Consumer Critiques

I am writing this evaluation for my 11-year-old, so right here is his perspective:
Overall the set is superior. It comes with numbered bags which make it hassle-free to assemble. The emperor is a outstanding addition considering that 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 as well quickly
cockpit opens up nicely
injured Anakin minifig has really good facts
back gun swivels simply
good detail on cockpit viewscreen
good seating for clone pilot
front weapons and engines are realistic
landing gear is smooth so it can skid across the ground simply
especially sleek style
when I fly it around, the guys remain in their seats
Cons:
it ought to seat a great deal more minifigs, only seats two figs and there is not substantially space for them
the leading comes off as well readily so I modified it to make it even more secure
did not incorporate sufficient weapons, so I added some to the wings myself
Anakin's helmet mechanism does not operate properly...there's not sufficient area to play (the helmet mechanism takes up most of the space) so I removed it and place additional seats for stormtroopers
general it is pretty smaller for a $60 set
need to have included more maroon/red bricks to make it look like the 1 from the film...it only included 6 3x1 flats so I added about 12 much more to make it look maroon/red
General I like this set and my mom got it for 12 dollars less at Costco for my birthday so it was worth it.

(This critique is written by my 11 year old son with my permission:)
This shuttle is the greatest! It has secret compartments, two light saber holders, and the leading comes off for quick movement inside the car, and the cockpit is an immediate ejection for the pilot when they crash. If you assume $45.00 is a lot of dollars it's worth it, major-time....WHY ARE YOU Nevertheless READING THIS Review While YOU COULD BE Shopping for THIS NEW LEGO!?
