the complexity and looks of this kit.This set is an excellent addition to the collection of any Star Wars Legos.
Enjoy!

Product Description:
Designed to strike awe and terror into Rebels hearts, the Imperial Star Destroyer and the rest of the Empires fleet of space vessels maintain order in the galaxy through shows of power and ruthless fighting tactics. This massive (23-inches when assembled) Lego space ship, based on the Star Wars craft, will be a feather in the cap of any self-respecting Lego buff. With 1,366 pieces and a top and sides that swing open to reveal the inner workings, construction of the kit will be an adventure in itself. Once built, the Imperial Star Destroyer will provide hours more of play, as fans re-enact scenes from the millennia of fictional Star Wars history, or even create new battles and alliances in conjunction with other Lego Star Wars kits (Jabbas Sail Barge, the B-Wing Fighter, etc.).
Kids (and adults) will love discovering the multiple gadgets within: a platform for Darth Vader to talk to a hologram of the Emperor, a meditation chamber for Darth Vader with a crane to remove his helmet, turbo laser cannons on the bridge that really discharge, an escape shuttle releases in case of emergency, a storage closet for Stormtrooper rifles, and a bridge that slides open. Nine mini-figures are included (Darth Vader, Grand Moff Tarkin, two Stormtroopers, two Emperors Royal Guard, Imperial Officer, R2-D5, and Mouse Droid). --Emilie Coulter
