Built it over the weekend. Bought this for my son. He just started to like LEGOS.
It came exactly as presented and I'm sure he will have hours of fun putting it together. I purchased this for my 9 year old grandson for Christmas, he was thrilled with it.
Thank you for making my nephews Christmas enjoyable. Will order from this vendor again in the future. Very fast shipping and arrived earlier than stated. Made my nephews Christmas that much better.
Yes, I am bragging but building it was just the beginning of the fun. Although it is very complex and very detailed inside and out, he put it together in a day. The Destroyer is so well equipped (inside and out) that it provides endless inspiration for his imagination. My grandson(8) loves the Imperial Star Destroyer. He is our resident expert on Star Wars.
With 1300+ pieces, many of them special, I'm impressed that Lego gets this right. The only drawback is that the bottom of the model is attached weakly to the main structure, and gravity works against the attachments.
On top of that the engines elevates the bottom from the table so this makes the problem worse. There are only six connection points involved.
This was a lot of fun to build. Lego seemed to focus on the frame of the ship for sturdiness.
I think some reengineering on my part can resolve the issue.We got this as a door-buster for Thanksgiving so that was the only way we would have bought it - $179 is too much to pay. This is our first big Lego set and I was thrilled that all the pieces were in the box.
Along the way I thought a piece was missing in the kit but each time it was operator error.Most of the constructed kit is solid construction.
