"I am not entirely sure why, with so many great ships and things to choose from, LEGO continues to re-release these iconic sets so quickly after retiring the old sets. This Death Star really only has a few extra minifigs. Certainly not $100 worth of changes from the old set. On the whole the old set was definitely worth the $400 price tag but it was just worth that.
The Millennium Falcon went through a similar change for no reason. They changed the dish. I think LEGO is more into marketing to collectors than in marketing to builders. Where is the Rebel Tantive IV UCS or an AT-AT UCS?
Don't get me wrong, I love these sets and will continue to buy them but I think LEGO is straying from what gave these sets their collectibility by trying to make them collectible! Oh the Irony!"

"This was a fun (Quick) build. The pull back motor is pretty strong and it is cool to look at."
