Imperial Star Destroyer Reviews
“Overall, I like this set. The build is really good, and playability is nice, especially with the synchronized turbolasers. The minifigure selection is good (I like Vader and the stormtroopers) but could be improved in terms of quantity – one or more named characters wouldn't... More hurt. The price is also a little high, especially in the U.S. Plus it comes with a free poster – what's not to like? Apparently LEGO likes this set as well, since 75190 First Order Star Destroyer uses almost the exact same template!”

“From the outside the model is just about perfect and there are some nice touches inside which provide some play value. If you are a fan of the Imperial Star Destroyer then this is naturally going to be a must-have, and on sale I think it should be one for every fan of the... More Original Trilogy.”
