There are four instruction booklets included in a polybag with a cardboard backing so the booklets wouldn’t get wrinkled. The current value for a new and sealed Imperial Shuttle is estimated at 1 126 € with an average yearly gain of about 6%. The wings are pretty easy to build but be prepared to have circle marks on your fingers due to pushing the pins to stabilize the moving pieces. The LEGO Group has been recreating iconic starships, vehicles, locations and characters from the Star Wars universe since 1999.

you get a big set with many white pieces, some figs you already had, but nevertheless a great set with many nice details. On the open market, a used set will fetch in the range of between 665 € and 815 € depending on the condition. This Ultimate Collector's model features an opening canopy, detachable landing gear, a stand for display in flight or landing modes, a labeled display plaque, and gear-driven folding wings with removable activation keys. Having built this design I will admit that it may have been difficult to raise the cockpit or include a boarding ramp, but to be able to have a mini-figure appear to come down the ramp would have really knocked this model out of the park from a displayability perspective.

Some LEGO® sets contain small parts that are NOT suitable for and may pose a hazard to children under 3 years of age. As of today, 10143 Death Star II is the most valuable Ultimate Collector Series set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of 2 703 €. Around Christmas 2011, I was looking around different sites to see if there were sales going on at that time. Other features of the ship is there are a couple of double laser cannons and double blaster cannon near the front. The elegant Lambda-class Imperial Shuttle™ transports the Empire's elite and the occasional secret strike team of Rebel commandos all across the galaxy.

And once again, just like the other Technics sets I've built, the thought that has gone into designing this is amazing and it's HUGE! This again, IMO, detracts from the displayability when showing the model in the landed configuration. This, along with the lack of a boarding ramp, ruins any attempt to recreate the arrival of Darth Vader or the Emperor.

While necessary to operate the wing articulation, they can be removed, although the connection points are still bare interrupting the design of the engine assembly. They do have some swivel, but the mounting location and technique and combination of pieces used prevent them from rotating fully vertical in the landed position. It has sat in my Star Wars room for many years built of of the box, adding LMB light kit totally transforms this set and brings it alive. Board the stolen Imperial Shuttle Tydirium, set the wings for flying mode and race to Endor with Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca and the Endor Rebel Troopers.
