LEGO Star Wars 6211 Imperial Star Destroyer

Does what it says on the tin

It arrived in time. Had pieces missing , Lego took 2 weeks to deliver them, but we finished and looks very good.

My son took a few days to build it but he loved doing it

First off, this is a pretty big model. You don't get an awful lot of sets that are bigger than it, so make sure you have room to display it.It was a great build, although I did run into some problems with getting the plates to stay together. In fact, that's my only real criticism of this model - the ship is very flimsy in certain aspects. A lot of the plating of the Star Destroyer is extremely flimsy, despite being high quality Lego; and due to the top being detachable, the model as a whole can be quite easy to push around. The top part of the ship is quite loose, as it simply sits on top of the rest, attached by absolutely nothing.However, the set itself is very good. The great thing about this one is that it's a good enough size to just be a display model, but it also has enough minifig detail for you (or your kids) to be able to play with it. There are some nice minifigures here, and there are even different weapons in storage for the stormtroopers to use.I bought this when it came out for a mere £100, and for that price I can definitely recommend it. However, the price now is quite different, and you can buy the new Super Star Destroyer for around the same amount of money. I'd buy that one if you want a model; though this one's much better in terms of being played with.Overall, a good (though technically flawed) set that might not have a justifiable price tag.

Im an experienced lego builder due to having a 7 year old obssessed with all things related to Star Wars! I have read a review on here where someone has claimed it only took them 2 hours to construct this toy. Believe me, if you are doing it properly, it will take you much longer than that!Everyone knows that when you build a lego toy of this size, its not designed to stay in one piece but conveniently falls apart once you have lifted the item up. Therefore, the only solution is to glue the bricks together where appropriate, which of course takes time but ultimately alot more satisfying once you watch your child actually play with it!Of course, there will be the lego purists that will choke on their bricks reading that advice but at the end of the day, me and my son, dont get alot of pleasure watching the ship fall apart at the merest of touches. No matter how well the ship is built, it will come apart if you dont get the bostik out!

At last! The most iconic Imperial ship has made it to Lego form with all the features for the mini figures - the Star Destroyer.This kit contains hundreds of pieces and is a massive 60cm long, 38 cm wide and 22 cm tall when fully assembled and has loads of features.The command tower section has a device that allows the back to open and access to the bridge, which has room for two figures, and also detatches to allow access to the interior.Inside you have the forward launch bay with an escape pod that you can launch by the press of a button. Behind this is the main area which has a concealed gun rack for the Stormtroopers blasters, a hologram of the Emperor and a holoplatform for Vader to kneel on, Darth Vader's meditation chamber and this great mechanism which allows you to remove his helmet when he's inside.With great attention to detail this kit is brilliant but definately for the more experienced builder. The box says 9-14 years but the under 12s may have trouble with the hull plate assembly - a little fiddly and I needed and extra pair of hands at times. Assembly time is about 2 hours but well worth it.All this and you get 10 mini figures. There are 2 Royal Guards, 2 Stormtroopers, Darth Vader, Grand Moff Tarkin (for the first time ever!), an Imperial Officer, a holographic Emperor (kind of like the Han in carbonite) MSE-6 and R2-D5 (who is actually R2-Q2).All in all this is an absolute must for any Star Wars fan and anyone who just likes a great looking spaceship. Now, where did that Blockade Runner get to.....

Had a good sum of money to spend on myself and decided to go for the Lego Star Destroyer. The model looks detailed on the photos and there's a good part count to boost the Lego collection. Received the kit through the post on Thursday and had built it by that Sunday. It was fiddly at times but I was impressed by the way the designers had achieved the different angles on this model. The highlight for my daughter (8 years old) were the minifigs and working "laser cannons" on the sides. She has spent ages playing with the characters inside (with the top off). I thought it was MY present. All in all, it might say 9-14 on the box but I'm 42 and have loved making it. Wholeheartedly recommend it to all adults enjoying their second childhood.
