Buyer Evaluations

I am writing this evaluation for my 11-year-old, so right here is his perspective:
Overall the set is really good. It comes with numbered bags which make it effortless to assemble. The emperor is a great addition considering the fact 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 quickly
does not come apart as well quickly
cockpit opens up nicely
injured Anakin minifig has superior facts
back gun swivels very easily
good detail on cockpit viewscreen
very good seating for clone pilot
front weapons and engines are realistic
landing gear is smooth so it can skid across the ground conveniently
particularly sleek style
when I fly it about, the guys remain in their seats
Cons:
it need to seat alot more minifigs, only seats two figs and there is not considerably space for them
the prime comes off also quickly so I modified it to make it additional secure
did not include things like adequate weapons, so I added some to the wings myself
Anakin's helmet mechanism does not perform properly...there's not sufficient room to play (the helmet mechanism takes up most of the space) so I removed it and place extra seats for stormtroopers
general it is fairly small for a $60 set
ought to have included even more maroon/red bricks to make it look like the one from the film...it only included 6 3x1 flats so I added about 12 a lot more to make it appear 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 evaluation is written by my 11 year old son with my permission:)
This shuttle is the preferred! It has secret compartments, 2 light saber holders, and the prime comes off for uncomplicated movement inside the vehicle, and the cockpit is an immediate ejection for the pilot when they crash. If you consider $45.00 is a lot of income it is worth it, large-time....WHY ARE YOU Nonetheless READING THIS Critique While YOU COULD BE Getting THIS NEW LEGO!?
