Recommendation: meh 82.5 / 100 by Brickdoctor

This set looks every bit the iconic ship it represents, but should you decide to part it out, you shouldn't be disappointed. It does everything you could ask for out of this type of set.

Recommendation: meh 4 / 5 by starstreak

I think this would make a great set if you love collecting Star Wars. It's not expensive, and if you're a AFOL (Adult Fan Of Lego) it doesn't look like a kids toy. I would be proud to display it on my work desk.

I love this set. It looks fantastic. As I recall, it was a fun one to put together. I have a substantial number of sets on display, and this is definitely one of my favorites. The midi-scale Millennium Falcon is also great. Since I got them, I've wished they would do more at this scale. Perhaps other ships don't lend themselves so well to it.

From Bricks To Bothans

Recommendation: meh 7.3 / 10 by Casey "cas" Scott

I see a superb representation of the Imperial Star Destroyer that isn't $300+. It's easy to display nearly anywhere and looks nice among other Original Trilogy sets. It's a bit less visually interesting than the Midi Falcon since it's a mass of gray and only gray and that's where I'm conflicted on the $40 price tag. It's too plain and unexciting as a LEGO set to justify a full price purchase if it can be avoided, even at 9 cents per part.

Recommendation: no 5 / 10 by Fallenangel

Almost no play features with this ship. The midi Falcon had two rotating quadlaser cannons; this set has the six guns and not really anything else. I guess if you wanted to you could somehow swoosh the set without popping off the rear section. The best use for this is probably setting it up for a perspective shot with the UCS Tantive IV (Aftter all, the actual studio model of the Devastator was half the size of the Tantive IV studio model).
