Ok so I am going to make this as short as possible but considering the material it might be impossible to do. I am sorry that some of the pictures are blurry or bright. My camera is not so great at taking closeup shots most of the time. So here goes.

Set impressions
From here on out this is my opinion of the build and the set in general.
Pros:
Fun build (This was a really fun build. I had a blast putting it together and time flew by during the building process.)
Some cool minifigs. (They did a really good job with Dengar and this is my first set with Bossk so I am excited about that too.)
Size (This set is massive. I had to clear off my Hoth diorama table to put this thing together.)
Modular build (I like that it was a modular build. Having to sort through all of those pieces just to find something would have been a complete nightmare.)
Midi scale Star Destroyer (This is a cool little ship. It really puts the SSD in scale.)
Cons:
Repetitive build (At times during the build you are making five or six of the same things. I think at one point you had to make twelve of something. This is offset slightly by the cool parts like the engines module.)
Colors (If you are looking at getting this set to build and then later cannibalize then you are stuck with a ton of light and dark grey pieces. You do get the occasional black, blue, yellow, and red pieces but they are generally specialty pieces.)
Size (I know I listed it as a pro but it could also be a con. This thing needs a very large place to sit. If you have limited space this set may not be for you.
Stability (This set is flimsy in places, mostly around the nose. When you have to put the top two side plates on, if you aren’t careful, you could knock something loose like I did.)
Playability (This set has almost no playability. I know it isn’t a play set, it is a collector set, but it is still a nice bonus. The limited playability you do get out of it is the bridge scene from the fifth (actually 2nd) movie where Vader hires the bounty hunters to track down the Millennium Falcon.
Cost (This one is completely up to who is buying the set. If you love Star Wars and have the money I would say that this set is worth it. However, if you just want it purely to build and then do whatever you want with it afterwards then you are better spending that money somewhere else.)
Ok that’s it. If I missed anything please let me know. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
