When I saw this set used for $100 with a motor I had to jump on it. It is my largest set, but not by much as I own the similarly sized Tower of Orthanc ( 10237 ) and slightly smaller Tantive IV ( 75244 ).

It's cool to see how the ground is build part by part. When you come to the upper part, it gets a bit boring. You must build many connection elements for the wheel very often. But when the wheel is finally connected to the lower part, a…
This set was a joy to build. It actually challenged me for most of the build time because everything was opposite putting the base together. It was redundant in an way. I am considering getting the power function for it but haven't decided.
