Recommendation: no 73 / 100 by Brickdoctor

Overall, it does what you'd expect, though with this craft that's really just the rotating things and the escape pods. As I said above, I really think it would've worked better had TLG replaced the office with a corridor, because then they could include some antagonists and we could play out more of the scenes from the movie. Swooshing is pretty good, though this is not a model you'd want to swoosh without using two hands, and you can't really grip it any way other than with your hands on the bottom supporting it.

An absolutely fantastic Star Wars set. Just one of the most distinctive display pieces you can have. Easily recognizable. A fun flawless build, and recreates not only one of the most iconic scenes of Star Wars but those opening moments that changed a billion nerds lives forever. I don't think I have anything bad to say about this one. The figure selection while a little lower than I like for the price is near perfect with a nice exclusive Captain Antiles. The set is solid. The only minor things it really wants for are the more modern additions to similar ships such as the Republic Cruiser's of Landing Gear and a lifting handle. But those details aside you could not ask for more. well Greeblied and detailed, I think I actually like this version better than the UCS Tantive IV. (No annoying rubber bands.)
