Nice to look at, but be cautious in handling... January 2, 2009
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 sturdier. 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!
