I bought this for my 8 year old for Christmas - and it was the best Christmas ever! My son loves Lego Star Wars and spends hours and hours entertaining himself with the various sets. He had been dreaming about this Lego set ever since it was presented in the catalog - which he studies regularly.
This is the ULTIMATE Lego Star Wars entertainment weapon of mass satisfaction. Building it took 3 days and occupied every flat surface in our living room / dining room. The best part was that the instructions are set up so that the different rooms / levels are completed one at a time. So we'd build for a while, play for a while, continue building etc. The prison block is very cleverly done. Everyone in the family participated so it was a wonderful shared experience.
Yeah, it's wicked expensive, but I figured it is a once in a life time experience, and this lego set exceeded all expectations. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow. Though at a certain point, you have to stop building and sort the pieces by color / type or you will lose your mind trying to find all the pieces.
One small complaint - we couldn't find about 8 - 10 pieces. Perhaps 4 were because we used the wrong pieces at the wrong time (based on pieces left over). But there were a few missing pieces which we had to scrounge from our Lego inventory on hand. But all the critical / unique pieces were all there, and anyone taking on this project should have a certain amount of Lego experience prior to making the attempt.

Outstanding Lego product. My seven year old saved for over a year to buy this himself. It is worth every penny and for him every "little" toy and sweet he couldn't buy while saving for this. After reading other reviews, I decided to keep a long to see how many hours it would take for him to complete this set. The grand total was 18 hours over a 4 day period. The only help received was separating the pieces once a bag was opened, the time to do that is counted in those 18 hours. He found the directional booklet (which is HUGE) easy to follow. The piece itself is amazing, the level of detail, the amount of places in which to re-enact movie scenes, the number of minifigs, makes this Lego at their very best. My son says he'd buy it again if he didn't have it. Truly worth the amount it costs. I would HIGHLY recommend this to any Lego, Star Wars fan or collector.

I hardly ever write reviews but I felt that I should for this AMAZING set from Lego. I purchased this set in Sept 2009 for my 2 children (10 and 5) and my adult husband child. :) They spent 3-4 months building the set. Both girls and my DH worked on it day after day for an hour or two. It was sooooo much fun for us all to see it all come together. My 5 year old was able to help as well as the instructions (in giant size spiral bound color foldover books) were very easy to understand. The drawings are as clear as they are in other, smaller LEGO sets. The family bonding over this set was priceless.
What surprised me the most is that it captured the imagination of my 5 year old little girl and to this day (October 2010), she still plays with the Death Star pretty much every day! She makes up stories and characters and combines them with other Lego sets (like the Lego Castle Mideaval Market -- another great set!). The deathstar sits to this day on our breakfast nook table and the kids run up to it at random moments and play for 30 minutes to an hour just like that. Priceless! No other toy has EVER captured my daughters' imagination like this kit! I cannot recommend it enough.
By the way, yes there are some missing pieces here and there (maybe about 5-10 pieces total) so we either worked around it or went online to lego.com and Lego sent us replacement pieces for free within 3-4 days. No problem! A set with this many little pieces will have a few missing but trust me, you won't be able to tell! I purchased my set on Amazon.com for $399 with free shipping and no tax, which was a better deal than the Lego.com website. It arrived brand new in a HUGE box and the pieces were separated into small plastic bags that were sealed and easy to find for each part of the Death Star. Very organized! You will need a BIG table to keep the project going though so be prepared to donate about 1/2 of a dining room table worth of space to this huge set!
