Hey Kerry,
While I'll agree that the model is not easily handled and cannot be swooshed
around, I wasn't disappointed by this at all. In fact, I expected it.
Given it's scale, the model would have to be glued together to be sturdy
enough (horrors!). Besides, Star Destroyers don't swoosh, they glide slowly
but surely towards you with the inexorable power of evil. TIE fighter's do
the swooshing! :-)
The sheer size and weight of the model does affect it in some ways. I found
that the four hull sections cannot maintain a straight line along the
outside edge, and that there are some gaps here and there. However, I found
this interesing in that it reveals some of the limitations of lego bricks in
acheiving such complex shapes at this scale. You can even see this in some
of the box photos, and I was glad that TLG seemed to not be attempting to
hide this fact. I'm sure that these minor design flaws could have been
corrected, but that would have probably driven the price of the set too
high.
I think my only real complaint was that it was impossible to make enough
space for all the pieces on my table. I had to leave quite a few bags
opened but not emptied in the box because there was nowhere to dump them
without using up my workspace. The sub-assemblies are HUGE, and take up a
lot of room!
