Advantages: It looks amazing, it's packed with features and it comes with lots of very cool Lego Mini Figs !!!

Disadvantages: Quite expensive and this set also needs quite a lot of room for it to be displayed.

The Lego Star Wars Collector Series Death Star is an amazing set ... not only does it look fantastic but it provides endless opportunities for recreating your favourite scenes from the Original Star Wars Trilogy (Episodes 4 to 6). You can rescue Princess Leia, disable the Death Star's Tractor Beam, escape from the Trash Compactor and explore the Control Room. You can even recreate the final duel between Luke and Darth Vader in the Emperor's Throne Room.

The set is massive ... and sits on an impressive rotating base. The Death Star itself is packed with rooms, zones and hidden features ... including it's very own hangar bay with mini Tie Fighter !!!

This set also contains an impressive 24 Lego mini figures INCLUDING Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Obi-Wan Kenobi, C-3PO, R2-D2, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight), Darth Vader, Grand Moff Tarkin, Emperor Palpatine, 2 Stormtroopers, 2 Emperor's Royal Guards, R2-Q5, and a mouse droid !!!

There are also 6 new and exclusive mini figures only found in this set:

Luke Skywalker (Stormtrooper outfit)
Han Solo (Stormtrooper outfit)
Assassin Droid
Interrogation Droid
Death Star Droid
Death Star Trooper

This is a must have set for all Star Wars fans ... costly YES but the fact that it has so many play and display possibilites (plus the large number of mini figs) makes this good value for money (when compared to some of the other larger Star Wars Lego sets). Also unlike many of the Star Wars Lego Vehicles this set is actually well designed for displaying ... a sturdy base allows you to rotate the entire Death Star to reveal all the areas and details.

It looks amazing, it is huge ... and it is a lot of fun too !!!

Enjoy !!!
