Imperial Star Destroyer (2006)
The iconic designs of Star Wars are as such that they crop up again and again in Lego’s line—the constant desire to do new versions, new scales, experiment to improve on what came before. The Star Destroyer is a daunting prospect, because do you go for sheer size, like the UCS version, do you go for something smaller but more playable as a model (like the upcoming set releasing as part of the 25th anniversary celebrations this summer), or do you go for a playset vibe?
The 2006 Star Destroyer is kind of a mix of all three, and really works quite well—it’s big, it’s a great model, and it opens up to give you a bunch of play opportunities.
