@@brickmasterharri I think it would be cool if each set came with a few extra pieces so you could add on stuff, maybe have ideas on the back.

Always makes me kind of bitter in a way to see all these guys with the old lego star wars sets, imo they had a lot more to offer in terms of playability and especially side builds, like the classic clone wars, old empire sets, JANGO FETTS SLAVE 1, would always see them whenever we went to the mall or department stores when I was a kid and my mom always said no, however I have amassed a pretty good collection of the newer sets and I'm quite proud of it, childhood me would've been jealous to no end
This exact set is the bane of my childhood. It kept falling apart as I was building it and I was at the end of my patience when I FINALLY completed it... only for it to completely fall apart after like 5 seconds. I gave up and never put it back together, letting the broken chunks sit in the box at my grandma's house for the rest of time and it remains to be considered one of my greatest failures and defeats down to this day
Unlocked a memory for me, I had the same problem with it. Just such a fragile set, panels would break off when you picked it up, if you didn't close the hinged panels softly things would fall apart. But it was so cool
@@widdly-scuds Yeah, the hinged panels were definitely the weak point of this set. Probably the reason why I built it like 1 or 2 times in my entire life, then didn't touch it too much before dismentling it. Besides that, the set was dope
I just put this set in my spare pieces section for this exact reason. I moved to an apartment and then bought a house in quick order and had to move it. Fell apart both times to an alarming degree. I also had enough VIP points to get the ISD UCS set for like $200. So, with a better ISD and the memory of this thing just falling apart over and over… kept the figures for display and parted the rest. Kinda sad, but not really. Bad set for a kid, bad set for display, bad memories.
I got this set with it’s release wave. I think I was 8 or 9. I think around the age of 11 or 12 I ended up reinforcing it. But yeah, great technic frame, absolutely abhorrent floor/panels, no spot to reliably hold it by. Always had to do that “baby cradle” like you were holding an already cracked vase That was definitely the first and last time Lego made a capital ship set you couldn’t just pick up. It’s Star Wars! Swooshability is everything!
Just imagine if the guy was like that in the movies "The Rebels are attacking, sir!" "What are you smiling about? Do you think that's funny?" "Yes, sir. They don't stand a chance against our LEGO firepower!"
I was very fortunate to have been able to acquire it as a kid! Oh was it an awesome set! Ive been meaning to rebuilt this set for years nows, but have never gotten around to doing so. I mean, i still have the original instructions
Another one I always wanted as a kid was the Endor Bunker Set that came with the ATST and everything. Also the clone was Venator although I’d say this star destroyer holds up today way better than the old Venator To this day the LAAT and ATOT is the most wanted set in my list though
This is one of my favorite lego sets from my childhood, the thing looks so great! And the interior is absolutely fantastic. For the longest time i actually had it customized with the red republic look.
@@Link10983 I remember how that book made younger me throw up in my room while reading. It was a good story because my imagination ran that wild. And it was the only Star Wars book I finished. I tried reading Ahsoka, Maul, and SWBF2: Inferno Squad, but lost interest after a couple of chapters from each.
This set is incredible, I always wanted this set but never got it. I would love to see more old sets, and I also really like the escape pod feature. Never fail to impress.😊
You're better off buying the new Star Destroyer coming in August, or the last iteration from a decade ago. This 2006 set is the worst designed LEGO Star Wars set I've ever owned in terms of structural integrity; whole thing fell apart just moments after I finished building it as a kid. Just don't see it as worth the money/hassle of buying used unless you're a super avid collector that needs to have this as part of your collection.
Considering for its time, it was amazing! The details, play features, and the main focus was for its customers to play with their imagination with the figures and the set build. These sets were what made me love Lego Star Wars as a child.
Definitely a special set. Big and very detailed. Aged greatly, doesn't stand out that much from modern sets. It also has oldschool mini figures and bricks and old LEGO grey that many of us grew up with and also associate with old LEGO Star Wars games. Pure nostalgia and still holds up greatly today.
Wow the memories of this set, i had it when i was 6 then i remember my dad build it for me all night. It was my first big lego set ever, thank you to bring me this memory and great vid!
This was actually the first Lego Star Wars set I got as a kid. Had to wait 1 year for my parents to buy it for Christmas, but oh boy, I was the happiest kid in the world. I was so proud to build it myself even tho I was under the age limit on the box. I kept it built for like 1 year, then I had a lot of fun dismantling it to try and build the other things suggested in the mannual. Couldn't manage to keep the parts together for too long, so I used them with my other Legos, but even the parts from this set were among the most useful parts I ever had. Probably the best toy from my childhood
This was my first big Lego set I got when I was 5 in 2005. I loved it to death and it stayed built all the way up until my house got destroyed. Love this set 💚
Thank you for actually showcasing this set and the features. See so many videos that are just a flex on how much the person has spent, rather than saying anything about the set. So thank you for actually showcasing this and sharing it.
the funny part about that hole to release the escape pod, it is actually almost entirely accurate because the in-universe star destroyers have a hole under them to accomodate the hangars.
They may have made the Star Destroyer look better these days, but things on this set such as the actual loading bay underneath the set is what makes this set so much cooler as an actual PLAY set.
That's a really cool set, especially because of all the play features! I used to have the republic Venator class. As far as I remember, there weren't that much features, but it also had a escape pod (in the back), there was the possibility of throwing some kind of bombs/torpedos and there was this big a gun, that you was able to slide from one side if the ship to another. The inner was splitted in two parts. In the back was the store for the bombs/torpedos and if you took that out, it was like a really small hangar and behind that was the big gun on rails to slide from left to right and back. And in the front, you were able to open the roof and then there was this really luxury looking "office" for Palpatine. It had Palpatine, two Senate Guards and one Clone (maybe there where two Clones, I'm not sure about that anymore). And on top it that handle you could slide out to take the ship, let it "fly" and bring hell too all seperatist troops. Objectively it mabye wasn't the most playable of a star destroyer like set, but for me it's one of the best sets I used to own back then. Really had fun with that big guy.
YES! Agreed! Bought this last month. I always wanted it as a kid, finally got it as an adult and boy am I happy to finally own this beast of a legendary set.
This is probably the best play scale star destroyer set ever. For a 2006 set I was not expecting something this good! The amount of play features in this model is just wild. I really wish I had it but I don’t, I can only watch reviews of it :(
I love that set, but I gotta say my favourite set is the At-ot and Republic drop ship because you got a tank and a gunship in one set which is everything clone wars related you could want. Sadly never had both of these sets but would love to get a remake of that one with an At-te
This set reminds me of my childhood so much. I remember paying $100 for this set and it was in a lego target isle. Legos where definitely cheaper back then.
My cousin is designing the new Lego starwars. His first set is coming in May. Super excited to see them. Our childhood was always starwars and Legos. Can't wait to see them.
I remember wanting this set so bad when it first released, i went to look at it all the time in stores and especially on the costco shelves for some reason. Can’t believe how long it’s been since then
My grandma got this for me for Christmas when I was little. I should find the instructions online and whatever box or bin the parts are in and rebuild it! (Rest In Peace gramma ❤️)
I used to find most of mine in Lego City sets, specifically police because they used to always be used as security cameras. While I do love the blasters, there was just a certain charm to seeing the old megaphone pieces being used along with the heavy blaster...
I remember getting this set from my parents as a kid on my birthday… it was missing bag 1, which happened to include every single minifig in the set. I was so disappointed but I didn’t ask my parents to try returning it because we were poor and I knew how big of a purchase it was for them. Really awesome build though.
Still have that set. My younger brother got it for either his birthday or Christmas, and eventually, it got dusty. Took everything apart, cleaned all the pieces, put it back together with the instructions off LEGO website.
my childhood peaked after finally getting this set after two years of saving for it. It was also very rare to find in shops and it took months to find. Then my mom found it by accident and called to me if she should get it for me. Been so excited only handful times in my life. Thanks for bringing back this memory
I own this one and it's still in my old childhood bedroom so I see this whenever I Visit my family and it makes me quite nostalgic. Mine is in pretty rough shape however and while I probably still have the missing parts somewhere, a lot of them aren't attached to the model itself anymore.
I miss lego sets with this many play features, there is just something nostalgic about them
Me too! I want to make a video all about that.. Something about the classics!

Got this one for Christmas back in the day. Phenomenal set.

such a good set and great review too! they need to remake a play scale star destroyer since the UCS one retired
Thanks man! You're so right!!
They did in 2014, it was pretty cool. A lot more stable.
Venator
@@mirandalockey7334he means he doesnt wanna spend $400+ to get a playscale star destroyer
I want to get the UCS one, but damn.. it’s so big. lol
I remember waiting for toys r us to open when I was 4 to buy this set. Crazy nostalgia.
Dangg i'd love having that core memory haha
How much money did your parents give you
Don’t worry, toys r us is back, even though your older you can still relive memories by going to it and buying Lego sets
You must’ve been from a rich family 😂
Bro you got this when you were 4? Damn
The minifigs peeking out from the bridge is so absurd and cute LEGO at the same time…
I like how one of the pilots is a serious, ready-for-war strategic commander and the one in the back is just like “:)”
Just imagine if the guy was like that in the movies
"The Rebels are attacking, sir!"
"What are you smiling about? Do you think that's funny?"
"Yes, sir. They don't stand a chance against our LEGO firepower!"
He's vibin
That looks sick. Wish lego would do more stuff like this
I do too!
This is one of the Gold tier sets we all wanted at Kings, ToysRUs, and WalMart before they turned their stores into SuperMarts.
We were there...
I was very fortunate to have been able to acquire it as a kid! Oh was it an awesome set! Ive been meaning to rebuilt this set for years nows, but have never gotten around to doing so. I mean, i still have the original instructions
The toys r us that I used to always go to closed a few months ago 😮
Another one I always wanted as a kid was the Endor Bunker Set that came with the ATST and everything. Also the clone was Venator although I’d say this star destroyer holds up today way better than the old Venator
To this day the LAAT and ATOT is the most wanted set in my list though
This is one of my favorite lego sets from my childhood, the thing looks so great! And the interior is absolutely fantastic.
For the longest time i actually had it customized with the red republic look.
I never thought I’d see a star destroyer take a shit

There’s no way they’d release a set anywhere near as fragile or as many gaps today though. Still great but many pieces could be added to improve it.

It for sure is a less sturdy build compared to what we have today, but it's still amazing with its looks and interior!
@@brickmasterharri i support the bottom with spare parts i had. You couldn't tell the difference from above and it became sturdy as a steel beam.
You didn't build it wrong, my dude. This set is infamous for falling apart all on its own.
So amazing!! I love the escape pod function!
I never had a capitol ship set, but my favorite was the original ARC-170 set from Revenge of the Sith, with those funky clone pilots!
This was my first big Lego set I got when I was 5 in 2005. I loved it to death and it stayed built all the way up until my house got destroyed. Love this set 💚

That's true they should sometime soon!
Good news for you

Him building this Lego set was it was a good day

Those old times… when Lego made their sets with love…
With love, but not the best structural integrity... This set was a pain

God I remember getting this set for Christmas and building it on the floor
Do you still owned it ?
Dude sameee
@@neymardasilvasantosjunior7347 i do
It seemed so much bigger when I was a kid. I also vaguely remember r2d2 and/or C3PO figs that went in the escape pod.

I used to think modern sets were superior until rather recently, I've gotten ahold of old ones. So much more creative playable sturdy and enjoyable

The neat part of this for me is that this is set they choose for the Lego Star Wars games so if you wanted a relic from that it is one
I had this set as a kid. I loved this one.
This brings me back to when I was a kid, and i would go into Walmart and see this set, knowing that I would never be able to afford it... good times
I remember having my dad help me build it (even my uncle who came to visit during the time). Such a fun kit.
This set reminds me of my childhood so much. I remember paying $100 for this set and it was in a lego target isle. Legos where definitely cheaper back then.
I got this set as a kid from my grandfather best gift ever. I wish I appreciated it more back then. RIP GPA❤
ive never seen that laser-firing play feature on a set before. It's so cool
Lego should recreate some of these classic play features
My cousin is designing the new Lego starwars. His first set is coming in May. Super excited to see them. Our childhood was always starwars and Legos. Can't wait to see them.
I had this set, my mom got it for me back when we went to disney land in florida. Such a long time ago. Such a fun set
My favorite I had as a kid for sure. Darth Vaders Meditation chamber was always so cool to me
I still have this set on display. Back when getting bigger lego sets was actually much more affordable.
Wow this is a classic. It’s still on my shelf
I really want lego to remake this set
The only problem is the 5 technic holes at the top of the ship, which could’ve been easily covered.
This was my first big set my sister got me when I was 7-8 and I still have it and love it to this day, they don’t make ‘em like they use to 😢
This is the first Lego Star Wars set I ever owned. I built it with my dad. Nostalgia and happy tears.
One of my childhood grails I always wanted
I bought it as i was 5 Years old and this set Is absolutely Legendary
I remember wanting this set so bad when it first released, i went to look at it all the time in stores and especially on the costco shelves for some reason. Can’t believe how long it’s been since then
I literally had this set as a kid and it was lost with time. What I would give to have it back.
The hologram is amazing, I didn't know that it is so amazing inside. Lego did a great job here

I think so too!
My grandma got this for me for Christmas when I was little. I should find the instructions online and whatever box or bin the parts are in and rebuild it!

I wish Lego still made those blaster pieces, which could be used as rocket launchers for Lego figures
I used to find most of mine in Lego City sets, specifically police because they used to always be used as security cameras. While I do love the blasters, there was just a certain charm to seeing the old megaphone pieces being used along with the heavy blaster...
