I never got into LEGO as a child, I was more of a Transformers and GI Joe kid. I've always liked Star Wars, particularly the vehicle design. The imposing, oppressive Star Destroyer is one of my favorites. So now as an adult, with a little money to spare, and looking for a good way to pass a few evenings, this was actually my first ever LEGO kit!I'm really happy with the overall outcome of the kit. The detailed instructions made putting it together simple, and the final product looks pretty good. I spent 3 evenings working on it, but I really wasn't rushing at all. Certainly this could be built in a night or two.There are a few nits I want to focus on. The hull is composed of 4 large sections clamped onto a central spine. The first two hull sections went onto the axis easily enough. The last 2 sections were a bit of a chore though. Space was getting limited, and it was hard to snap them into place without knocking something off of one of the already-attached sections. Also, the nature of the design means the hull shifts around a LOT when you handle the finished ship. The engines fall off if you even look at them funny. I'll be gluing them into place.Beyond those nits, everything else is great. Most importantly, I had a lot of fun putting it together.This 423 piece LEGO Imperial-class Star Destroyer is a wondrous piece of entertainment and education. The construction process can help a child (or even an adult) develop identification and organizational skills as well as time-management and direction following. The directions booklet is easy to follow with colored pictures that depict a step-by-step process of constructing the vehicle. Each piece used in each step is highlighted in a legend above the picture depicting the actions required to achieve construction and head to the next step. Construction is easy and fun overall, leaving the builder satisfied and accomplished. The finished product is a beautiful replica of everyone's favorite spacial assault vehicle (it even has a stand built into the bottom for display). From the bridge to the six turbolaser turrets to the docking bay in the keel, this model is enough to satisfy any Star Wars fan's desire for authenticity and the thrill of being able to hold a REAL Imperial Star Destroyer! As an experienced and avid LEGO builder as well as a hardcore Star Wars fan, I cannot help but recommend this model. I have constructed many like it, such as Vader's TIE Advanced among others, and I must say constructing this model was incredibly fun, satisfying, and it looks great on my desk next to the others!Most sets average between10 to 15 cents per piece.....this rounds out at 47 whopping cents per piece. I could maybe, MAYBE understand this as an extreme collectors set, but it doesn't have anything that would give it any added value such as minifigs or custom molded pieces. It's all extremely generic. I honestly have no idea why in the world this set is priced this way, it is extremely not worth it.In addition to its exhorbitant pricing, it also has horrible packaging and instructions. I have garnered far more enjoyment from smaller sets and the detail that went into sorting pieces into certain bags that you would work through as you build the set, each phase of the build corresponding to a certain bag to allow for maximum organization and minimum clutter.....but not this. You literally have to open every bag and have them in a giant pile to sort through, which isn't a major sin, but when you've put together sets with far more organizational intent, it just seems lazy and needlessly frustrating.For the price I paid it is not a very big Lego kit. I wish it were biggerThis was purchased as a present for my 12 year old son's birthday. I wasn't about to spend the money for the full size model and didn't want the small version. This seemed like a good compromise. My son certainly enjoyed putting it together although it wasn't a great challenge for a Lego Star Wars freak like my son.It was completed fairly quickly, only took a couple of hours at the most. It looks great but its problem is it's a bit underwhelming even though it's the midsize. If you think about it, a cute Imperial Star Destroyer is kind of an oxymoron.'Nough said.I purchased this model for my son (college student) who is a big Star Wars collector of various models. The pieces are pretty small and not recommended for younger children without supervision. Yes, there are a lot of pieces to this model and it took my soon about 5 hours to put it all together. Because of it's delicate nature, it's not something to be "played with" as it can easily break. Makes a nice addition to his other items which are also on display in his room. Great for the price and I am sure any other Star Wars enthusiast would also enjoy this too.I'm a Mom, and one of my sons is a Star Wars... enthusiast, to put it mildly. (Is "Crazed Star Wars Memorizing Nine Year Old Boy" a better description?)This is not the super large Star Destroyer -- this is a midi-scale set, but it is still cool.$30 is a good price -- it is manageable (~400 pieces). There are no minifigs -- minifigs add to the cost of Lego sets. It's just a fun set -- stays together in play. There is a good system for keeping the wings angled correctly.This middle class Star Destroyer is a decent enough substitute when you can't shell out the $200 or more for the Limited Edition, massive scale kit. Definitely more of a looker than a toy as it is easy to knock the command deck off or angle the plates when picking it up. I like it.As the wife put her foot down and told me I couldn't have a 4' Lego Star Destroyer I decided to try my luck with the midi size model. It looks great on my bookshelf now. Building it wasn't difficult, I've not played with Lego for about 15 years and put it together in about an hour and a half.It's not something I'd buy for a child to play with, but I love it for myself.90 Euro sind viel zu teuer für die paar schwarzen und grauen Teile. Enttäuschend auch, dass keine Besatzung Platz findet. Lieber Bauanleitung runterladen und mit den teilen die zu Hause vorrätig sind freestyle nachbauenEin (optisch) wirklich tolles Modell.Allerdings nicht wirklich stabil und zum Spielen nicht besonders geeignet.Die Hecksektion (Trägerplatte) wird mittels zwei Stangen von hinten eingesteckt,was keine besonders stabile Konstruktion ergibt.Die Heckdüsen sind sehr wackelig angebracht, vor allem die kleinenern Zusatzdüsenfallen gerne schon mal ab.Als Sammlermodell allerdings uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen.Optisch, ein ziemlich gut umgesetztes Lego-Modell einer kleineren Version des Imperialen Sternzerstörers!Der Aufbau selbst hat Spass gemacht & durch seine kompakteren Maße leicht greifbar => auch mit kleinen Händen.Manko ist auf jedenfall die Konstruktion der 4 abgeschrägten Segmente, die nach Bauabschluss viel zu instabil sind (fast wie 2 Flügel die etwas auf&ab schlagen können), wobei sich dadurch die hintere Düsensektion oftmals lockert und abfällt.Insgesamt geb ich dem Kreuzer trotzdem die volle Punktzahl, da er darüberhinaus neben dem Modell 10221 einfach zu gut harmoniert!Un peu rapport qualité prix très mauvaisEt j ai l habitude d acheter des legos SWPlus jamais chez vous
