The first two instruction booklets guides you through the building of the base of the ship, the cockpit, and the upper stabilizer fin. The instructions are pretty clear although it gets pretty repetitive meaning you have to practically build the same things but opposite. One thing I have to say is there are a lot of Technic pieces for ship. Like I mentioned before, try to build the Imperial Shuttle in an open space as you will be working from many different piles of bricks and you don’t want them to get mixed up. ![]() The Stormtrooper is the same as seen in many other sets. The Imperial Officer is in all gray distinguished by the rank on his uniform. The Imperial Pilot is in all black, which I think this is the only set that he appears in with this version. Luke is in his black Jedi knight attire with a black right hand. The Darth Vader is the same version as in the Millennium Falcon set. The set comes with five minifigs which are, Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Imperial Pilot, Imperial Officer, and a Stormtrooper. There are four instruction booklets included in a polybag with a cardboard backing so the booklets wouldn’t get wrinkled. I recommend a big table to spread out the pieces when assembling because there will be at least ten different piles. The bricks come in many bags, and when I say many, I mean many! The bags aren’t numbered but are organized very well. The set includes 2503 pieces and retails for $259.99, which is at $0.09/piece. Not really wanting to spend that much on a LEGO set but it was a deal that I couldn’t pass up. To my delight, there was a sale on for the LEGO Star Wars Imperial Shuttle. For those of you that do not know how to order from LEGO's pick a brick website: Just search it on your browser and enter the part numbers for the pieces that you will be ordering.Around Christmas 2011, I was looking around different sites to see if there were sales going on at that time. If you really wanted to take advantage of that free shipping, you could pretty much order every part from and then the remaining 13 or so different parts that are not available on the lego’s pick a brick would be a small bricklink order or two you could make. You will likely save hundreds of dollars using my suggestion. There are some parts that are not available on and you can order those from bricklink. Lego has a pick-a-brick selection that you can order from your computer. But I would highly encourage you to order most of the light grey parts from as they will pretty much be a cheaper price than bricklink. ![]() The 4 main parts you should order from the lego website are all in light stone grey: 2x4 brick, 2x8 brick, 2x2 curved slope, and 2x4 curved slope (you need a very high amount of those pieces for this moc). A lot of the parts, especially those in light-bluish gray will be very expensive on bricklink. If you wanted to see more images of how the UCS Imperial Shuttle looks on the landing pad, there are two more images in the link below: The dimensions are: 96 cm (length) x 52 cm (width) x 58 cm (height) In studs, the dimensions are: 120.8 x 65.6 x 73.5 _ Please read the following information if you are planning on building this model. You can find those instructions from the official lego website. Also, the shuttle, walker, and minifigs seen in the photos are not included in the instructions or parts list. I didn’t make the outline with bricks because it would have looked too blocky. I would recommend making and printing some stickers to try to recreate the 2 yellow outline circles that are supposed to be on the landing pad. Although, the UCS shuttle does fit nicely on the landing pad as well. This landing pad is made to go along with the official play-scale size star wars sets that LEGO has released, such as the AT-AT walker, TIE fighter, and Imperial Shuttle. The endor landing pad from Return of the Jedi.
