LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Transformation 75183 Building Kit, for 84 months to 144 months

Bought this for our 10 year old son for Christmas he absolutely loved it and was so proud of himself assembling it on his own! Definitely would purchase again and highly recommend!

Loved this Lego set!! It was missing one piece but no big deal, easy to assemble as instructions are always clear, it looks exactly as pictured, size was ok not as big as I thought it’d be for $110 but other than that it was a great buy & looks great

BUY: If you love Revenge of the Sith & LEGO.DO NOT BUY: If you are not a fan of the prequels.This is a must have set for any Revenge of the Sith fans, it's a major improvement over the original darth vader transformation and has great minifigures including medical droids that are unique to this set. You also get extra gold lightsaber hilts with Palpatine and battle-scarred Anakin is an awesome figure to collect. The construction of this set feels solid and it is actually very easy to use the function of this set, putting on Darth Vader's helmet works well and is efficient for display.PROS:- Great design/build construction- Amazing value for price- Lots of minifigure variety- Exclusive minifigures- Practical function that actually works- Iconic scene and accurate depiction of transformationCONS- Not a very mobile set

I had recently purchased this LEGO set along with LEGO Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Yoda’s Hut over the weekend because I was feeling nostalgic about Star Wars in general. Both scenes were iconic in their own right, and it's great to have them memorialized in LEGO form.This set is priced correctly at $15. Even though the set has 250+ pieces, most of the pieces are identical and the build itself is fairly repetitive and simplistic. With that said, compared to a lot of sets at this price point, you get a lot of bang for your buck.The design of the set is solid, which is in essence a solid ring formation that represents an android surgical suite. And the play feature of putting on Darth Vader's helmet as he completes his journey to the Dark Side is an absolute treat. The set comes with three minifigures (two versions of Darth Vader) and a retinue of loyal droids.Treat yourself to this set at its awesome discounted price!

I have been seeing this one for a while and was never interested until I saw it on the Cyber Monday sale at a price I couldn't refuse. Basically it's just a little scene that's nicely done for what it is, but is pretty limited in scope and play value. I think the trouble is that while the transformation and helmet features work well, after you've transformed your nicely printed and detailed, burned and chopped up Darth Vader into suited Vader and applied his helmet, there's not much left to do but get angry about Padme and send the droids flying. The droids look nice and they're built pretty well, so they can take it.But what then? There's not much left to do with this location after running through all of the features.It would make a nice medical chamber beyond the transformation, but the set itself has a pretty big footprint and an awkward shape so it will be a bit challenging to incorporate it into further adventures. It's nice that it comes with the droids and an exclusive set of Vader figures, but there's not a whole lot more to dig into. I think this works best by itself as a small display or as part of a pretty large scene where a large medical bay will fit (maybe with some added detailing) I definitely wouldn't pay retail price for it, but if you can pick it up at a significant discount it's pretty cool.

I saw this set while browsing the other day, and had to have it. I don't normally collect anything from Episodes I - III, but I had to make an exception for this set. That iconically terrible scream Noooo!!!, is something I laugh at constantly and the fact that it was added to Jedi in the new Blu Rays was insanity. Owning this was a must.It also doesn't hurt that this is officially the best Vader I have. He is very detailed in this set compared to older versions, and I like that you can remove the helmet and the mouth piece remains. The set itself did not take too long to assemble and was pretty straight forward with 2 labeled bags and easily read instructions. I think it is also pretty good touch that there is a mechanism for putting Darth Vader's helmet on. It works well, and that extra detail makes this set really fun.

I managed to get the older Darth Vader Transformation (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007LXW2U/) back when it first came out with Revenge of the Sith's theatrical release. While that one was fun, it was... lacking... even at the time. But it was the first time I got a Darth Vader minifigure, so I was happy.Then my cousin stole the minifigs...Never did get them back, but I think at that point I had grown tired of the set itself and tossed the pieces into the main collection. So I saved up and got another set with Vader in that one, though I do not recall which one.When I saw this one, however, I knew I had to get it. For everything. The new Darth Vader helmet, the play of it, the Emperor, the new lava-burned Anakin (the old one was basically Anakin without a hairpiece. This one has silver legs, most likely to mirror his reconstruction) and even the cool new tool molds, in pearl silver to boot. Couple with the fact that you can faithfully recreate the final scene of RotS, this definitely is better to the original in every way.
