VERY Hard to Build
First off, this Lego set is an extremely hard build. After it is built...you do NOT ply with it. It is simple for show. You might as well just find an ORIGINAL one like this, keep it in the box, and triple your money. I received two for my birthday from two separate people when they were around $300 a piece. I kept one sealed. VERY good investment it seems :). I've had a $1300 offer so far!

Nice set, and the magnets DO hold the set together
This is a great set. I have it myself, and the person who said the magnets will not keep the set together is just totally wrong about that. It can be a little tricky. It is the only Lego set I have ever seen that uses magnets to keep some of the set together, so it is a different way of constructing a lego set, but it does work if you follow the instructions and you also have to make sure you are not trying to attach the positive side of the magnet to the positive side of another magnet or the negative side to a negative side.This is simple physics, and you can just turn the magnets around if you find you are accidently are trying to attach matching sides that repel instead of attract each other.This set was made with two different grays. When if first came out, it was made with the old gray. Later on, Lego made the remaining sets with the bluish gray. Peeron () has a piece list for this set showing the pieces for the old gray set, but if you buy one of these sets and find that your gray bricks are just a slightly different gray, don't worry, it's not a blunder on the sellers part. It's more of a blunder on Peeron's part for not listing the piece list for both sets or may you could say it's Lego's fault for not being consistant with the color scheme for one Lego set.Anyway, the magnets are not a problem as one reviewer would have you believe, and overall, it's a nice set, and pretty impressive. I thought the Super Star Destroyer set would be even more impressive, but it has almost exactly the same number of pieces ( you would except it to have more, since it is a SUPER Star Destroy, and since it did also cost about $100.00 more new, than this set ), and it is only a couple inches longer but this set is a lot taller, so this set even looks bigger than the SUPER Star Destroyer, which doesn't make sense.Also, the SUPER Star Destroyer comes with a few mini figures. I know a lot of people go gaga over mini figures, but they really don't go with the SUPER Star Destroyer. They wont fit inside the SUPER Star Destroyer, even though Lego would have you believe that they will, and the mini figures just make the Super Star Destroyer look a hell of a lot smaller than a Super Star destroyer should look.LEGO Star Destroyer

Son LOVES this, and is proving a great challenge for him!
Can't really review the product itself, but wanted to let buyers know this EXACT model is available from Lego directly for $199 with free shipping. Even Lego's normal price is $50 less than Amazon's. Just wanted to let anyone know... oh, note that this info is as of 11/22/2008.The star ratings are required to post, so I'm basing the ratings on past Lego experiences.Once my son gets this next month for Christmas, I'll let you know how WE did with the assembly (yes, we do these big sets together! That's half the fun!)-----------------------------------------Update 1/5/2009It would appear that lego.com no longer has this item available, at least as of this update review, which is probably why the Amazon price has again jumped. Sorry.As far as the product itself, a FANTASTIC Lego challenge for me and my son. He's learning patience as he prepares his work environment (as a good building environment is required for this large model), and that completion of a large project in one day is not required. We are very excited to enjoy this project together.Another update once completed.

The upgraded version is far less fragile
This is a great looking set once finished and is somewhat fun to built, but the way they designed the "wings" to be held on is horrible. This set was the first time in my life where I ended up buying model glue. I used it to attach the magnet holders to the plates and also a few other areas to help keep the plates, magnets and the pieces they attach to to stay in place. I'm very thankful they upgraded this set in 2019. One thing they fixed is how the "wings" attach and it's a world of a difference.
