Kerry, your review was most thorough!  I do not have the time nor the
patience to type an equally thorough response.  However, I respond just
hours after completing my own ISD...I must say you are being too critical of
the model's integrity.

I would prefer a couple more magnets per fuselage section, but they do the
trick sufficiently.

I had no problems with the model falling apart just by touching it.

Very minor modifications can increase the strength of the stand.

In my opinion, the set is designed for moving quite well:  Just take off the
bridge tower and upper deck structure (which just sits in place, held by
gravity alone), flip up the ramp support, and the superstructure acts as a
big handle!!  Not too hard considering the set's amazing size.

I never expected the ISD to be super durable...if LEGO were to beef up the
design, thereby increasing the piece count, we would all be shelling out
$350.00+  I'll do my own mods, thank you very much!

Don't take my opposition for hostility - I just don't agree with you.
