Toys and Games Reviews of LEGO Star Wars Rogue Shadow
Customer Review: Difficult to put together correctly
Summary: 2 Stars
I buy a lot of star wars Lego sets and many other sets as well. I have never had a problem putting them together, even ones in the hundreds of pieces until I tried this one with my son. My son is 7 and can put together some fairly difficult Lego products, but this was too much for him, and too much for me.
First of all, the good thing about it is that each set of Lego pieces is separated by numbered bags, 8 of them, and you can build them one by one and attach them as shown in the 2 book manual set. Yes, 2 books.
However, following the directions very carefully, I was still unable to get all of the connector pieces in exactly the right place and if you miss just one (and the picture led me to believe it was correct), then the entire thing just falls apart. After deconstructing both sides of the wings and working on the center part by moving some connector pieces, I was able to rebuild and stabalize it. There are a number of pieces that are under the moving wing covers that aren't shown well enough to get them right the first time, thus leaving you to take it all apart and start over.
So, after 6 hours of working on this until it's completion (with a number of breaks to keep my frame of mind in tact), this is all together, and actually quite stable. My son watched the break down of this over and over during building time, and knows that he cannot play with it like his other ships. I will certainly consult reviews on Lego sets that look to be too big to be fun (where fun might not be just playing with it, but the ease of actually building), and stay away from the ones that are this difficult. I would not recommend this for a child unless an adult has an entire afternoon into the evening to dedicate to it. As for Star Wars Lego sets in general - they are still great when completed and awesome to look at (or play with if you can).
