User Submitted LEGO Star Wars V-19 Torrent ReviewsDate: 2008-11-17 V-19 Torrent Good fun to assemble, but a bit fragile when it's together. Very clever mechanism. Date: 2008-10-19 Great Set! Of all the Lego Star Wars sets I own, this is the best by far. Pros, I love how the landing gear come down and the wings go up in synchronized motion. Very fun set to play with, semi-challenging to build. Cons, The wing-mounted missile launchers don't shoot very far. It's a bit pricey for what you get. All in all, I think this set is worth $45, not $55. But still a must have for all LEGO Star Wars fans! Date: 2008-09-28 Exciting build, fun ship, but be careful! My (almost) 9-year old grandson (an expert Legos man) built this set in a few hours. Building the ship requires careful attention to detail as it is easy to make mistakes. An example would be installation of the engines: If the wing extension pistons are not fully closed (retracted) when snapping the engines in place, then the wings will not deploy properly requiring some disassembly. But, that's where the educational part comes in. One negative note: The wings are heavy and are not adequately secured to the wing roots. The wing root pins insert into two bushing pieces that do not have sufficient attachment/adhesion area to hold the heavy wings on the ship during anything more than careful play. Boooo! Would buy this set again? Yes! Advice: But, buy this set ONLY for older Legos builders more interested in the building phase than the play phase. Date: 2008-09-01 grate!!! I love this set because when you movie the back wing the landing gear goes up to other wings go down. Date: 2008-08-03 V-19 Torrent review. (I couldn't think of a better title! :( I really liked this set, mainly because of the moving wings, but also the simplicity and ease of modifing it. I like to make very small modifications whenever I get a new Lego set. The modification I made was this: On the part of the middle wing where it connects to the main body, there is a Lego TECNIC-style piece that when the wings are extended, (As shown on the box), it should touch the bottom of the main body. But unfortunatly it doesn't quite go all the way like it should. So I put in one of those blue pieces that snap into a TECNIC piece and you can attach a normal Lego piece to the part that sticks out. You put one of those in the TECNIC piece on the hinge, and when you unfold the wings, it will snap into the bottom of the main body. The only reason I rated 1 star on education was because you don't see them in many classrooms in the U.S. It is a very cool set, though.
