5.0 out of 5 stars I have to disagree- excellent toy!, December 26, 2006

I am writing to disagree vehemently with the previous reviewer. Perhaps her son is too young? My son is 5 and he plays with his hasbro star wars toys almost every day and is pretty rough with them. The pieces just snap right back on if they pop off. I am very impressed with the durability and the detail on this toy. Also, I want to add that I have contacted Hasbro customer service about a game that we have and they could not have been nicer and promptly sent replacement parts free of charge.

I bought this for my son as a gift for Christmas when he was still 4. He loves space ships and still plays with it at least once a week. I bought him the Y-Wing Fighter for his 5th birthday and we play together 1-2 nights a week with me being one space ship and him being the other one. Both space ships have been extremely durable and have an amazing amount of detail. The wings come off as a way to prevent causing permanent damage to the space ship if it gets stepped on or dropped. It is also fun to take one off on purpose to pretend the space ship has been damaged and needs to be fixed.

OK, the wings stay on like a loose tooth the first month, after a few 1000 wing attachment tries - these wings flop everywhere. I used to like this toy because it looks cool, but my 5 yo son is always fixing it, I get depressed just watching him waste his life fixing another garbage Hasbro Star Wars toy - and don't give me that line "Well the wings are designed to break away..."

Kids toys should be made to take a beating. Period. I don't like the pc belief that these toys are actually designed to break - I mean, is a kid going to be killed if they screw on the wings??? Most likely 99% of them would enjoy this toy more.

I hate the fact that fans let Hasbro get away with murder by dishing out Star Wars toys that fall apart. Thank God Hasbro isn't in the parachute business...but Star Wars fans would probably still buy them while plummeting to their death...

Lego at least gets Star Wars right.
