This is big, and one of the more impresive UCS Lego sets. It also takes a while to build. The only other UCS Lego set that I have that takes longer to build, is the 10179 Millenium Falcon UCS set. Of course the Star Destroyer is a little over 3,000 pieces and the Millenium Falcon is over 5,000 pieces.
It can be tricky to put this one together on the first try, as it has a tendency to fall apart if you don't hold it just right while you are building it. The whole outer hull is snapped together to the frame at only 12 snapping points, and about 12 magnents also.
This is also the only Lego set I have ever seen that makes use of magnents. After you get it built, it feels like it was worth the time spent on putting it together, but many people probably feel like throwing it against the wall while they are in the contruction process. The age limit for this one is 16+ years of age.
The bridge area is not snapped on the rest of the outer hull. It just sits on the hull, and this is the way it has to be in order to move it if you ever want to, because if it wasn't, it would almost definately come apart before you got to the place you wanted to put it.
