10030-1: Imperial Star Destroyer

Build the most awesome ship in the Star Wars universe!

Build the most awesome ship in the Star Wars universe! The Imperial Star Destroyer is the massively huge, incredibly powerful heart of the Emperor's fleet. Manned by the top crew in the Imperial Navy, the Star Destroyer was heavily armored and bristling with turbolasers and tractor beam projectors. One Star Destroyer alone was enough to strike fear into an entire star system! Now you can add the Imperial Navy's best-known and most powerful ship to your LEGO Star Wars collection! Measuring an impressive 37' by 23', this model dwarfs any LEGO Star Wars ship ever produced. This beautifully designed and one-of-a-kind collector's item comes with a special display stand and collectors card. Also includes an exclusive Rebel Blockade Runner Mini-Model, so you can recreate the opening scenes of Star Wars IV: A New Hope!

its a super giant

Posted by sudorum in United States on 26 January 2008

one of the best star wars ships lego has ever come out with, its what I call one of the super giants, or the really HUGE legos. Extremely detailed and realistic, it is put together using a magnet system. this set is very useful, unlike most people think, because they're too busy chewing on their DUPLO bricks to see its majesty. It not only is great for collectors of the UCS series, but even has a miniature rebel blockade runner, that can fit inside a little hole in the bottom of the model just like in the real movie. And if you need a couple hundred extra gray pieces, then set is also for you. I finished it in about a day and a half, and its easy to build if you separate the pieces by bag and you're prepared for stiff legs and a sore back. Possibly second greatest ucs model next to the millineum falcoln.

Not up to par

Posted by Snowraven67 on 21 January 2008

This is the ultimate and my dream come true. I wanted this kit more than any other. I was turned awsay by its enormous size. I didn't even balk at the outrageous cost, purchasing one before it was even released. I was overjoyed to see the detail and incredibly creative construction designs. Sadly, I was dismayed to discover that the bottom panels do not fit well and the magnets are FAR, FAR too weak to hold on the bottom panels. Again, I am forced to ask Lego, why the flimsy construction? It just seems beneath a company I have grown to love and trust to release this kit with such imperfections. I even understand that the nose sectiosn do not truly match up, due to the inevitable slight deformaties of mass produced plastic molded pieces, but for the bottom panels to fall off every time the door in my room closed, that was too much. I was forced to choose between retiring the set or (gasp) glueing it! It is a must for any Lego collector, but you will be let down by the finished product.

simply perfect

Posted by Skodyna in Czech Republic on 03 July 2007

First, I´d like you to know, I´m from Czech Republic, so I´m sorry for mistakes in this review.
ISD was really my dream. I was completely in love with this set. But there was one big obstruction- this set was (and still is) unavailable to buy in our small country. Of course, finally I got it, but you can´t imagine how hard it was. The construction lasted nearly 12 houres, but it was the best day in my life.
This set contains more than 3000 pieces and it consists of 3 parts- main body and 2 parts of a bridge. And the magnetic system have to be highlighted primarily.
I have to disagree with some other reviews. If you buy LEGO, especially this set, and you don´t like building, than you are very stupid (except of small kids, which better like running with their models in light speed in their living room). So if you aren´t good builder, why don´t you buy Duplo? There are many figs and it doesn´t take long to build it. On the contrary, I like the stricture about the mistakes in the manual. But I´m sure it isn´t a big problem for experienced builders.
This set is certainly one of the best LEGO models and definitely the biggest. I recommend it warmly (if you are able to raise the money, of course).
