LEGO Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer (75394) review

Most big LEGO Star Wars ships are rated 18+ and priced for display shelves. The Imperial Star Destroyer (75394) is the exception that works for a family: 1,555 pieces, rated 10+, and $159.99 on LEGO.com. LEGO built it to be flown, with a carry handle that folds out and spring-loaded shooters for targeting Rebel ships. The top panel lifts off and the side panels fold out to reveal the bridge, a command room and a break room, so the inside is a play space rather than hidden bracing. It ships with 7 Star Wars minifigures, including a Cal Kestis figure, and a Kyber Crystal element in the cargo box. LEGO pitches it at kids and at older fans who remember A New Hope, so it suits a parent and child building together. The downsides are the price and the size: a family that is not into Star Wars gets more variety from the $59.99 Medieval Dragon.
