LEGO Star Wars Imperial Shuttle 10212




Buildability: One of the more difficult sets to build because the bags are not numbered and most are white pieces.  On the plus side, most of the bags consist of one or two like pieces so leave them in the original bags and take out pieces as needed.  This set is very impressive, when displayed it is quite large.  Also, the set may look flimsy, but it is the exact opposite; I was able to carry it around by the center wing.  My least favorite (being very picky) is the fact that you have to take the landing gear off to display it on the stand.  

Details: Measures 28" (71cm) tall on stand and 22" (57 cm) wide with wings deployed

Official LEGO description: The elegant Lambda-class Imperial shuttle transports the Empire's elite - and the occasional secret strike team of Rebel commandos - all across the galaxy. Now you can build this huge and iconic Star Wars vehicle in true minifigure scale for the first time ever!

Minifigs: Darth Vader, Shuttle Pilot, Imperial Officer, Stormtrooper and Luke Skywalker.

Value: This is probably one of my favorite sets (so far), however with the price being up there and all the pieces being mostly white, I would recommend collectors only.  As a side note, the price is equal to the brick/cost ratio.

Best Price: The current best price I found is on Amazon.com, be careful there more than one listings for this product...find the cheapest one.

Overall rating: 5 stars, considering a collector is buying the set.
