Customer Reviews

Not Well Designed
Like many my age, I grew up with Legos. My wife bought this kit for me for Christmas. I was excited. After a couple of days of work, my excitement had turned to frustration and finally to anger. This kit is poorly designed, and the instructions are not well thought out. First, the "Death Star" is built on a base that you construct of Legos. This base is not very sturdy. The instructions said to put a bunch of parts just on one side. Left alone, the structure would tip over because of the imbalance. Much of the structure had such flimsy connections that the slightest thing would break connections. I don't mean the quality of the Legos; those things are impossible to break. I mean the way in which various bars, hinges, etc were put together.

In the end my wife and I probably spent 40 hours building something that would not hold together. I love Legos but this kit gets nothing but ill will for me. For lack of a better phrase, this kit sucks.

LIKE BUILDING WITH TOOTHPICKS
My son purchased this set for me for my birthday. I am an adult female and have put together many lego sets. After 4 days, my frustration level had hit a peak and the set has been put away. Everytime you try and attach a piece, a former piece falls off, especially the circle which holds the lasers. Put in a laser, the circle falls apart. Great design but extremely poor construction. Would have been a great set if the legos just stayed in place the first time instead of reattatching them 10 times.

It took awhile but it's finally together
I got this set as a gift and it is enormous. There are lots of small pieces that take a while to put together. After a few weeks of putting this together, it turned out great. With as much time as I've invested in building this, it's displayed well out of the reach of my 4 year old and the cats. This is a great set for Star Wars/Lego fans.
