Excellent set

" This is one of the best Lego Star Wars sets I've had the pleasure to build.

It's a huge set (takes up half of the coffee table), comes with a great set of minifigs, and is a really interesting build.

Each of the trees has something different - the stand-alone one has a trapdoor at the top with a slide, and the three under the main platform have a pop-out spider's web, weapon store and hiding space (complete with Ewok graffiti).

There are loads of lovely little details from the film: C-3PO's levitating throne, the spit with Han Solo on, the poles with Luke & Chewbacca tied to them, the net (which is big enough to fit Chewbacca & R2-D2 in, possibly one more minifig too), the stormtrooper 'drum' helmets...

It's a fairly easy build once you work out which colour brick is represented by which colour in the build instructions (the browns look very similar) - the trickiest part is the bendy poles that run around the outside of the huts, but if you bend them around into a circle and hold them for a few minutes they keep their new shape really well (you get a couple of spares just in case).

Given the size of the finished piece, the variety of build techniques, the minifigs and the overall quality, the price is well justified. I waited a few weeks after the set was released to buy it as I wasn't sure it would be worth the money, but now that I've built it I'd say go for it! "

I would recommend this to a friend!
