Really like this toy
My 5 year old loves Star Wars and has 2 of the sets. He is able to play with the completed ships and they stay together really well. He was able to put them together with minimal help. They are great because they are easy to store.
A Star Destroyer you can afford
This is a fairly fun set, and reasonably close to the real thing as far as LEGO Star Wars Mini sets go. The main drawbacks are:
- "wings" near the back can move even though they shouldn't be able to
- no extra model to motivate you to buy the entire series (like the TIE bomber or Y wing in previous LEGO Start Wars Mini sets)
- Uses new dark gray color
The color issue is only a problem if you intend to mix the pieces with other old dark gray pieces.
On the plus side, like all of the Mini sets this is:
- fast to build
- cheap
- easy to store/display due to small size
Start Your Own Fleet
Star Wars mini vehicles allow users to create vast scenes from the movies without spending thousands of dollars. Each new model has at least one special piece so that you won't be able to duplicate it exactly by using other pieces in your collection.
The Star Destroyer is a nice looking model and, for a mini, actually has a feeling of massiveness in its design.
The directions are standard Lego format and are easy to follow. The final construction is solid (although two sloped sides can lift a little as they are on hinges to get the slope). There is no packaged instructions for combining parts of this model with others to create a different Star Wars vehicle (some of the other sets do).
All in all, very nicely done.
