Curses upon LEGO!!
By Joe Del Vecchio
Sometimes I wonder how it is that those shifty geniuses at LEGO perpetually take my hard earned money. Then I come across sets like Lord Vader here, and I'm reminded- because these toys rock. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, there should be little doubt in any of our minds that the greatest minds in the world are not curing cancer or ending world hunger, they're coming up with absolutely perfect LEGO sets like this one to thin our wallets and expand our smiles.From the groovy pearl lightsaber handle (kinda like what C-3PO was molded in, only white)to the astonishing arm mechanisms, this is (dare I say it) the best Star Wars Technic set yet. My, how soft his cape is; the chain, the helmet, the breastplate (that truly rabid collectors will note looks a whole lot like one of the new Bionicle Bohrok pieces... the joy of this set is in the details.Buy one- Buy it NOW! It looks awesome, it plays soooo well, it's a blast to build, and altogether your collection just can't be complete without one.

A great puzzle
By M. Ragen
The Darth structure was hard to evaluate. On the one hand, the construction directions were pretty complicated for this toy -- I was called in for consulting advice more than a few times and, at least once, I was called in to provide some muscle when putting a couple of parts together. There aren't any standard lego blocks in this toy as these are more construction-oriented. On the other hand, the standard Lego kits have become pretty easy for our 10-year old and this provided an extra challenge for him that was worth it. Once built, it's reasonably durable - in our house, it even held together with minor repairs when our 7-year old was curious if it could 'fly' from the bedroom window. I knocked it down a point because it's not very flexible - I thought there should be some range of motion for movement. Overall, I thought that this was a good toy, worth recommending.

By E. Chapa
This figure was the most fun to build. Each major part of Vader (head, arms, etc) is in it's own bag so you don't have to go searching throught multiple places for pieces. His right arm holds his lightsaber that you can move up and down while the left arm can be used for grabbing things.
The book is nicely laid out showing you what part you end up building, step by step instructions for each part as well as scale diagrams of select pieces so you don't use the wrong one(some parts are similar but different lengths).
For kids, it'll probably be best to have an adult help just because of the amount of pieces (around 400) and maybe helping them put the decals that go on the torso at the end.
He's really neat to look at, but his legs don't move. He's great-looking next the stormtrooper :-). For those who love Star Wars and Lego, this is an awesome combination.
