LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader 75111

I've always avoided these figures because of my childhood obsession with Slizer/Bionicle in 1999. Some 18 years later I finally cave and purchase Darth Vader, because let's face it, this is the pinnacle of lego technic models. Affordable and very cleverly designed, I was not let down - friends have told me this is the future basis for which all figures are designed and after building it, I feel that's true. For kids, he has some excellent play value and the poses are wonderful for the imagination. For adults, well, his cape is excellent in quality but not as big and impressively mounted on the shoulders as the box image would lead us to believe. Like Grievous, you just need to make your own if you really want to go all out. It's funny though, I never noticed how skinny vader's legs are since he's always shrouded in his cloak.

My kids loves legos. Instructions were age appropriate and kept them busy for hours.

Darth Vader is my third Star Wars Lego figure for my kids. In comparison between Jango Fett and Commander Cody, Vader is much more detailed. His kit has many more pieces. However, many of the pieces are used to make the frame of the body. On the clone trooper and Jango, there is an “H” piece that takes the place of many of the smaller components that Vader uses. The body pieces are where Vader shines. He has armor pieces on the back of his legs and his body pieces are much more detailed. I was a little disappointed with the level of detail on Jango and the clone trooper. Vader has the level of detail that I was looking for. My only disappointment is that the armor pieces stop Vader from being as movable and they make him look a little different. The other figures can be posed in more positions. Pros: • Larger about 1 inch taller • More detailed body pieces • Back side of figure is more complete Cons: • Not as posable - looks a little different Darth Vader makes a great kit. I had to help my 6 year old daughter make him, but she can put the pieces back on that sometimes pop off. He can stand up to kid play. I would recommend him along with any of the other figures.

This is only my second Lego build able figure but by far my favorite. The build is very intricate and satisfying. The level of detail and prints on shielding are great. The figure has great posability although slightly top heavy. I live the Cape and the ability for Vader to hold lightsaber with both hands. The helmet sculpt is very good. I have him displayed with regular vehicle sets. I didn't but him at $29.99, but at $21.99 I'm very pleased. This build may be a little difficult for children under 7, but 7+ will enjoy the build and play possibilities.

This was a fun figure to construct. Vader looks great with other Star Wars characters and he's a pretty good size considering his price. He's got lots of black panelling covering up the main body and the bits that look odd are covered up by his cape. The lightsaber is cool and I wish it had some way to clip on to Vader's belt but other than that small nitpick, this was a great figure. Lego really has come a long way. I would recommend this to anybody that likes Star Wars.

Really fun to build with my son

I have several of these figures and this has been the best one out of the ones that I have. The others came with a pre-made torso, but this one takes nearly 80 pieces just to build the dense torso. It feels like it was much more thought out and better quality than the rest in the lineup. I wish the others had the same build quality. I wouldn't mind paying the 10 dollars extra that this one cost to have the extra torso pieces. the other ones are still great though and I plan to try and collect them all! I attached a photo of Luke Skywalker getting a piggy back ride from his father lol

I seen this new Lego Darth Vader at my local Wal-Mart, but didn't have the money at the time to get it. So I order it later from amazon and he got here today. Took less then 30 minutes to put together. I bought the original Darth Vader back when he came out in 2002. I have to say this is lot more pose able and looks even cooler than the first Darth Vader. So if your a fan of Lego or Star Wars, this set is the way to go.
