LEGO10227

Good for the money

Cuando estaba a medio montar descubrí que venía repetida la bolsa número 9 y faltaba la número 6. Después de varias llamadas conseguí contactar con el vendedor del modelo y gracias a su esfuerzo conseguí completar el modelo. No conseguí acabarlo del todo ya que las distintas partes no se ensamblaban con la firmeza suficiente. En consecuencia, lo desmonté y lo guardé en bolsas.

Wenn man Kinder hat, wird man irgendwann den Satz sagen: "Finger weg, Ihr habt Euer eigenes Lego!" Der B-Wing ist kein Spielzeug, sondern ein Ausstellungsstück. Es ist zum spielen zu instabil. Aber es macht wirklich Spaß. Man fühlt sich wieder wie ein kleiner Junge. Auch wenn man mittlerweile etwas geordneter rangeht. Bei knapp 1500 Teilen ist das auch nötig. Typisch für Lego versteht die Anleitung jeder halbwegs intelligenter Schimpanse. Und die verschiedenen Teilstücke werden in seperaten Tüten geliefert, was die Suche nach den Teilen doch sehr vereinfacht.Es hat echt wunderbare 10 h gedauert, dieses Ding aufzubauen.Der Bausatz kam pünktlich an, es gab keine Probleme mit dem Verkäufer. Es war alles wunderbar.

I am a very big fan of lego's star wars Ultimate collectors series (UCS) models. On the other hand I own only a few other Lego models and no other Star Wars models. The thing to remember about UCS is that they are designed to be very large detailed models for those demanding faithful reproduction of their favorite Star Wars ships. They are not designed to be played with by little kids. With those two things in mind we move on to the Pros and Cons.Pros:Lego has thought this UCS out well, the assembly instructions are very easy to follow along with the fact that they numbered the bags breaking up the build into easy to manage steps. You can open one part pack, build that part then take a break without having a bunch of loose legos to worry about losing. Or you can easily split up the build between multiple people turning it into a family project without having everyone dig through a big pile of Legos.The level of detail on this model is very well done, with the fully rotating cockpit to the engine assembly. The other thing that was done well is the level of scale over the whole model. Everything is in the right scale to it's self, and nothing appears to be oversize or undersized which is a problem with Lego's smaller B-wing model.Over all size, this model is huge at 26" from gun pod to cockpit and 15" wide with the s-foils deployed. This thing gets noticed by people looking at it. It is much larger then contemporary plastic models and looks just as good even if its made out of legos.Cons:At the current cost of $200 it is expensive to buy. Previous lego UCS around this number of parts (1487) have retailed for less than $150, while the Imperial Shuttle (10212) with 2,503 pieces retailed for $250, though it is cheaper than LEGO® Star Wars Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter (10215) currently $124 at 676 pieces. You are paying around 14 cents a Lego.Poor design of the cockpit canopy, it is only held in place by a supporting ring and is not snapped into anything so it rattles a little bit when you pick the model up and move it around. Also Lego could have covered the bottom of the S-foils with smooth plates like they covered the top of the S-foils.SummeryOver all I found the model well worth the money and a great display piece next to my UCS y-wing, snow speeder and imperial shuttle. To me, I am all about detail and size and this model gives both of those in spades. These new UCS look better than the old ones that lego has made and they are much easier to assemble, and they also hold up better. In the end this model is definitely a five star toy for those Star Wars fans that also like Legos. For me, the only type of legos Star Wars models to own are the UCS. The other models just don't have the detail that I want. If you have older kids that are into static models then this would be a good choice for a family present. This is a Lego for those that want a very large detailed model of a Star Wars B-wing, if that's what you want than you shouldn't be disappointed with this at all.

Steht bei mir mitten im Wohnzimmer und bin voll zufrieden damit

What's not to like? The B-Wing was one of my favorite starfighters from the X-Wing video game series, and to have it get the "star treatment" from LEGO in the form of an Ultimate Collector's Series set is just great.The set is highly detailed and very true to the design of the ship, down to the independently rotating cockpit module. The set is built in four major sections: the engine block, the primary wing, the cockpit, and the smaller secondary wings. The main wing and cockpit tower connect to the engine section with technic pins, and the smaller wings with six, toothed connections, which allows them to fold.Being a UCS set, it's not really designed to be played with, unless it's a bigger kid. The model is 26" long by 15" wide, so it's very sizeable. It looks awesome on my shelf.Overall, it's fun to build, and one awesome looking ship. If you're a Star Wars fan, or a fan of the X-Wing computer games, this is a must. 5/5.
