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.
