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!

The Force is strong is this one.

The set is the biggest I've ever owned after taking a hiatus from Lego for a long time. This set was a gift for Christmas of 2007. I've only fully assembled it twice. The build is fairly complicated and I recommend doing both the triangle frame pieces at the same time. Getting a significant other to do the other piece is a plus. Be patient during the 32 detail sections..

Instead of leaving it as a show piece for extended periods, I purchased a very large tool box to organize the pieces. There are so many pieces that a single box wouldn't fit it! As a showpiece, it holds together fairly well. For transporting, the top two bridge sections can be removed and the 'frame' of the ship makes for a good handle. It's not really meant to be a mobile Lego and I wouldn't want it to be either seeing how much it weights.

I hope you like gray pieces, because you'll get lots of them. This isn't really a bad thing, but as a first set, you might have to be a bit creative when making your own creations. I've done gray houses and train stations, even gray radio towers and walking robots! It's all very gray.

Overall, I love the set. I wish I could have afforded the Falcon (or rather, my spouse could afford it..), but the Star Destroyer is becoming a real collector's item now and I don't regret at all owning it. I'm back in the Lego scene now and I can't wait to build more things.

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.
