Toys and Games Reviews of LEGO Star Wars Death Star (10188)
Customer Review: Excellent for kids and parents alike (UPDATED 11/14/10)
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the Lego Death Star for my son for his 14th birthday six months ago. He put it together with my daughter and me, and since then the kids have spent many hours playing with it. Even while we were building, they would stop to play as we completed each room. This set is worth the price alone just for the unlimited play value. The number of mini figures, "machines", and other working parts in the set is also impressive. Every room has something that moves and there is an elevator in the middle of the Death Star that covers three floors. Even the conference room (in which Darth Vader famously strangles his officer) has individually spinning chairs. You can literally recreate every Death Star scene from the movies using this set.
The list of mini figures is as follows: ANH Luke, ROTJ Luke, Stormtrooper Luke, Han Solo, Stormtrooper Solo, C-3P0, R2-D2, R2-Q5, Princess Leia, Obi-Wan, Chewbacca, Tarkin, Darth Vader, the Emperor, Royal Guards, Stormtroopers, and four droids including the interrogation droid from ANH and a rolling mouse droid.
As to the particulars of the Legos themselves: it took three of us about four solid days to build this set. Part of that time was sorting the many pieces (our bags did come numbered unlike a couple other reviewers have reported) and part of it was play breaks as mentioned above. One of the machines took us two hours to build as we put it together slightly wrong the first time and had to do it all over. Out of over 3800 pieces we were missing one part, which we were able to cannibalize from one of my son's unbuilt Knight's Kingdom sets. Not too bad! The super laser is very fragile and we ended up swapping out one of the big disks for a different one from our Lego collection as it seemed to work to hold it together better. Other than that we had no real issues and the majority of the Death Star is surprisingly solid considering its size and the number of pieces involved.
All in all, I would highly recommend this set to Star Wars fans and Lego fans alike.
UPDATE November 14, 2010
It has now been eleven months since we bought this item and it's still in great condition. For the most part it has held together remarkably well through hours of play. The superlaser continues to be fragile. The "laser beams" are now on permanent hiatus unless a planet needs destroying, due to the fact that our cat would knock them off with his tail every time he walked past the Death Star. My kids have discovered that because the tippity top of the Death Star has exposed Lego studs, they can stand a character or a small structure on there, which they think is totally awesome. They also take glee in tossing random Lego parts into the trash compactor room to make it look more authentically "trashy". The extra helmets and guns provided were a big hit for a while, and the conference room with its table and spinning chairs remains a favorite. I find the Star Wars Legos have been a great way for me to connect with my kids because, let's face it, 38 year old moms don't know much about Pokemon or iCarly. I recommend bringing out the Lego Death Star every time you watch Star Wars for double the fun!
