Overall:
This set is really nice. And you have more functions, which you didn't see at first blush.
Especially nice are two new minifigures. The 'Senate Guards' have nice helmets, which are really adapted to the movie-version.
The 'Palpatine' have this new nice tan-hairs and the same head as the 'Imperator', just in flesh.
The whol ship measures abput 45cm and is similar to the 'Star Destroyer' of 2006.
Marks:
Parts: 9/10 [some new really useful parts, like the new big tile:]
Minifigures: 8/10 [The two really new figures have a great adapted CloneWars-style, bur for such a expensive set-five figures are to less]
The Build: 10/10 [No problems. Easy to understand]
Price: 6/10 [A bit too high for the quantum of parts and figures]
Overall: 9/10 Points
So I hoped that you liked it. And I'm sure some of you have already some questions left--so feel free to ask tem!
