4.0 out of 5 stars Overall, a good set!, October 17, 2010

I am writing this review for my 11-year-old, so here is his perspective:

Overall the set is good. It comes with numbered bags which make it easy to assemble. The emperor is a great addition since the only other way to get him is with the $400 Death Star set. Here are the pros and cons:

Pros:
wings fold easily
doesn't come apart too easily
cockpit opens up nicely
injured Anakin minifig has good details
back gun swivels easily
great detail on cockpit viewscreen
good seating for clone pilot
front weapons and engines are realistic
landing gear is smooth so it can skid across the ground easily
very sleek design
when I fly it around, the guys stay in their seats

Cons:
it should seat more minifigs, only seats two figs and there is not much space for them
the top comes off too easily so I modified it to make it more secure
did not include enough weapons, so I added some to the wings... Read more

Gave it to my Lego-obsessed son for his 6th birthday. He was able to do most of the building himself, with occasional help/corrections from me. I think the age ranges are way too high. This is a very cool set, with the lift off top, detachable front capsule, and movable wings and landing gear. I think the thing that puts on Darth Vader's helmet is silly but my son likes it. He does play with the completed ship, and it's been fairly durable. It's big - a two handed toy for him, but has held up well except for the wings slowly coming loose over time (easily fixed if noticed before they fall apart). I fully recommend this set.

(This review is written by my 11 year old son with my permission:)
This shuttle is the best! It has secret compartments, 2 light saber holders, and the top comes off for easy movement inside the vehicle, and the cockpit is an immediate ejection for the pilot when they crash. If you think $45.00 is a lot of money it's worth it, big-time....WHY ARE YOU STILL READING THIS REVIEW WHILE YOU COULD BE BUYING THIS NEW LEGO!?
