LEGO 10221 Super Star Destroyer

With so many pieces and hours that go into this baby - it is a perfect way to spend time while self isolating! I love to put on some music and get into a groove with my sister and dad building the coolest lego's! What a wonderful way for some quality family bonding!

100% Worth it!

If you're a fan of Lego and Star Wars, this is a MUST. The suggested build time of this 3,152 piece monster is around 10 hours, but it will take you much longer. To me, this is a good thing because in life, as is all things I've come to learn, its the journey that is the most fun, not the destination. This 49" behemoth proudly sits amongst my collection and I enjoy looking at it everyday. It is a lot more complicated than the standard Lego builds, but as you piece it together you will see the simplicity in its major components. The price is steep, but then again, you truly get what you pay for.

Great for displaying on a shelf

My Super Star Destroyer was displayed on the top of a cabinet. With the original stands all I could see was the edge and bottom. This angled stand allows me to see much more of the ship and makes an overall better display. Plus it raises it up allowing more space for other sets to be displayed on the same shelf. I highly recommend the angled display for anyone displaying this ship at or above eye level.

Looking for a huge model this is it

What can I say AWESOME!!! For the price of a collector edition also great!!! Compared to other collector series kits this is not much more than what it retailed for before retiring. Lots of detail and I have to say the engines on this thing look great!!! It is huge... a tad over 4 feet long and over 8 lbs. Need a lot of room to display this.

Looks amazing....so far....

I just got home and opened the packaging to this amazing lego star wars super star destroyer and so far the box itself is in way better condition that what I was expecting! I received it a week earlier then expected so definitely can't complain about that! Can't say enough good things about this UCS set as I have waited quite awhile for just the right one and I definitely found it! Highly recommend this set! Now the real challenge....finding room for it....

Must have for any Lego fan.

Wow. This set is simply death defying. No other Lego set matches up to it, unless you have the UCS Millenium Falcon which I've heard is better than this one. You won't understand the sheer size or weight of it until it's complete.Lets start at the beginning. When you open the box you get three white number boxes labeled 1-3 and a smaller box for the instruction book. The numbered boxes also have numbered bags in them. Box 1 has bags 1-2, box 2 has bags 3-4, and box 3 has bags 5-7. The instruction book is a spiral bound giant it's 39" long when opened up. It is probably one of the most impressive things with this set.The mini figures. Dengar is a redesign with a backpack you build. Bossk is just from the Slave l set. Darth Vader has scar marks on his head and a ... MoreWow. This set is simply death defying.

Darth Vader has scar marks on his head and a little more printing on the torso than usual. IG-88 is a redesign but just a battle droid with a fancy head. Finally Admiral Piett is an exclusive figure to this set.The build. It was an average build but the way they use basic Lego parts to build this is just beautiful. There are a few different pieces than normal but this set has 3152 pieces so its understandable but they kept the unique pieces down. The way you build the flat bottom and then build long huge technic parts that clip to the base and then clip to each other because this things weighs a TON in the back but it is very very well supported with the technic. The superstructure is remarkably simple. You build baseplates that go around the command bridge and then a lot of repetition comes building up to 12 of the same little detailing pieces because its perfectly symmetrical but it's so worth it to see it in the end. Unless you tell someone and point out the repeated pieces on the top they won't see but maybe MAYBE an experienced lego builder could see it. The wings were very unstable when your building them because they're 49" long themselves and you have to continually flip it over and over and over and over again. But at the end they become very sturdy when they're ready to clip on. The engines are very cool and they even have detailing on them. The stands and display card are a very nice addition and support the model well.Playability. The set isn't to be played with even though they threw in the hidden bridge there's not a lot to do with except with the illustrations on the box because its kind of small and not to mini figure scale. It's a nice addition but it definitely isn't worth getting for a kids under maybe 15 if they're mature but under that they won't like it because there really isn't playability.Ratings:Build-10/10Minifigures-9.2/10Playability-2/10Overall-10/10

Set I wanted

A much sought after set. However, it was quite dirty with a greasy film on a majority of the pieces that had to be very very thoroughly washed.

Super Star Destroyer

Its Lego. Its a quality product. Teaches you to follow instructions. Engineering. Construction

Venture to the Dark Side

This toy is pricey but worth the anguish of getting yelled at for a few days for building this star destroyer at the main dinner table. Push all of those place settings aside because there will not be anybody sitting and eating near this project for days. Nevermind the threats from your girlfriend or spouse that you or you and your child(ren) will be sent to your rooms for commandeering the dining room. The Dark Side will reward you for earning the respect of your fellow Sith (neighbors and online bragging rights). Your child(ren) will listen to you bark orders from now on and do their chores the first time as you help them build this awesome toy. Fear not...granting your girl a mere shopping spree or a day at the spa will mend that minor rift in your domestic ... MoreThis toy is pricey but worth the anguish of getting yelled at for a few days for building this star destroyer at the main dinner table.

Like having the coolest yard tools on the block, neighbors in awe will flock to your house in awe but be sure to take off that Vader mask and try not to motion and choke anyone as they will want to touch this Star Destroyer. May the Force be with you.

Yeah... Where do i put this again?

ITS HUGE!!! 49-50 inches long.. So pick a place to put it. This can be carried a lot easier than the Imperial star destroyer but does have about 6-7 pounds of weigh to it. This is a VERY eye catchy piece to add to any Star Wars lego collection. This tends to be the piece that people flock to first besides the AT-ST or Falcon (Well the falcon and this are the top two that get attention, 3rd i would have to say would be the 10030 Imperial star destroyer set. Anyhow, Purchased this and had it build in 2 days. (spent about 2 hours a day) Boxes within the lego set are packaged very nicely and laid out very well for building. I was equally impressed by the package of the legos and manual (as how it came from lego when sold) Very nice and neat packaging. Comes with tiny ... MoreITS HUGE!!! 49-50 inches long..

Comes with tiny command center in ship, but mini figs cannot be left in there unless they are laying as flat as they can be (so that the top can be put on). Overall kids and i were going crazy of this one. Great Build and Collectors piece. Sits pretty solid on base stands
