Absolutely it's worth it! It also took me around 5 hours to build it, and what a blast! The way that the shape of the cockpit is achieved is terrific design because that's a difficult shape to make from bricks and plates. The parts are varied and (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jan-02, to lugnet.starwars)

My son (age 5) and I just built mine and we had a blast! It's an incredible ship. It's huge too. It's my all time favorite star wars ship. A bit flimsy though, and the highly touted dark red pieces seem to me to just be cheap manufacturing. In fact (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.starwars)

I own this set and it's excellent. I also have the UCS sets and I feel the RBR is every bit as good, possibly better. It is far more creative with SNOT that in the UCS sets and you'll get a *lot* of build time (it also took me about 5 hours to (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Found my first real batch of 2002 sets at Target today. The report on the suspected 'dark red' color in the Pod Car? WRONG!! It is standard LEGO red, and the darker pieces are the standard LEGO *brown*... I'm very disappointed in this! I was really (...)
