Everyone who enjoys the six Star Wars movies will love the Lego Star Wars Death Star. It is a complete replica of the one you saw in the movie and has a plethora of features available. You will find multiple decks, a control room, detention blocks, turbo-blasters, a hangar bay, a firing laser canon, and various other components. Plus, your child will be able to re-enact many of the events that took place thanks to the 24 miniature figures that are included. This involves the entire case; Luke Skywalker, Hans Solo, the Princess, Chewie, Vader and large amount of Stormtroopers and the Emperor’s royal guards. Oh yea, and you even get the mouse droid.
Advantages
Anyone in between the ages of 12 to 20 will enjoy the Lego Star Wars Death Star. Even though younger children might have seen the movies, they would get frustrated trying to put together something that has 3,803 pieces. However, the age range we’ve provided is perfect for those who want to endure a great project. It’s something the whole family can work on and enjoy together. Then again, you may just want something that will keep an older child occupied, which this will definitely fit that criteria. There are plenty of instructions to read, sorting pieces and assembling correctly that it could take days to complete. However, the finished product is one that is very detailed to the point where you might think its right out of the movies. Okay, it’s still a “toy” version, but you will definitely be surprised. Even the Death Star’s super laser is present to create your own real life battles.
Disadvantages
Due to the vast amount of small pieces that come with the Lego Star Wars Death Star, it is considered a choking hazard for children under the age of 3. You will also have to consider the cost, which is much more than you would expect if you’re not an avid collector. It’s also important to understand how your child works in everyday life. If he or she loses interest in something easy, chances are they won’t complete the project on their own. This is where your supervision comes in because of the complicated parts and instructions. This is why the age range of 12-20 makes more sense.
