The Lego Imperial Star Destroyer is one of the nicest Lego sets out due to its sheer size, over 3,000 piece count, and just because its one of the most elegant looking designs in the Star Wars universe. Overall construction time for this set is about 12-16 hours (not factoring in breaks and whatnot) and a good sturdy work area is recommended (I used a card table to build mine on)-I would NOT build this set on the bed or floor due to later stability issues that will arise. Please note that if you are planning to display this set that an eventual droop will occur (or may not, but I have seen where its occurring more than its not occurring) in the ship due to the weight of the ship being on two support structures. There are numerous fixes for this that could be found online using internet search engines, from simple fixes like using pennies to more complex modifications including additional Lego pieces. Great kit, and recommended for the serious Lego Star Wars fan! Read more
to all who may purchase this toy. This is by far the greatest display model ever built! but I recommend that for those actually looking for something to carry 50,000 storm troopers, as well as something that can make the jump to warp 3, I suggest you look else ware. This toy, though the replica of a military imperial vessal is nothing more than show. Its delightful purpose is only that of bragging and excess to the things you own. All in all, this is a very fun product. I encourage all with money to spend that you buy this particular toy. Read more
Lego Star Destroyer is a great build. Make sure you have plenty of room and time to complete it. It took me 4 hours just to seperate the pieces into piles, and approx. another 25-30 to complete the build. This is a model, not a toy. It isn't meant to be played with or moved around much after assembly. The magnets hold the lower plates on just fine as long as you don't try to pick it up by anything other than the stand. I built it in our lower level family room and it is now displayed in our master bedroom. And yes, I did do the sound effects when I "flew" it from point A to point B. Read more
First off, this Lego set is an extremely hard build. After it is built...you do NOT ply with it. It is simple for show. You might as well just find an ORIGINAL one like this, keep it in the box, and triple your money. I received two for my birthday from two separate people when they were around $300 a piece. I kept one sealed. VERY good investment it seems :). I've had a $1300 offer so far! Read more
A must for this model is a very large table to lay everything out, an eye for counting and about 20 hours. Apart from that I enjoyed myself immensely and I have to say the model is awesome the more you look the more you appreciate the detail. I had no trouble with the magnets and I think the model is very sturdy and well designed. Its interesting when you build the different sections you wonder why certain things are buitl that way but when it all slots together it is a very clever piece of design. I am now looking out for the next one to build. Read more
Got the wrong set. Had to return. Read more

At the time this model came out, it has been the largest set with 3104 bricks. It took me several days (12 - 16 hours) to assemble it. The model is very impressive do to its size of almost 1 meter (about 37 inches). Even though in the meantime Lego released the Death Star (model #10143) with more 3449 bricks, this is still the biggest one (size wise) around. Definitely a must-have for Lego/Star Wars fans.
