Why Is The Lego Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer For Ages 16+?
Surely a 10 year old can have as much fun/trouble with this as a 16 yr old. Is this a marketing trick?A typo?http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/im…

To be honest I agree with the manufacturer – something with the power to destroy stars should be restricted to older children.
My guess for the main reason that the Lego Imperial Star Destroyer (Lego item 10030) is marked for ages 16+ is that it is really huge – over 3,100 pieces and is more than 3 feet long. It could be that a project this big might be a lesson in patience for ten year old but perhaps a teenager would be more patient, or less likely to lose pieces. It could also be that 3,100 legos might actually be heavy for some ten year olds to lift – when moving the box or the finished assembly. Because the set is so big and heavy, building it requires properly building the load-bearing structure on the inside to hold it all together (it’s still made out of legos). I think it also uses some Technic type pieces, which are a step up from regular Lego bricks).
The Lego Death Star II is also marked as 16+ – probably for the same reason – it has more than 3,400 pieces. Some of the other Lego Ultimate Collector Series Star Wars sets are marked 14+ (Y-Wing and AT-ST).
They also set higher age suggestions on these items so that people don’t confuse them with the Star Wars lego kits designed for 7-12 year olds that perhaps have a tenth as many pieces.
A ten year old who is accomplished with Legos could enjoy these complicated sets as much as a teenager. However it might not make for a good “first” Lego kit for a ten year old.
Because when you’re not looking it swears at you’re kids and has a quick smoke. And it wears a hoodie and hangs around shopping centre’s on its day off.
Coz you can’t have a driver’s license til you are 17. Also, sadly, there are a lot of 30-somethings that would buy this, and keep it for themselves………
because it takes forever to make and would be tricky too.
most probably because it has ‘choking hazards’ and is very difficult to make. Stupid screwed up health and safety laws!!!!
Great-hope u mean different game than i bought-cause mine is wrapped already
BECAUSE T AS GUNS IN IT
because a younger kid might use it to destroy a Lego star.
well there are 2 major reasons for this
1) a thing called a “star destroyer” may send the wrong message across 2 younger kids definitely not the thing to get your kid for xmas
2)besides the ever present danger of choking small kids might find it difficult an be bugged at it u no throwin pieces everwere stamping on it etc
i dont no wy im anserin ur question
Laser beams are too dangerous for younger kids.
