As Han Solo said to Chewbacca about the Lambda-class Imperial Shuttle: "I doubt the Empire had Wookiees in mind when they designed her, Chewie." Now you can take designing this infamous member of the Imperial Military Fleet into your own hands.

Check out the video by the official LEGO designer that was in charge of designing this model.

This large scale LEGO model of the elegant Star Wars vehicle has been designed authentically, with several true to the movie details and features. As seen in Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, this commonly used Imperial transport is not your average space shuttle. With two rotating wing laser cannons, this Imperial shuttle is heavily armed enough to transport troops and even the highest ranking Imperial leaders.

The Lambda-class shuttle is the chosen transport for the Imperial elite, such as Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader, and features a tri-wing design, with a stationary central wing and two gear-driven folding side wings that fold up in landing position and fold down when taking off to all sorts of exotic locations across the galaxy. The folding action is controlled by turning two removable activation keys in the rear of the model. You can display this elegant work of Imperial engineering with its wings folded down on the included display stand or with its wings folded up on the removable landing gear. This model also features an opening cockpit roof, so you can recreate your favorite scenes by filling the four person cockpit with Emperor Palpatine and his royal guards or a covert Rebel strike team led by Han Solo en-route to the forest moon of Endor. Or you can create your own exciting scenarios.

This huge 2,503 piece set includes a display stand, name plate and label sheet, and measures 28? (71 cm) tall on stand and 22? (57 cm) wide with wings folded down. Also included are five LEGO Star Wars mini figures: Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Shuttle Pilot, Imperial Officer, and Stormtrooper. Coming this September, this LEGO set will be one of the largest models in the LEGO Star Wars line, with measurements comparable to the huge Millennium Falcon LEGO set.

LEGO 7667 is also known as the Imperial Dropship, and coming with 81 pieces, it is worth ten dollars not including shipping and handling. LEGO 7667 has LEGO Star Wars figures that come with the set - one shadowtrooper and three stormtroopers.

The LEGO 7667 was released in 2008. LEGO 7667 Imperial Starship is a light gunship, used for deploying troopers onto the battlefield. Shadowtroopers and Stormtroopers are the ones who fly the Imperial Starship. The LEGO 7667 features a laser cannon and troop platform. The LEGO 7667 measures 4 inches long, and is a simple way to start building an army. What better way to do so than to collect a pilot and three stormtroopers? In addition, the Imperial Dropship can be easily used for ambush while simultaneously knocking out a few enemies. The Dropship actually drops the soldiers, and only when you want it to.

There are cons, however. The ship is uneven when flying, as a result of not enough stormtroopers. The cockpit piece falls off every now and then, and the helmets fall off. Overall, most of the customer ratings have been a five out of ten. Everything seems to fall off, and the Dropship seems to not have enough room for the guns. It is a good LEGO set because of the boost for your Stormtrooper army.

LEGO Death Star

The new LEGO Death Star 10188 playset was released in September 2008 to wide and well-deserved acclaim. Unlike the previous Death Star 10143, which was primarily designed for diorama use, the 10188 model is designed for playability; it includes 24 minifigures, including six exclusive new figures created specifically for this set. New minifigures and droids available for the first time in this set include Luke Skywalker and Han Solo in Stormtrooper outfits, Assassin Droid, Interrogation Droid, Death Star Droid, and two Death Star Troopers. For the first time, the Dianoga trash monster is also available; this allows recreation of the famous trash compactor scene from Episode IV, including Luke and Leia’s escape from the detention center and slide through the secret hatch.

Boasting 3,803 pieces, the LEGO Death Star 10188 offers four levels of authentic movie settings. Setup is a lengthy process; the spiral-bound instruction book is over 250 pages long, with 193 separate steps to completion. The finished result is nothing short of stunning, however, with removable walls, chairs that spin, and guns that rotate allowing multiple angles of fire from the Death Star death ray lasers. Authentic movie designs from Episodes IV and VI of the Star Wars Saga set the scene for hours of realistic play with this detailed playset. The Death Star features multiple decks which house the Death Star control room, Emperor’s throne Room, hangar bay complete with Darth Vader’s own TIE Advanced Starfighter, Imperial conference chamber, droid maintenance facility, and many other rooms suitable for playing out your favorite scenarios.

When assembled, the LEGO Death Star 10188 weighs about twenty pounds. It is remarkably sturdy for a set of this size and complexity, and stands up to moving reasonably well. There are a few fragile elements on the completed Death Star; the death ray lasers, for instance, are easy to dislodge, and a few small parts may come loose. These are easily replaced, and the overall playset is solid and well designed. Die-hard Star Wars purists may criticize the inclusion of elements from the original Death Star and the Death Star II in one unit, but given the added scenarios these inclusions make possible, this seems more a quibble than a genuine drawback to the set.

Overall, the LEGO Death Star 10188 playset is well worth its price tag; it offers hours of fun, both in building and in playing out your favorite Death Star scenes. The set includes nearly all the central Episode IV and VI characters, making it convenient and easy to portray classic scenes like the Throne Room duel between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. The set is recommended for ages 12 and up.
