 
Lego Star Wars Death Star II
Rating:  -
Probably the most challenging Lego set I've put together. Many have complained about its durability during construction and while I did have several challenges, was able to get it together with only minor difficulties. Once the first half of it is complete (the "incomplete half", I highly recommend moving it wherever it will eventually end up, complete the final steps and finally attach everything to it. It will be difficult to move once it is complete.
My only two complaints are that the stage where you are to attach both portions of the incomplete half are difficult (I recommend super glue, since I found that until I got them both on, either of them fell off easily) and that I was shorted a bag of pieces and had to get replacements online.
Overall a challenging kit, but definitely worthwhile. One final bit of advice-during one of the first steps you attach the "steering wheel"-looking thing to the base. Make sure no prongs of this are covered by the support, or you will have to work backwards to uncover them.

Santa brought this behemoth for our 8 year old this year. Translation- Dad spent 5 days at the dining room table with every bowl in the house being used to sort Lego's.
This kit is one of the older style kits. The bags aren't numbered or labeled with any sort of key. All 2000+ pieces needed to be sorted out for building ease.
When building the Death Star, have boxes handy to prop the model up. You build it one half at a time. (left-right)It tips over whenever you let go.
Our son loves the model, and was able to help with the building process, but it's only a matter of time and Nerf darts before it's back to square one.

I bought my 7 year old son the Death Star for Christmas. I was a little worried because I had read some of the reviews, but figured since he had built all of the other star wars lego's ships we would give it a try. I am so glad we did. It took him 2 1/2 weeks, but he finally finished it. It is something he accomplished all by himself and we couldn't be prouder!!!! It took alot of patience and was not easy. But if a 7 year old can do it so can you!!!!!

Bought this for my son for Christmas. What a great time he had putting it together....Every LEGO lovers dream kit!! Very cool. It holds together well without having to reinforce with glue like the other larger kits do.

The Lego is fun to put together and takes a long time. But when it is all together it is VERY flimsy because the base isn't very large. I would recommend getting some extra black and gray Legos and making the base larger for better support.
