The title says it all for my experience with this UCS Star Wars set. It's huge and has a great deal of detail. But for some reason it doesn't display nearly as well as... say the UCS Slave I. First thing i notice is that the way the stand is designed, it has a little give in it which causes the ship itself to lean toward the front a little bit. I'm pretty sure i built the display correct. Or, maybe it is like this intentionally to show the ship banked slightly. I don't know. What i do know is that unless you are displaying this thing at eye level... It blocks your view of the title card stand as well as the minifigs that come with it (assuming you choose to display them on the stand as shown). To me, that kind of detracts from the whole scheme of the UCS theme. SO... I had to do a little correcting on my own and modified the display slightly so that it didn't lean. Yet still it just doesn't stand out like some of the other UCS sets.

That being said. It's still a must have. It appears to be very movie accurate and very well detailed. Aside from the back covers that go over the canons. I'm pretty sure the movie version shows that cover going straight across the back (not indented the way this set is). But to me, that's very minor. The scale is fine with me. The bigger and more detailed the better as far as i am concerned. But don't try putting your minifigs in the cockpit. It'll look like the kids when they sit in the front seat behind the wheel of their parents Ford Expedition.

The build was fun and interesting as usual. Took me the better part of a saturday to put together. I will say this tho.... In most reviews that i watch on youtube of star wars lego sets... Most reviewers tend to not like stickers too much. With this set i finally joined that crowd. Too many stickers.
