"I bought a lot more pieces than I actually ended up using in the ship, so if you count those it'd be a lot more.""
I like to think that those pieces are just building up my Lego collection, which did not include many grey pieces before this build," he adds.“The Tyrant has about twenty times the volume of the 75055 Star Destroyer below it,” says Raskolnikov.The Tyrant, pictured next to Lego's own Star Destroyer setBut it gets even better, because while it looks cool from the outside, the inside hasn’t been neglected. Raskolnikov actually built an entire interior with different levels and rooms, all manned by Lego minifigures.“It was a high priority for me to have everything come apart as elegantly as possible,” Raskolnikov explains. “The roof sections retain the correct angle when they are removed, and you can simply lift the superstructure off the ship.”He continues: “The only individual piece that you ever have to remove is a technic axle that secures the bridge. The bridge stays in place without it, but I’m afraid that I’ll bump the ship and send it flying if it’s not secured.”

Excellent kit, but this is around £200 over the list price. Not five stars because this is a much more modular kit, so even a bright 5 year old could build it. A great item, has been well played with.
