Star Wars + Legos = Fun! As with all legos, they are fragile when asssembled and can be complicated during assembly. There more for the joy of building and looking at afterward. Imagination required for full enjoyment! Star Wars sets are the best.
Get ready to blast off into space I got this Lego ship for my 5-1/2 year old son who loves star wars and although he is great at building things this one did require a little help from an adult to put together. It was a bit time consuming but it was fun to put it together with my son. The instructions for building the ship were managable and this toy will definately grow with him. He does fly it around the room but otherwise lets it sit on his dresser for observation. The legos themselves are durable but sometimes the pieces can come apart so he's fairly careful with it and doesn't use it for rough play...it would take too long to put back together.
LEGO TIE FIGHTER Review First of all, this set is NOT ACCURATE TO THE FILM. In Return of the Jedi, which is the first time that this ship appears, it's color scheme is mostly black, with a grey frame. the color scheme on the LEGO version however, is mostly black, with a blue frame. All you've got to do, is replace all of the blue pieces, with grey pieces, and it's pretty accurate. Also, the little red pieces on the window, should not be there, so I took them off. I replaced most of the dark grey pieces with light grey pieces, to match the film. So like I said, not accurate to the film, but pretty darn cool. A lot of people talk about it taking them a long time to build LEGO sets. This set took me about five to seven minutes. Four stars...
Too Fragile for child play The detail on this model is excellent and it has all of the features you would expect on a lego model. Unlike other sets this one is very fragile so stick to the age on the box, your younger child will break it apart with every touch. And that really is my only gripe, it is just not a play toy, this is more of a display item so keep that in mind when making your purchase. The lego's from this model have since been incorporated into the general pile becaue the Intercepter was never fun for my son to play with.
Fun for a 6 year-old My 6-year old go this for Christmas and has had a great time playing with it. He needed a lot of help putting it together but has managed to do all repairs on his own!
