It can also only be picked up in very careful and specific spots, because most of its body simply cannot take its weight at all. It looks like a big hulk of plastic, and it certainly weighs enough, but this thing wobbles. It’s also interesting in that it includes fewer small details you need to build overall when compared to the Millennium Falcon, but the build – which starts with the stand, then creates a cross-shaped skeleton with triangular frame, then tasks you with building large panels that become the hull – is fiddler because everything is more delicate, as we said. The height in particular, because a lot of Lego’s photos don’t really show the stand that’s a necessary part of the build, making it a bit taller than it appears. The length is maybe what you expect from the pictures, but the width and height really catch you out in real life – trust us. It is 110cm (43 inches) long, 66cm (26 inches) wide and 44cm (17 inches) high. Fittingly for its theme, at the time of its release this was the physically largest set that Lego had ever sold, once fully built – that’s despite actually including fewer pieces than the Millennium Falcon, at 4,784. Everything we just said applies double to the Star Destroyer.

However, of these two sets, it’s the less delicate option. The instructions give you specific advice on how to hold it, in fact. Lego rates it as being for ages 16 and up – its larger sets are often given steep age ratings, seemingly due to the large number of small pieces often required, and there can be delicate handling needed once something this big is built, because it’s certainly a weighty thing, and mishandling could cause an accident. It will take a long time – it would easily occupy a whole weekend if you were really going at it, or could consume a few hours per night for easily a week or so. Then you add the legs, the outer silhouette of its shape, the rooms drop into the gaps in the frame, and all the outer body panels. The build consists of putting together a hefty Lego Technic rectangular frame, with sections inside – it’s kind of like a window frame. It’s made from 7,541 pieces, a large number of which are just for adding all the little details, to get the look exactly right outside and inside, with its panels and pipes and so on. At least the ship design means it’s not very tall at 21cm (8 inches).

The Millennium Falcon reaches 84cm (33 inches) long when fully built, and 56cm (22 inches) wide. These are both absolute beasts, both in terms of the number of pieces as well as the finished size.
