This review is from: LEGO Star Wars Republic Frigate 7964 (Toy)
I purchased this set for myself, a 31 y/o Star Wars nut, so this review
is going to be more for people like me that build these sets for the fun
of uilding and to put them on display. So far this is my largest Lego
build, and by far was the most enjoyable to put together. The detail
level on it is very nice, and all of the core structure is very sturdy.
There are a few pieces that will pop off fairly easily, but they are
all cosmetics (antennas, turrets, etc.) and are quite simple to just pop
back on. The stickers appear to be pretty good and will probably stay
attached on display for a long time. It is pre-organized into numbered
bags that correpsond to a step in the build process, which makes it much
less time consuming to build (no more digging through 1k pieces looking
for that one little 1peg piece). This organized assembly process is
also kind of neat to watch, as it goes together just like modern naval
vessels: One segment at a time. It is a large kit, and will take up
quite a bit of space on your display shelf. I'm going to have mine on a
coffee table next to the Milenium Falcon kit I'm getting for Xmas. It
is well balanced enough that hanging it from the carry handle is
probably a viable option as well.
