Honey, Tonight I’m Busy With My Lego Star Destroyer
My wildest and most fantastic dreams as a teenager came true, when I saw the beautifully designed Lego Star Destroyer set.
Those sweet memories with me waiting in front of the cinema, with my Jedi laser sword and constantly chasing after Star Wars souvenirs are ready to move on to a different level, by purchasing this unique and impressive Lego model, called “Star Destroyer”.
Well, being the captain of one of the most powerful and beautiful ships within Emperor’s fleet, it’s just one click away.
Some Important Features of Lego Star Destroyer
This game called Star Destroyer is the very heart of the Emperor’s fleet, the one that can make a difference in the middle of the fearful Star Wars. The entire star system will tremble seeing this massive and complex structure.
The product weights 19 pounds, measures 37 by 23 inches, is over 3′ long and, imagine that, it has 3,104 pieces.
This exquisite Ultimate Collector Series is armored and bristled with many tractor beam projectors and turbo lasers.
This LEGO Destroyer is huge and surpasses any LEGO Star Wars ship that has ever been produced, not to mention that this unique collectors item is “endowed” with a special display stand and collectors card.
On top of all, this particular Star Destroyer includes an exclusive small model of the “Rebel Blockade Runner”.
This way, you will have the chance of recreating the opening scenes in the fourth part of Star Wars: A New Hope.
The manufacturer recommends this item to be used from the age of 14.
Yes, that works for me, too!
I would also add that such project might require team work and some spare time (even days) but we can guarantee you will spend many moments of pure pleasure and fun, either by yourself or together with your family and friends.
Advantages and Drawbacks of Lego Star Destroyer
There is no doubt that this game represents Imperial Navys most powerful and most valuable ship that you can add to your Lego Star Wars collection.
Its size is definitely a good reason to buy it. We can also mention its complexity and brain training value.
Performing such a laborious and large construction work gives you the satisfaction of making a masterpiece of Lego world.
Building up one of the timeless icons of a generation might help you share precious moments with your children and create bonds you will never forget.
Last but not least, add to your collector’s pride, by owning and displaying a refined, sophisticated and amazing classical game of Lego model in your office or at home.
Some clients complained about the magnets and some part attachments supporting the bottom panels. In their opinion, the magnets were not powerful enough.
However, this was not an issue from others’ point of view.
We got another perspective as regards durability and handling the product at the end of construction process, some customers categorizing Lego Star Destroyer as an exhibition piece and not something to be played with, so extra care is needed.
Yes, they are right, but that is why 14 years is the minimum recommended age. This kind of Lego constructions are made for the fun of making them, watching the building process and the satisfaction of seeing your work done.
Another minor detail is that, despite the fact the product is new, its box is a bit damaged from sitting on a shelf while storing. There’s no loss here. Who cares about the package when you get the chance to add such a valuable piece to your Star Wars collection?

Other customers didn’t consider this a major problem, declaring that their set was quite OK.
Some even advised upon the proper surface or place to build it and conclude that a table (a card table or some other big tables) is the most suitable. Other clients with strategic thinking and organizational skills give a tactical approach, recommending that two people should work on this together. They explained their theory about displaying the parts, arranging them by type and size before starting the construction and, at the end, sharing a hint, namely the use of “clear baggies”.

LEGO Death Star 2 Review
For the nostalgic ones it was a way of turning back in time.
Somehow, this Lego game caused a reverse process in comparison with George Lucas’s vision and his imagination exercise of travelling in the future.
My Final Word
Some lyrics of Lesley Gore’s well-known song keep hopping through my mind and it goes like this:
“It’s my party and I play with my…Star Destroyer Lego game if I want to, play if I want too…
You would play too if Star Destroyer Lego game would be given to you.”
Well, this is the way I intend to spend the next few hours, that is why I will tell my wife: “Honey, Tonight I’m Busy With My Lego Star Destroyer.”
