That is the Lego.com reviews I've made. I've recently done about 20, and I didn't really try on the ones that are up now. But my recent ones I think are good. Of course, when you submit a review, it may take up to 72 hours it says

Here's my Death Star review since it's my best set:

"Well, as the title says, no other set that Lego has ever come up with could possibly compare to the amazing features this one has, and the fact that it's that big and is not one of the ultimate collector series sets with no minifigures, makes it even more amazing. To start off, the value for money was well worth it for me, since I got it for Christmas, but even if I did pay for it, this set is worth the money. When I got this set, it came in a box so immense it's as big as my 42 inch television screen or so. Inside were 4 smaller boxes, and the 2 thick instruction booklets. It took me forever to get all the pieces taken out of the bags, as there are around 50 bags I think, probably more. Make sure that you do not miss any pieces when you get rid of the bags, as I missed a black one and thought it had not come with the set. What you should do when you start building this set is separate all the pieces into color, which will take awhile. Then go through and separate those sections into sections by piece. After you have done that, go through the pieces index in the back of the instruction booklet and make sure that all the pieces are there. And just so you know, the gray thing is R2-D2's head, which I could not figure out since they printed no decals on the index part. All these bricks took up my entire dining room table for a few days, and I had to bring in our small card table to build the set on since there was no room. Then I got around to building this immense set, and I received no help in doing. All of this took around 5 days of on-and-off work, so I'd say if you went nonstop 48 hours. When I finished the complete set, I was absolutely amazed at the size. To start from the bottom up in describing the set, the lowest level is basically a basement to the rest of this set. The height barely supports a minifigure, so if you have big hands, its hard to fit anything underneath it. Fortunately 1/4 of it is used as the huge chasm of the room I will describe later, but lets just say there is no ceiling there. On the second level, there is a small room with a platform and a short tower in the middle of it. This is where Obi-Wan shut down the tractor beam in episode IV, and when you pull the tab facing away from the door, the blue "beam" of energy falls down, disconnecting it from the ceiling and in essence turning off the tractor beam. In another room on the 2nd floor, there is a very large gun. It can sit two people on its rotating base, it has 2 different gun parts, and there is a rocket launcher sitting on top of it. I absolutely love the design of this gun, the only bad thing being that if you aggravate it enough, it will disconnect from the base, as there is only 4 studs connecting such a huge thing. In the room adjacent to the gun room, there is a crane with a seat, and a few crates near it. I assume this area is the storage room. In between those two rooms, there is a small gun rack for four of the larger laser guns. On the other wall of this room, there are two doors, both being gotten to by ladders, one higher than the other. This open into the chasm room, which is used for the scene when Luke and Leia were trapped behind a door in episode IV as they were escaping the death star. The ledges from the storage room are traditionally used as the side they swung to. This set even includes the rope for them to swing across. In total, there are four doors opening to this room, two high and two low, one of each on each side. Also in the storage room, there is an elevator which goes up to the third level. The room it enters into is like the docking bay for ships. In it is Darth Vader's personal ship, and although it was made mini to fit inside the bay, if you take Vader's cape off, he can fit inside the ship. Overlooking the bay is a set of glass windows. Behind them is a row of computers and a ledge for imperial officers to overlook the happenings of the bay area. There is a ladder leading up to this ledge. Also with these computers is a small knob which can turn and open the door leading to the bay area. The sliding of this mechanism was designed perfectly. In the room with the ledge is the immense laser of the Death Star. Although in the movies the battle station would simply rotate to aim the laser, to promote playing and so the set stays stationary, you can rotate the laser and cause it to go up and down. This mechanism is made by a few technic pieces. The areas it can move to are of course limited because of the floor and bricks designed to block it from going to far. There is a platform on the base of the laser containing its own set of computers, used to fire the laser. The laser itself is very neat and I love how they made it in that round design, and also the transparent green pieces are very cool. Leading through the door on the other side of this room is the prison room, where Chewbacca, Han Solo, and Luke rescued Princess Leia before her execution in episode IV. There is a set of 5 computers in this room and a swiveling camera on the ceiling like the ones that they shot in the movie. The prison itself has steps leading to it, and if you look at it straight on, gives the appearance that there is really a cell in every opening, when in realism for this set there is only the one that held Princess Leia. The barred wall of this cell opens up to reveal a bed for Leia to lay on, which is accurate to the movie. Outside the cell is a small knob which lifts a door to open the cell. Opposite that is another knob which opens up the hole which leads directly into the garbage chute. There is some "trash" in this area, and there are some spots so that the minifigures can stand. Unfortunately the Dianoga takes up a lot of space in here, so it's difficult to fit it and all 4 figures in it. On the ceiling of this room is a small pole, which when you push in, which compact the walls of the room, accurate to the movie. Of course since a point on each wall is fixed to allow for rotation, so it does not actually compact everything fully. Beneath the ledge where Obi-Wan turned off the tractor beam is a smooth, long brick. Along this is where you pull the door open for the garbage shoot. On the top floor, there is an imperial meeting room like the one in episode IV, and it has 7 swiveling chairs. The table also comes off to reveal a storage area, which is used for guns in this set. Across from this room is more of the repair room. This room contains a small area with tools, a cart which is used to hold a gun, a table with a "magnifying glass", a little bucket to hold things, another little area to hold stormtrooper helmets, and there is a table in the middle. If you lift that table up, you will see a small knob. If you turn that knob, it will rotate the holder for the mini version of the mini tie fighter The last room on the fourth level is actually supposed to be the surface of the Death Star, with two laser guns. The guns can aim up and down from 0-90 degrees, and there is a small pole beneath them to swivel them so they are aiming the same direction. Below this is Emperor Palpatine's throne room. It has the stairs which lead up to his "throne" which should overlook space to be accurate to the movie, but as they wanted everything to be facing inward, the window faces the bay area, which is the perfect position for it. There are also the cool little computer things beside the throne. The area in the room is big enough for Darth Vader and Luke to fight. There is also a small ledge in the room, but it is designed to collapse. At first I thought it was really dumb, but then realized the point of it when I re-watched episode VI and saw that Darth Vader threw his lightsaber at the supports of a ledge while Luke was on it. A nice little feature to this set. There are also two holes in the floor and a bridge crossing them so Darth Vader can throw the Emperor into it, and these lead into the chasm room, so the Emperor has farther to fall, and not into some random room. Also in the repair room is the knob to control the main elevator. This elevator can go to every single level of this Death Star, and for easier placement of figures on it, you can remove the top most piece, the large round one, and it will open up a space while still allowing the elevator to work. If you were a minifigure in this set and the elevator worked, it would be possible to go into every room of this place, they designed the doors leading off from it and to different rooms that well. The only room you would lack access to would be the one which is meant to be on the surface. Above the room with the laser is the room with the knob to control the direction of the laser. There are two stands for minifigures in this room, the center most one having a knob in the middle. This knob controls the lasers height, the platform itself controls its horizontal aiming. On the wall opposite this rooms door is a long black screen. This holds a brick which has stickers having pictures of Alderaan(bad spelling I think) and its location when moving around the moon to shoot at the rebel base, both of these being in episode IV. I love all 24 of the minifigures that came with this set. C-3PO is more gold than he usually is, and all the other figures have more defined features about them. It also contains Ben Kenobi, who hasn't been in any cheap sets recently, so I'm glad I now have him. This is the best set that Lego has ever come up with, and I hope to enjoy more of their products later on"
