LEGO Star Wars Death Star 75159 Death Star 4016 Parts

Product Information

is a clear homage to a classic Kenner Star Wars playset, combining play into a model that is still the Death Star at heart. It makes a great mini model that you can display in your house or office to show your love for LEGO Star Wars, and has a clever, detailed design that will please most Star Wars fans. There is also a ladder leading up to a control area with some computer screens, and a gear which turns a device.

I like most of the changes, but all the colorful Technic pieces when 10188 had mostly monochromatic ones is definitely a step back. For both play and display, the cantina includes several mini-scenes from the movie that you can relive yourself. Conversely, the Dianoga had to be put directly in the trash compactor in 10188 and took up most of the space. This set was released to substantial criticism, with several LEGO reviewers and fans claiming it was one of the worst ever due to the fact that it is almost the exact same as the older 10188 Death Star with only a small minifigure selection update. This was intended to be the ultimate Death Star and for many players and collectors alike it really knocked it out of the park.After the completion of the first Death Star, Darth Vader captured Princess Leia and questioned her regarding the secret Death Star plans he believed she had in her possession. There are three boxes and some arrows pointing towards another room, as well as the hole for the elevator. When I compare it to the Falcon build, I spent hours on a bunch of Technic infrastructure that never got seen from the outside which left me feeling like I wasn’t making progress. The box has a vertical layout, similar to the Star Wars helmet busts sets, with an all-black design and an 18+ age rating. When I saw the Imperial Trooper figure from the first LEGO Death Star for the first time, I got the feeling that his helmet wasn’t done properly.

The use of the sticker and along with the placement of the bricks does a good job of creating the illusion of depth.Thanks for reading this review, and hope you enjoyed this preview of the most substantial 2023 May the 4th GWP! You did seem to have better luck (or maybe worse, depending on how you look at it) with the leftover pieces: I am still wondering where a 1x10 dark bley plate and a 1x4 light bley plate have to go. Since I build at my desk and I have a computer with a large monitor, I used the electronic version of the manual. This fantastic set also includes 23 iconic minifigures and 2 Droids to ensure hours of Star Wars battle fun.

The super weapon is perhaps an overused trope of the science fiction genre that Star Wars really paved the way for, but it's hard to deny the iconic silhouette of the terrifying Death Star. As you can see, they only differ by colour of hands and cape (the right one has spongy stretchable fabric cape). While it may not come with a squad, it still has two exclusive pilots and the requisite General Veers. Tubing, tiles, and Technic all add to the greebling, with the option to change the radar dish for either the original or sequel trilogy.As I mentioned before, almost all capes are now made from spongy material, and that’s the case here too. Who can forget the opening of A New Hope, when the Tantive IV is swallowed up in the shadow of a Star Destroyer?

It is highly likely that we are getting another LEGO Death Star just that I’m feeling that the 11K piece count may be attached to another upcoming set. The nice thing is that I could spend an hour here and there and make good progress because in that amount of time I could finish little sections of the overall model.I wholeheartedly agree with you about the problems with the instructions: much too dark to properly see the difference between several colors.
