Let’s start off with the cons just to get them out of the way. There are many pros and cons with the Imperial Shuttle. The display stand is also in the last booklet. The wings are pretty easy to build but be prepared to have circle marks on your fingers due to pushing the pins to stabilize the moving pieces. The other two booklets takes guides you through the wings of the shuttle. The one thing that is a bonus for the cockpit is that it’s able to detach as an escape pod. The first two instruction booklets guides you through the building of the base of the ship, the cockpit, and the upper stabilizer fin. The instructions are pretty clear although it gets pretty repetitive meaning you have to practically build the same things but opposite. One thing I have to say is there are a lot of Technic pieces for ship. Like I mentioned before, try to build the Imperial Shuttle in an open space as you will be working from many different piles of bricks and you don’t want them to get mixed up. The Stormtrooper is the same as seen in many other sets. The Imperial Officer is in all gray distinguished by the rank on his uniform. The Imperial Pilot is in all black, which I think this is the only set that he appears in with this version. Luke is in his black Jedi knight attire with a black right hand. The Darth Vader is the same version as in the Millennium Falcon set. The set comes with five minifigs which are, Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Imperial Pilot, Imperial Officer, and a Stormtrooper. There are four instruction booklets included in a polybag with a cardboard backing so the booklets wouldn’t get wrinkled. I recommend a big table to spread out the pieces when assembling because there will be at least ten different piles. The bricks come in many bags, and when I say many, I mean many! The bags aren’t numbered but are organized very well.

The set includes 2503 pieces and retails for $259.99, which is at $0.09/piece.

Not really wanting to spend that much on a LEGO set but it was a deal that I couldn’t pass up. To my delight, there was a sale on for the LEGO Star Wars Imperial Shuttle. Around Christmas 2011, I was looking around different sites to see if there were sales going on at that time.
