This is the most awesome ship in the Star Wars universe. The Imperial Star Destroyer is the massively huge, incredibly powerful heart of the Emperor's fleet. Manned by the top crew in the Imperial Navy, the Star Destroyer was heavily armored and bristling with turbo lasers and tractor beam projectors. One Star Destroyer alone was enough to strike fear into an entire star system. Now you can add the Imperial Navy's best-known and most powerful ship to your LEGO Star Wars collection. Measuring an impressive 37" by 23", this model dwarfs any LEGO Star Wars ship ever produced. This beautifully designed and one-of-a-kind collector's item comes with a special display stand and collectors card. Also includes an exclusive Rebel Blockade Runner Mini-Model, so you can recreate the opening scenes of Star Wars IV: A New Hope.

I haven't built anything with legos since I was a boy some 20 years ago, and haven't really kept up with the advances in lego sets. I certainly didn't imagine that a set like this existed.
First off, this thing is big. You will need a 3X3 foot place to display this beast. However its size is one of the reasons this thing is as impressive as it is.
I only gave it three stars for durability because it is not a toy that can be played with. It is strictly for display. I have read some reviews that state the magnets used to hold it together are not strong enough, but that was not a problem with my set. It holds itself together very well. Just don't let your 3 year old son get a hold of it.
Of course its educational value is limited, but its Star Wars and Legos. I wasn't planning on learning molecular physics during the building process.
As for fun. WOW. Putting this together brought back so many memories of Legos from long ago that I was sad when I finished. That's not to say that I breezed through putting it together in an hour or two. It took many after work sessions to complete, and once I attached the big thrusters on the back, from then on, I had to make myself put it down to go to bed.
Like I said, if you are looking for something like this to display in your office or house, definately pick one up. However, you can get them on ebay MUCH cheaper than they are being sold here, and if you buy a previously built set, with a guarentee that all the pieces are present, then you won't have to worry about a faulty magnet problem.

Lego Star Destroyer is a great build. Make sure you have plenty of room and time to complete it. It took me 4 hours just to seperate the pieces into piles, and approx. another 25-30 to complete the build. This is a model, not a toy. It isn't meant to be played with or moved around much after assembly. The magnets hold the lower plates on just fine as long as you don't try to pick it up by anything other than the stand. I built it in our lower level family room and it is now displayed in our master bedroom. And yes, I did do the sound effects when I "flew" it from point A to point B.

This was a lot fo fun to put together, and has given my son a target to shoot for with his own Lego projects. The cost is a tad on the high side, but it possesses such an impact on those who see it, as well as the hours savoring construction.
There is another set out there now that is larger than this 3000ish set - the Millenium Falcon Ultimate series is topping 5000 pieces, but is also on the expensive side (more so that this set). It still does set the mind in gear.
I will echo that a hard surface is a must, as is a dedicated space. This is not a set to work on in fits and starts unless you live alone and don't mind having pieces strewn about. The number of profiles alone makes for necessary sorting and planning for most of us.
Overall, it was a great recapturing of the Lego experience, and it's opened the door to some other more complex display projects with my son, perhaps to begin a small collection. [If they could brign the price down a tad, this would make it easier, though...]

Can't really review the product itself, but wanted to let buyers know this EXACT model is available from Lego directly for $199 with free shipping. Even Lego's normal price is $50 less than Amazon's. Just wanted to let anyone know... oh, note that this info is as of 11/22/2008.
The star ratings are required to post, so I'm basing the ratings on past Lego experiences.
Once my son gets this next month for Christmas, I'll let you know how WE did with the assembly (yes, we do these big sets together! That's half the fun!)

Update 1/5/2009
It would appear that lego.com no longer has this item available, at least as of this update review, which is probably why the Amazon price has again jumped. Sorry.
As far as the product itself, a FANTASTIC Lego challenge for me and my son. He's learning patience as he prepares his work environment (as a good building environment is required for this large model), and that completion of a large project in one day is not required. We are very excited to enjoy this project together.
Another update once completed.

to all who may purchase this toy. This is by far the greatest display model ever built! but I recommend that for those actually looking for something to carry 50,000 storm troopers, as well as something that can make the jump to warp 3, I suggest you look else ware. This toy, though the replica of a military imperial vessal is nothing more than show. Its delightful purpose is only that of bragging and excess to the things you own.
All in all, this is a very fun product.
I encourage all with money to spend that you buy this particular toy.
