Customer Review: Awesome toy but a bit pricey
I got this toy for christmas and I was so excited I could’nt wait. The disign of this toy was Awesome and you can put the three peaple in the launcher except R2-D5. The other pros are that the disigners lable the wrappers, the launcher works, you can open the ship in three easy steps and the disign is great; and the cons are you can’t use the robot to take Darth Vader’s mask off that well. But, this toy say it’s worth it to get and if you have mini figes or if you builded mini figes then it well be a lot more fun. I hope you like it.
Customer Review: Nice to look at, but be cautious in handling…
This Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer (Lego set 6211) is 3.7 x 15.1 x 25.6 inches in size when completed. It reportedly ends up at 5.4 pounds, and has 1366 pieces. When completed, it’s a bit on the fragile side.
It took two teenagers three hours to compete from start to finish. This was the first set I’ve seen that had the parts in numbered plastic bags; the instructions then referred to “bag number X” so you had the right parts in front of you. This made it easier, but the point of making a big Lego set isn’t necessarily to make it as fast as possible. A huge part of the fun is in the construction process! I’m not sure I’m a fan of the “parts in numbered bags” concept.
But the finished model looks big and bad! Make sure you have adequate space to display it. It opens up completely so you can see an escape pod, Darth Vader, the armory, the control bridge, and a projection of the Emperor.
The instruction manual comes in two volumes. The box is simply a holder for the plastic parts bags, opening on the end. I like it when you can dump the bags into the main body of the box while making a model. I had to use another box for this purpose. It keeps the parts together, and you hear the music of those Lego pieces rattling against each other as you search for the next piece! Lego enthusiasts, you know what I’m talking about!
So… I like big models for mature Lego enthusiasts. I like them to take longer to build (part of their attraction). I’d like this model to be studier. I’d also like it to have a display base that holds it above the table.
But it’s Star Wars and Legos… what else can I say!? This one was made while watching Episode I, not Episode IV that introduced the Star Destroyer. Maybe that was my mistake!
