Buyer Critiques

I am writing this assessment for my 11-year-old, so right here is his perspective:
General the set is excellent. It comes with numbered bags which make it straightforward to assemble. The emperor is a awesome addition because the only other way to get him is with the $400 Death Star set. Right here are the pros and cons:
Pros:
wings fold conveniently
doesn't come apart also effortlessly
cockpit opens up nicely
injured Anakin minifig has fine specifics
back gun swivels conveniently
amazing detail on cockpit viewscreen
great seating for clone pilot
front weapons and engines are realistic
landing gear is smooth so it can skid across the ground easily
highly sleek design
when I fly it about, the guys stay in their seats
Cons:
it should certainly seat much more minifigs, only seats two figs and there is not substantially space for them
the best comes off too easily so I modified it to make it more secure
did not include sufficient weapons, so I added some to the wings myself
Anakin's helmet mechanism does not perform properly...there's not sufficient space to play (the helmet mechanism takes up most of the space) so I removed it and place extra seats for stormtroopers
overall it is quite smaller for a $60 set
must have included a great deal more maroon/red bricks to make it appear like the 1 from the movie...it only included 6 3x1 flats so I added about 12 additional to make it look maroon/red
General I like this set and my mom got it for 12 dollars much less at Costco for my birthday so it was worth it.

(This assessment is written by my 11 year old son with my permission:)
This shuttle is the finest! It has secret compartments, 2 light saber holders, and the top rated comes off for effortless movement inside the car, and the cockpit is an instant ejection for the pilot when they crash. If you believe $45.00 is a lot of revenue it is worth it, large-time....WHY ARE YOU Nevertheless READING THIS Assessment Even though YOU COULD BE Obtaining THIS NEW LEGO!?
