This set is a great recreation of the ship seen in the original Star Wars movie (A New Hope). It features a workable cockpit hatch, firing missiles, and fold-able wings. The Darth Vader figure included is also spot-on with a removable mask and lightsaber. He sits well in the cockpit. Very nice! A word of caution, though, in that some have complained that the wings separate too easily. Nevertheless, I think this is a good opportunity to teach children to handle their toys with proper care. Plus, it gives them patience!

this toy is totally cool! anything starwars and legos is terrific in my book! looks very much like the space ship in the movie..
This is something our grandson wanted for Christmas. Upon opening it, I said,”Never!” However, we , (mostly HE!) put it together in a little over two hours.Tricky, but not TOO difficult. MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW DIRECTIONS, Otherwise you must return and fix what you missed. Lots of fun, 250+ pieces, give yourself time. Good luck, and enjoy!
Bought this for my 7 year old Grandson because he loves all things StarWars. He has been to Legoland and just had to have this. Thank goodness he has his older brother and sister because they had to build it. He did put together Darth Vader and I think that alone was worth the purchase. Now that it is built he wants to play with it but of course it just breaks apart. No worries he loves it anyway. I would not recommend this for any household with small children. The parts are tiny, some as small as a 1/4″ or less. The older kids loved putting it together and it kept them busy all evening. Very important to follow the instruction booklet provided right from the start. Great product for the right age group.
It was for our 8 year old son. It was challenging yet very fun for him to build. The ship and figure (Darth Vader!) are fun to play with.
This was a good Christmas gift. Lots of small pieces so kept my son busy for a couple hours.
I bought this a gift for my nine year old son and he loves it!
My son and I built this together yesterday. (He is 6) We had a great time working on it together. He loves that it came with Darth Vader and that he can sit in the ship. As with other Lego kits, the quality is extremely high. The pieces all fit together and make solid connections. Pieces are straight, line up well, etc. This is very impressive on the parts where multiple tubes coming out of one piece have to line up with another piece’s holes. He’ll probably play with it fully assembled for another day or two. Then we’ll pull it apart and add the pieces to his collection. This to me is the real strength of Legos. It’s funny making something from the movie, but I think it is better for my son and more fun when we start building our own creations. The cool thing the film kits bring to the table are pieces that can be used in really creative ways. Figuring out how to put together moving parts is also a lot of fun and takes some real analytical thinking. I loved Lego as a kid myself and think they’ve done nothing but improve on what has always been a great product.
