Great Lego Set
My son is a Lego fanatic and a Star Wars fanatic! This was a huge hit with him!


A bit disappointing
I was disapointed. Though the shuttle has gear opening doors,it has space for only two minifigures(pilot in front and Nute Gunray in back.). Gunray has a little chair that goes in and out of the shuttle. That and the gear doors are the only cool features in the entire set. Kind of a rip off if you ask me.


10 year old loved it!
My 10 year old loved this lego set. The directions are easy to follow, my son did NOT have to ask for help. He put the shuttle together, on his own, within an hour. It has a sliding rear door, which was a big hit. It comes with 4 men, which is nice, as some of the sets only have 2 men. This is a fun lego set and a great price for what you get.


great kit for the price!
My 5 year old son loved it. He's been looking at for several months now. He's really into legos and star wars and this is 10 lego kit that he has put together, so he was able to do 95% of it himself. I just checked on it every once in a while to make sure it was going well. He is having a good time playing with it and it has stayed together relatively well while it is "flying" through the house.


Needs adult help for the younger child
I got it for our grandson who is a bright six year hold. He loved the concept but needed our help in putting it together.
Too many small pieces!!
We are missing quite few pieces which makes the building very frustrating.
As far as the Amazon service I would give it the highest rating.

Good set, weak bottom
My son had a great time building this. It is the best lego set we have in terms of how much fun he had building it and playing with it. The base is just a little too weak for the size of the toy. Other than that it is a great product.


Star Wars Sandcrawler
My son loves this Lego set. He is mildly autistic and was able to put this together,mostly by himself, in 2 days. He is still playing with it. Next on the list is the Death Star!:)


It's good not only Star Wars' FAN but also children.
What a way to spend 2+ hours! The final product is really great to play with and has so many different things to do.


Challenging but not durable
My son wanted this toy for a long time. He finally got it for Christmas. He is 8 and it is recommended for 12+. He enjoyed putting it together and had it done in 2 days. I helped him a little. When it was done he wanted to play with it. The doors were too heavy and kept coming apart. When we tried to put it back together it would cause more things to fall apart. He eventualy got frustrated with it and played with the pieces separately.


Better than it looks.
The Sandcrawler never looked that fun to me but my kids got it for Christmas. It is actually a lot better to play with than it looked. The inside is wider than it seemed and the model comes with a lot of tank tread pieces. Two of the tracks swivel to steer.

The Good: Clone Wars' themed set with plenty of details and hidden features.

The Challenging: The ship is heavy and delicate, so it may be difficult for smaller kids to maneuver.

In a Nutshell: Action-packed building set jump starts imaginative play.

Rule the Galaxy with the Ultimate Republic Starship
As seen in the film Star Wars: The Clone Wars -- in which the heroic Jedi Knights try to restore peace to the Galaxy as more and more members of the Republic fall under the influence of the Dark Side -- the Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser provides an action-packed narrative setting to inspire imaginative play.

Every detail of the Republic flagship is packed into this 20-inch-long model, which includes a front panel that opens to reveal Palpatine's quarters, a hidden cannon under the wings, a drop-bomb launcher, an escape pod, and more. The Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser comes complete with five mini figures: Chancellor Palpatine, two of his elite Senate bodyguards, one Clone Trooper pilot, and one Clone Trooper gunner.

Building the Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser
With 1,170 pieces and two colorful instruction booklets, the Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser took our two adult testers approximately three-and-a-half hours to construct. The majority of the pieces come in shades of gray, so approaching construction requires a bit or organization and discipline. But once building is started, detailed step-by-step illustrations make assembly straightforward.

Overall, this set scores an excellent rating for its clever design elements. Just when you think you've discovered all the hidden weapons and command posts, you stumble across another. Our favorite features are the Palpatine mini figure -- complete with cloth cape and wrinkled brow -- the sliding gunner, the hidden Clone Trooper cockpit, the escape pod, the bomb dropper, and the Chancellor's enormous command center.

Finally, most of all, our testers enjoyed the way the narrative of this set allowed them to reenact the ship-to-ship combat seen in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. They also appreciated that the storyline is simple enough to make the set entertaining, whether or not your child has seen the film.

What's in the Box
1,170 LEGO pieces and two instruction booklets.



Features:
  • Open the front hood to play inside Palpatine's detailed command center
  • Lift rear wings to reveal hidden gunnar and storage area for extra bombs and missiles
  • Dimensions: Length = 20 inches (50.8cm), Width = 12 inches (30.5cm), Height = 7 inches (17.8cm)

Challenging Lego
My 11 year old loved this ship. It was challenging enough to make him think, but it wasn't so difficult he could finish it on his own.
I think it was too expensive, but I think Lego knows they've got a product that endures and they make us pay BIG for it!


Lego Star Ventor (8039)
It is good and educational, the only thing is it is finished quickly and the joy is over. There should be a possibility to change it, upgrade it, reconstruct it with some additional partss.


One of my son's favorite birthday presents
My son asked for this weeks before his 11th birthday and was really excited to get it. He and his brothers spend a lot of time building and playing with it and then later he tore it down and built it all again.


Good for boys!
My son is 10 years old, really enjoying building the set. It is less challenging than I thought, but a good hand-on exercise. Some structure is not sturdy enough. Overall, my son is happy with the set.


Unhappy Lego Builder
My son has built many LEGOS of all types: Star Wars, Space Police, Pirates, Castles, etc. This LEGO was not any harder or more complicated than any other but it simply wouldn't stay together. Pieces were constantly falling off. Don't see any reason for this -- it's not larger than others he has built. Very disappointed -- especially for the price.
