The minimal amount of greeblies, a term that was coined in the Star Wars universe, but one that is well emplyed by the LEGO Star Wars design team, means that the model isn’t encumbered by a heavy amount of small elements. He also felt that the thought behind the design was very apparent with everything lining up wonderfully, was surprisingly strong and the portrayal of the engine thrust nozzles were well done, though the flattened base made it look like the hull been run across by a belt sander.īuilding the mirrored upper hull section was a bit monotonous, but the overall raked angle and the plate-thick tiers set the tone and gave the finished construction a midi-scale appearance that belied its minifigure nature. This was, says Matt, not only fun but very interesting. The assemblage of the superstructure eschewed the tried-and-tested Technics triangle and relied on building the bottom hull plates first. Our resident builder, Matt, took up the challenge to put this set together for Rebelscum’s readers and shared his thought on the construction, which opened with a favourable comment on the surprisingly low number of bags – considering the size of the finished model – and the different elements contained in them. Getting back to the set in hand, 75190 First Order Star Destroyer is 1416 pieces of detail, play and at 22″ (56cm) long and 12″ (32cm) wide and 5″ (14cm) high it has a serious amount of shelf filling displayability. If you want one of those you’ll need a good recipe plus lots and lots of bley bricks. That honour goes to a Mega-class Star Dreadnought – the Supremacy – which is so stupendously large that eight of these Resurgent-class Star Destroyers can use it as a parking lot.
Likewise, the LEGO version (though not twice the length of minifig-scale Star Destroyers) is one of the more imposing sets from the The Last Jedi collection, and Rebelscum thought it was time to look at most recent big, wedge of grey cheese to be added to the Star Wars galaxy before it gets retired from the fleet.įirst things first, despite the inclusion of the first-ever Supreme Leader Snoke minifigure, this isn’t Snoke’s flagship.
This version of the Old Empire’s iconic Star Destroyer is – at twice the length of its progenitor – the mainstay of the First Order’s navy and serves as a symbol of awesome power.
Released during Force Friday (September 1st through 3rd, 2017) as part of The Last Jedi selection of LEGO Star Wars sets, 75190 First Order Star Destroyer formed the vanguard of the movie’s LEGO merchandise assault.
