Lambda class shuttle - Ultimate Collector Series #10212

This is one my favorite UCS sets.  For being a fighter sized vessel, this set is one of the bigger UCS sets, at over 2500 pieces.


It looks big when it is built also.  As you can see in the picture below, it takes up a good part of my kitchen table.

This set comes with 5 mini figures.  4 of them can fit in the cockpit, and in the picture below, I have the stormtrooper mini figure just standing below the shuttle.  

The wings have to be folded up when resting on it's landing gear, and can be deployed in flight mode when on it stand.   A display plaque with information about the Lambda class shuttle snaps on the front of the stand.

It is fun to build, but it can also feel kind of repetitive when building the wings, as each wing is made up of a lot of pieces and you have to build two of them.  The set comes with four instruction books and each of the wings take up about a whole book up instruction to put together.

In my opinion, this particular UCS set is one of the more impressive sets to display after it is built.
