After my previous experiences with the LEGO Star Destroyer, my hopes were high for this new set. The LEGO Death Star II was 3,449 pieces, and the idea looked impressive. So I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed that this product only took me 13 hours to assemble, compared to the 20.5 of the Star Destroyer...

Still, it's an impressive set. I was especially fond of the ship steering wheels wheels being used as spokes. And the added skill level of trying to play while my two cats were climbing all around me was fun.
