Rule the Galaxy with the Ultimate Republic Starship
As seen in the film Star Wars: The Clone Wars -- in which the heroic Jedi Knights try to restore peace to the Galaxy as more and more members of the Republic fall under the influence of the Dark Side -- the Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser provides an action-packed narrative setting to inspire imaginative play. Every detail of the Republic flagship is packed into this 20-inch-long model, which includes a front panel that opens to reveal Palpatine's quarters, a hidden cannon under the wings, a drop-bomb launcher, an escape pod, and more. The Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser comes complete with five mini figures: Chancellor Palpatine, two of his elite Senate bodyguards, one Clone Trooper pilot, and one Clone Trooper gunner. Building the Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser
With 1,170 pieces and two colorful instruction booklets, the Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser took our two adult testers approximately three-and-a-half hours to construct. The majority of the pieces come in shades of gray, so approaching construction requires a bit or organization and discipline. But once building is started, detailed step-by-step illustrations make assembly straightforward. Overall, this set scores an excellent rating for its clever design elements. Just when you think you've discovered all the hidden weapons and command posts, you stumble across another. Our favorite features are the Palpatine mini figure -- complete with cloth cape and wrinkled brow -- the sliding gunner, the hidden Clone Trooper cockpit, the escape pod, the bomb dropper, and the Chancellor's enormous command center. Finally, most of all, our testers enjoyed the way the narrative of this set allowed them to reenact the ship-to-ship combat seen in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. They also appreciated that the storyline is simple enough to make the set entertaining, whether or not your child has seen the film. What's in the Box
1,170 LEGO pieces and two instruction booklets.

A local group where I live is looking for one of these to be donated to our adopt-a-troop program.
A soldier put this on his wishlist and they are having trouble getting him one.

I gave this Lego set to my grandson for his 7th birthday. He was ecstatic! He is both a Star Wars fan and a Legos fan. Both his parents and I want him to use his imagination and creativity and Legos are the best!
Design's not perfect, still a great model though June 20, 2010

Like almost all the larger Star Wars Lego sets, this one is delightful to look at (but not so durable to hold/play with). On most of our Star Wars ships, I grabbed additional "reinforcing" pieces from our existing collection to make the model sturdier---it's possible to modify it in a way so as not to change the outer look of the ship. Without additional reinforcement to the design, this set is more like a cool display you might keep on a shelf or desk and play with carefully. The price-per-piece cost is about right, lower than many current sets; there are not any truly unique parts to add to your large collection though.
The pieces (almost 1200) are NOT in numbered baggies for building purposes. To avoid major frustration searching for parts during construction, you will need to do some preliminary sorting by color or type. With the pieces somewhat sorted out, this is still what I would consider a challenging build for a smaller child. Because there are a lot of connecting sections, it's critical that certain pieces are in exactly the right place; with less-than-perfect attention to detail an inexperienced builder might realize down the road that something isn't fitting together correctly because of an earlier oversight (mercifully, mistakes can be corrected in most cases without breaking the whole thing back down). Kids might learn a good lesson there---pay attention to instructions, check your work carefully, be persistent, etc. There are 2 booklets of instruction and most of the ship is modular, so there are plenty of opportunities for taking a break during the process. I would say this took about 2 hours to get finished.
The ship is very cool though---moving wings and a fully retracting main compartment, bomb-dropping mechanism, escape pod, and more. All the Star Wars sets are great to look at and this one is no exception. The only challenge is keeping the thing together during play time!

Legos always go over well in my house, and this one was no exception. Especially if you are also a Star Wars fan!
