LEGO 75252 Imperial Star Destroyer - Star Wars

Like many i thought this would take my Lego Star Destroyer to the next level, and it does to some extent. However the instructions are incredibly poor! Some of the parts received in the kit like the circuit boards don't match the images of the pieces in the instructions. They also rely on the model having exact symmetry which you will know from building each side is slightly different. This leaves you to just guess where to put some of the lighting as it is not clear. Some of the cable that were supposed to be the same length weren't so you can't place and stick some of the circuit boards down in the places they should be. I reached out for better instructions and just got sent the same unhelpful version.Also purchased other lighting kits which i now definitely ... MoreLike many i thought this would take my Lego Star Destroyer to the next level, and it does to some extent.

So Game of Bricks isn't even holding any of their own stock in Europe which is outrageous in 2023.All in all very unhappy and definitely won't be buying any more lighting kits!

After being separated from virtually a room full of Lego for almost 15 years, I went for this set (over a huge Technic model) as I was in a great SW mood. It made me feel happy and fulfilled in a very special way. I pretty much agree with what the other top rating reviews said, the details on this ship are insane, the structural integrity is there, and even just the box(es) and the manual are beautiful. Maybe I will also go for the current Falcon but I doubt anything can beat this. I also can't see any interior going in there. Perhaps an enlarged bridge on the side as a little bonus.It cannot be stretched enough how awesome the building experience is every step along the way. Once you get the triangular frame up, especially with the back section, this iconic giant ... MoreAfter being separated from virtually a room full of Lego for almost 15 years, I went for this set (over a huge Technic model) as I was in a great SW mood.

Once you get the triangular frame up, especially with the back section, this iconic giant shape just looms behind (or over) your construction foreshadowing the sheer power it represents. I tried not to rush but it still feels like it was over too quickly. Personally I loved building the Technic backbone and just how well it all fits when you put the massive separate parts for the exterior together, also the different joints and joining mechanisms employed made me smile. Handling thousands of pieces including a ton of 'wings' repeatedly lit up my imagination about all the other ships I could build with them - but no, this all goes into one floating masterpiece.I used to make spaceship engines/jets out of different wheels from the old space sets and it just worked. Similarly, the solutions for different objects using existing parts all look great on this model and it was heart-warming to encounter 'ancient' pieces like barrels and car doors. Overall I congratulate the designers on creating this and probably getting very close to max-ing out what one can do with Lego, especially considering that the ship itself is mid-air at all times. I can't stop looking up and down the sides and back from different angles. Epic.

This Lego Collector's set is Great, It's a another superb kit from Lego. It has a lot of external detailing but nothing internal. It has four lift off top section's to reveal a clever carrying handle, I found it easy to follow the instruction and completed the build over four evening's. Please think about how you are going to display this model if your going to purchase it, it is large. Overall it is a must for Star Wars collector's, but for me the UCS Millennium Falcon is the most challenging and superior model in detail with all it's removeable panel's and internal detailing. Just my opinion.
