Moff Gideon's Light Cruiser 1336 Pieces Toy Set
Product details
Web ID: 12939560The bottom is bad
The entire set is overall a great Lego set, but it is all completely ruined because of one aspect. The floor. For the front of the set, the main area, the ENTIRE bottom is held by like 4 small plates. slightly touching it makes it fall apart, and it is almost impossible to play with. After a few weeks of fixing the bottom every time, and then one time it got damaged so bad I had to completely rebuild the front half, I decided to add some dark grey plates on the bottom. This fixed the problem, I added them in a way where it looks like it is supposed to look like that. After that, it was very fun to play with my brother. if you want it, make sure you have a few gray plates on hand.

Should have reviewed thoroughly before buying!!!
Bought it for my 11 year sold who is very passionate about his sets but he was very disappointed when the base doesn't hold itself. Even though we used additional pieces to reinforce the bottom, they don't hold well enough. I checked if he assembled incorrectly but there was nothing wrong except for the pieces don't hold well on the chassis. He cannot play with it at all and now he's disappointed for his holidays. We purchased a retired product at additional cost because he wanted this exact one but the disappointment on his face when it falls apart up breaks my heart.

We're sorry to hear that your son was disappointed and had trouble with the sets stability. If your set seems like it's not very sturdy, the best thing to do is double-check your build. Sometimes there may be a piece just a little off from where it should be. You’ll also want to make sure that all the pieces are pressed tightly together. Feel free to reach out to us at LEGO.build/Service-BV if you need assistance!

Amazing fit and stability
This build is extremely sturdy. You don't have to worry about any kind of breaking on the top/bridge part as it is reinforced with technic beams and Is the main handle of the design. The price was not amazing, but for getting an exclusive Moff Gideon minifigure as well as the other ones, It's not a horrible amount to spend. The ship is very complete with plenty of trim pieces and I would definitely recommend. My only complaint is that Fennec Shand does not come with a hair piece, only helmet.

Better than expected
Bought mainly for the mini figures but the ship was a surprising build and looks much bigger in person. The techniques used to build the ship were very interestingly, something a bit different. Looks really nice when built and opens up to show the ship deck. Could have been better if they had added more details to the interior and panels on the outside. Also the rear engines are a bit boring. Would love a UCS version of this set!

Disappointing build quality
The set is great looking and was my son’s favourite Christmas present. However, the underside/floor of the cockpit is horrendously unstable. Bits fall off during light play. I’ve pretty much taken it apart and rebuilt twice with little improvement, and have now resorted to adding extra bricks from other sets to the bottom to strengthen. Time will tell if that works.

Should never have passed QA and went to market
This looked like an awesome build - and for the most part it was (tricky in places, excellent in others) but the front base is so flimsy - if you even look at it falls apart. Originally we thought we had missed something which shored it up etc so we re-built it - 3 times - To no avail - the structural integrity of the front is awful. You cannot play wityh this set at all. I think this has potential as a cracking set but not without a release to sort the build quality - it's not what I expected from Lego.

We'd be happy to take a look with you and try to help figure out why your set won't stay together. Feel free to get in touch at LEGO.build/Service-BV with a call or chat!
Love this set!
I'm so glad I picked up this set, I've had my eye on it for about two years. It looks really great - it's an excellent model with the front closed - and a great diorama with the front open. It's very sturdy and well balanced when picked up. The build process is really enjoyable and not super repetitive. I especially like the way TIE fighters can be dispatched out of the front of the ship. I think at MSRP this set is slightly overpriced but given how good it looks and the minifigures that come with it I would say it's worth it. The only criticism I have with it is that I think it's odd this set doesn't come with a Bo-Katan figure.
