Amazon.com Product Description
Battle the forces of the Rebellion wherever they hide with the Star Wars Imperial Landing craft. Equipped with twin blaster cannons, bombs, a troop compartment, and firing rockets, this craft will prepare you to face the master of evil. With two cannons that really shoot and levers that pop out bombs, this Lego set provides hours of amusement for junior Stormtroopers, ages 8 through 12. Let the Force be with You
Like the Imperial Craft shown in the movies, this airship's wings fold up at the twist of a dial. A pilot, two sandtroopers, and two stormtrooper mini-figures with blasters come included. All of the mini-figures fit into this craft's troop department. With this quality craft there is no limit to the space adventures the child can embark on. With 471 pieces, the set offers a fun-filled building project for both children and their parents. Clear instructions (included) make the construction process easier and clean-up is a breeze by folding up the wings and putting the mini-figures into the troop department. This retro Star Wars Lego set offers an experience that can be enjoyed by children and their parents. Children are captivated by the cannons and bombs, while parents feel nostalgia for the movies. Like many LEGO products, the set is both easy to assemble and durable. Other Lego Star Wars sets are available should the Rebellion get out of control. Overall, this set is a great value for the years of amusement it provides. (But be careful, the Imperial should not be aimed at the eyes or face and it is not intended for children under three years old. What's in the Box
471 pieces, pilot, 2 sandtroopers, and 2 stormtrooper mini-figures with blasters.

A great set, but could be frustrating for youngsters. August 12, 2008
As an adult collector, this is my favorite set so far - but there were some strange design choices. Building it was much trickier and more delicate than any set I can remember, so if you're buying it for someone under 10 make sure an adult is there to help them out. One disappointing thing I've never seen before was sloppy directions: pieces appearing out of nowhere in one step that are added in the next, additions to the back of the model where you can't see exactly where to place the pieces, and there was even an extra page stuck in the box with a revision to one of the steps. I managed to get it all together, but younger folks will probably throw this set through the window in frustration at the poor directions.
There are a few places where parts can be easily broken off or the gears can jam up while playing with it as well. As a result I would think this is more aimed at the adults - but in that case, why did they load it up with cool kid-stuff like shooting cannons, dropping bombs, etc? It sort of strikes a balance between realistic collector's set and kids' play toy, but doesn't really hit either mark.
That said, even for all its warts it's a fantastic set when finally built. The gearing for the wings is a thing of beauty, and many of the pieces are generic enough that you can build plenty of new creations out of this set.
One minor thing I don't understand is why they left the top doors for the crew compartment separate - they could have joined them together on each side with one more piece and made the whole model much more sturdy. As it is all six pieces flop about individually. It's really odd.
 Good buy! June 4, 2008
I'm 10 years old. It's a little tricky to build. I wouldn't recommend it for littler kids. It was a bit hard for me to build, but I was able to do it by myself. The capes are hard to put on the Storm Troopers. It's really fun to play with now that it's built.
whatch the gears!!!!!!!!!!!! May 27, 2008
when I started building this set I missed three steps: one was conecting the bombs together, second was forgetting the most critical gear, third was missing something on the wing. also today I found that where the gears attatch to the thrusters wouldn't attatch, but I fixed it easily.
I actually took out almost all the midlle, and remodeled it making the Imperial Shuttle!!!!!!!!!!
Overall pretty good, nice rare commander minifigs!
Christmas gift for my son January 12, 2008

This was one of the few things my 12 yr old son asked for. He has thoroughly enjoyed setting it up and playing strategy games with it and his other legos. He loves working with his hands and it keeps him away from the video games.
Awesome Kit January 8, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My son received this as a Christmas present. It is his first regular lego kit. Up until now he has been using the larger blocks.
We had a great time putting it together. It is a little tricky and I ended up doing a lot of the work. He is 4 and it was still a little difficult for him to be patient and work through the instructions.
As we finished each component he got more and more excited. When it was done he just loved it. Of course it wasn't long before he started 'breaking' it. I put it together a few times, then we just tore it apart.
Then we started the real fun of creating our own ships and other things. His birthday isn't far away and he is already asking for more lego kits. This is a really great toy.
Oh - and I rated this well on education too because it involves some really cool stuff with gears and levers. We took the time to look at how it went together and why it worked. Very neat stuff. Even with all the pieces lego didn't have when I was a kid and the movie theme, this is still great for creative play.

WHO IS BETTER? A STORMTROOPER OR A CLONETROOPER?
Title says all. I think its a clone trooper because they are better at aiming, are more intelligent, help their injured companions, are independent, can work together, and have better armour. I know they seem better because they were only CGI (but didn't seem like it) and that the stormtroopers were older, and from the original Star Wars movies, I still like clones.
