Wasn't shelling out 1k for the Death Slice, but I was happy to be able to snag a Star Wars set on October 1 all the same. I was not disappointed. The build was fun, the value of what you get for what you pay is definitely there. On display the set looks great. The little details inside and out just make it a great set for Christmas display. If I have one critique, I'd have loved to have a gingerbread AT-AT driver & snowtrooper. The Vader that is included is top tier though. When Lego is good, it's real good. This is real good.
My son found out about this set about a month ago, so I bought it October 1st and suprised him with it. He loved it, the only thing was he though it was a little bigger. Great quality as usual for Lego.
