Fan Buzz
The reviews for the LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader set are mixed, with some praising the model’s detailing and posability, while others express concern about the pricing and playability. One review by XerxesDGreat highlights the feeling of being “a little ripped off” due to the pricing of the set compared to others, noting, “I can’t help feeling a little ripped off for spending $10 more for fewer pieces.” However, they do express satisfaction with the model, stating “Not disappointed with the model, even though it was more expensive than I felt it should be.” In contrast, KLOKRIECHER praises the playability, movability, and authenticity of the figure, stating, “The figure has movable arms, legs, feet, knees, elbows and hands. Even the head can be moved. Vader also has a lightsaber and a cape. The figure is great to be played with, for sure.” While “alfred_the_buttler” acknowledges the set’s detailing and building experience, they express concern about the durability and playability, mentioning, “While it is fairly durable, I don’t think it would hold up well with my 4-year-old playing with it, and my 2-year-old definitely would destroy it.” These reviews provide a varied perspective on the set, touching on aspects such as the pricing, building experience, playability, and overall satisfaction.
