First, is it expensive? Yes, it really is. However, you get nearly 4,000 Lego bricks, including the best mini-fig collection ever. Over 100 parts just in mini-figs, to the best of my knowledge that has never been done before.
You also get a set that allows you to replay every scene from the movies that was on the Death Star. Fun to build, fun to play with, great for both kids and adults.
Much better than the display models, like 10221 Super Star Destroyer, which is nice and all, but it is just a display, it doesn't really do anything. This set, well, talk about play options!
As for what is in the box:
First, the bags of Lego ARE numbered, so you don't have to open them all at once, it is a very straight forward build that even a 10 year old could do just fine because of the numbered bags. The bags are placed inside white boxes, numbered 1 to 4, open them in order of course.
The manual is very nice, spiral bound, heavy duty printing, it is very high quality, looks like a $20 book all to itself. Very large and heavy, it shows the quality of the item from the first minute you pick it up.
The Lego bricks are of course perfect as always, very nicely done. You get lots of different elements including bricks, flats, plates, and various colors too, however there is by design a lot of gray in the floor plates.
There is some repetition in the build in the framework, however since you build it from the ground up and since the 4 "sides" are not completely the same, there is almost no 2x and 4x builds, there is just enough different to keep it interesting.
If you're a Lego fan, young or old, buy this set, it is worth every penny!!!
Note: for future reference, yes this set was $399 when it was sold by Lego, however as happens with all sets that Lego discontinues, the price will go up over time. At the time I'm typing this, 10/10/2011, Lego still sells this on their web site, but it is out of stock here at Amazon and most other web sites like TRU. Buy it before it ends up like 10179 Millennium Falcon did at almost $2,000.
The detail in the set is amazing. I've been a Star Wars fan for 35 years, and playing with and collecting the toys for just as long, and I don't think I've ever seen any toy with this amount of scope and action features, and of course the shear number of mini-figs that come along with this. Seriously, if there was anything that was seen in the Star Wars movies, they somehow managed to cram it all into one very spiffy looking, albeit huge, toy. For example, there's a little blue box on wheels that you assemble with the mini-figs. At first I thought it was another droid, but it opens up to reveal a little gun like thing and some computer equipment. It took me a while to figure out it was supposed to be the blue box the imperials were bringing aboard the Millennium Falcon to scan for life forms. If they include that one little prop, you can imagine how much else they threw in.
Everything looks exactly like it does in the movies. The Emperor's throne room is especially cool looking and spacious. The placement of some of the rooms is a bit strange however, like the room where Luke and Leia swing across the broken bridge leads directly to the tractor beam room which in turn leads to no other room. Still, again, they included so much stuff, only a die-hard fan would notice.
A few, very minor complaints, which should in no way take away from my overall rating. These are just tiny things.
One. The big round laser cannon/ crater thing was a bit of a pain to put together. At one point, one of the hinge pieces unsnapped, and after that, I was unable to hinge the joint together again. I ended up having to glue it in place, which I consider ruining the model, but it looks good when together.
Also, I find the Lego peoples choice for some of the mini-figs to be a bit odd. They could have included an imperial officer or two. The Death Star has a meeting room with seven chairs, but no officers to have a meeting with. Also too many unnecessary droids that weren't in the movies. There's a black R2-D2 and C-3PO, but the silver Death Star droid, that was featured in the old Kenner line of toys is no where to be seen, and would have made a much more logical choice. Again, these are just minor grievances from a long time SW fan. The casual collector will probably never notice.
In conclusion a very awesome model though it might take some time to build. Maybe not for the very young, but I've read several reviews of kids putting it together by themselves, and have nothing but respect for that. I'm 40 years old and it took me little over a week to put together, working on it a little bit each day, so hats off to anyone who's up to the challenge. It was such a joy to put together.
We started getting ready for our day and I told him now he could open the last gift under the tree. He opened it up and it was a Lego sorting box. He was thankful, but when I told him, "I thought you're going to need it for this." and I brought the BIG box out of the other room. He was speechless! One of those priceless moments!
Now that he has it open, it is a VERY impressive Lego set with 24 "little men" as they're called in our house. There are not just bags of Legos but boxes of Legos at it is such a large set with over 3,800 pieces. The directions are in a spiral bound book, which could make the task of putting the set together look daunting, but he's loving it. I'm loving that here it is mid-January and he's still putting it together.
It was well worth the price, not only to see a happy and grateful child, but because this Lego set has taken more than a couple of days to build. On top of that, it's only gone up in price over the years, so one could consider it an investment. The best part of it all, this set builds so much more than an Impressive Lego Set. It also builds patience, care and problem solving. Now that's a priceless gift!

El montaje de la Estrella nos llevó varias semanas a mi mujer y a mí (a ratitos casi todas las noches) y disfrutamos como enanos con todos los detalles que tiene. Ahora mismo la tengo en un aparador y no hay día que mi niño de dos años y medio no me pida jugar con la "nave". Se lo pasa pipa subiendo y bajando el ascensor, abriendo y cerrando las puertas correderas. Sacando a la Princesa Leia de la cárcel y poniéndole el pelo al soldado imperial ;-). Disparando el cañón, moviendo el monstruo del vertedero por todas las dependencias. Preguntándome dónde está R2 y C3 y si Darth Vader es malo.
Es un auténtico vicio el montar y luego jugar con la Estrella de la Muerte.
En definitiva, un maravilloso juguete que hace las delicias de todo aquel que lo ve.
