The Imperial Dancing Destroyer
" My building room door had to be kept closed on a beautiful day because a slight wind was making the model wobble a lot, my niece said it was dancing :D i believe its because the stand is not very stable for the weight it has to hold.
Also, prior to placement i triple checked every section. They all clipped on well but i have been left surprised at all the big gaps and general flimsiness of the model.
Eg: The instruction's placed 4 ball holders on each side of the Top front panels but only 2 of them are actually used ???.
The 2 panels that clip onto the back of the bridge don't line up well because the section they clip onto is not stable itself.

This is my 11th SW UCS set and its by far the worst as it feels very....incomplete.
Back to waiting for the 3rd edition and ill be sure to read the reviews first.

Detailed Beauty
" Recommended for any Lego fan. A truly beautiful set.
Pros:
Definitely has the WOW! factor on display.
Not to difficult for the Intermediate builder.
Fun for the Family, and the cat....
Can add more carriages.
Looks awesome cruising past the Disney Castle.
Cons:
Stickers, one sticker is too many and this set has 3 sheets worth. I will need to order more as i damaged some trying to get them straight.
Power Up is obviously still a work in progress so i can forgive some of its shortcomings like the controls and adding extras like lights, hopefully this will be rectified soon. The real letdown is the that it chews through batteries fast and you need to remove screws to replace them.
Recommendations:
Please Please Please go back to printed bricks. Everyone in my Lego group would happily pay more for sets with them. We choose Lego for the quality and stickers do not convey quality, let the other cheap brands do the stickers.
How many petition signatures would we need for Lego to go full on printed? ;o)
Knowing Lego does its best to be environmentally friendly, its sad to see you still requiring normal batteries to run your products. Most of the powered sets are already up there in price so why not add a bit more and only use rechargeable. Perhaps something like a Lego exclusive rechargeable power bank cartridge that is interchangeable with all of your products that require batteries.

Thanks so much for all your hard work and fantastic products.
