What Lego Star Wars Imperial Shuttle (10212)?

The Lego Star Wars Imperial shuttle is a detailed model of the Lambda Class Imperial Shuttle first seen (in the original versions) the final Star War episode, The Return of The Jedi.

Like the other Lego Star Wars sets, this shuttle is incredible in its detail and design. Created by a master toy maker who actually sat down and watched the movie several times, after he was satisfied with the motions of the craft, he then poured over photos of the original models(remember this is a back in the day movie when they used actual stuff like models and not computers)diagrams to get it right.

Things You Would Like About Lego Star Wars Imperial Shuttle (10212)

Things I Didn’t Like About Lego Star Wars Imperial Shuttle (10212)

This model behaves in a fashion similar to the movies meaning the wings can be extended for flight mode or retracted for docking maneuvers.

This action is possible through a key/crank configuration. I’m not sure if it’s my big hands but the action was a little clunky, in the hands of a little one, caution should be observed or you’ll have a shuttle crash on your hands.

No worries however, the easy to understand instructions will make repairs quick and fund.

Who Would Like This Toy

True Star Wars fans and their off spring will love this set. The Imperial Shuttle set is not too big, not to small, it’s just right for a child’s solo construction efforts.

Suggested age for this model is 16. Of course you know your kids better than anyone else.
