Fun build, great display piece

This is clearly a display piece only. However you can customize what you see and move the mini-figs where you want. If you can find it and afford it, get it. However make sure you have space for it. It's rather large. Great job Lego!
I am new to Lego building (just started 6 months ago) but have built close to 150 sets. I do mainly city, modular, icons, and Star Wars. The directions on the Lego site download often do not match what is in the provided instructions. The set is frail as can be as if you push to hard trying to build the set, bottom pieces will pop out. Now for the missing parts. Almost every bag (on bag 26 and waiting for a part to come in) is missing some sort of piece. I have a vast excesss of pieces so have been able to cover most but unacceptable to have this many pieces missing in a 600 set. Would not recommend to anyone this set.
Set came packaged very well and the 4 instruction manuals were very consistent over the different parts of the ship making it easy to follow along. Did have a few pieces missing on one of the back landing gear covers, but got the replacement parts shipped instantly. Overall a great building experience plus the fact that the windshield and cockpit can be pulled out for access beneath the cockpit. The escape pod is also handy expect it isn't backwards compatible meaning it can only fir in one direction. Plus three hatches two on each side and the rear hatch for hull access. Overall quality great and not to many loose pieces either. Would highly recommend to experienced builders.
I’m an adult collector and have six UCS sets. Crest, Falcon, Slave 1, snow speeder, a-wing, y-wing. The Crest slightly edges the falcon as my favorite. The most important aspect to me is correct proportions. Slight flaws in proportions tend to bother me much more than they should. To be fair, Lego is a difficult medium for accuracy and in general, the design team does a great job. But the Crest in my view is on another level. It’s the first official Lego UCS set which far surpasses any MOCs I’ve seen. Getting all these different angles to look sleek and clean is so impressive to me. The beefy engines however, are what truly make it great. Lego easily could have rationalized sizing the engines down a touch to save on budget but I’m so glad they didn’t compromise. It may have made the set more expensive but I’m happy to pay extra for better accuracy. I hope Lego continues to put Cesar Soares on the UCS set projects in the future. (P.S. The interior is also amazing and although I don’t access it often, it’s important to me that it’s there.)
The piece is pretty good and the design is beautiful with intricate detail within the ship. The cons for me is the lack of metallic pieces in the design. Not saying the whole ship needs to be metallic but they could have included some pieces. Another con is that the ship detaches into too many compartments (cockpit, wings, mid section, and end) but lack any bricks to hold them to the structure. I feel like the ship is a bit fragile because the compartments but overall the ship is a great display piece. I can't imagine any kid playing in the inside of the hull without other Lego pieces breaking off. Plus this ship is heavy! I feel like Lego already had a toy version to play with but this version should be more structured as a display rather than an interactive toy.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This build is a beast ! Such a fun build. Interesting techniques on the build. Sadly there is no toilet in the build. Half the weight alone is in the engines. I give this a solid 9 out of 10
only took me 5 days to build and let me tell you it was a fun time each and every step of the way. I do love legos so I guess i'm biased but it was amazing!
I have purchased a few of the UCS and MBS sets, and this one is my favorite out of all of them. The build is great and is very detailed. I hate seeing stickers on a UCS set, but that is my only complaint. Overall a great set.
