Amazon.com Product Description This Star Wars toy is definitely more than meets the eye! Teaming up Star Wars and Transformers, Hasbro has created a Darth Vader figure that morphs into the infamous Death Star space station. Recommended for ages five and up, the Star Wars Transformer Deluxe Death Star is a fun new addition to any Star Wars collection. 
A push of a button prompts Darth Vader to repeat famous lines from the movies. View larger. |  | What We Think Fun Factor: 
Durability:  (what this means)
The Good: Action figure with push-activated talking and sound effects
The Bad: Death Star has fragile construction
In a Nutshell: Robot toy combines Star Wars and Transformers | At a Glance Ages: 5 and up Requires: 3 AAA batteries (included) |  | | 2-In-1 Toy with Sound Effects When opened up, this amazing 2-in-1 toy instantly becomes Darth Vader--wielding weapons, warriors and the force to do battle against the Rebel Alliance. With some crafty reconstruction, however, this fearsome figure becomes the equally evil, planet-destroying Death Star. As the battle station, the toy features compartments from which TIE fighter aircrafts can fly, and in which miniature figures and Vader's detachable cape can be stored. For fighting on a smaller scale, the toy comes with three fighter planes seven "mini-figs" include and 1-inch tall versions of Darth Vader and three Storm Troopers. A translucent green missile launches from an opening in the Death Star as well as from Darth Vader's gun. Of course, Vader wouldn't be complete without his signature red Lightsaber, which generates realistic Lightsaber sound when placed in his right hand. Another button on the figure's stomach prompts famous Vader lines from the Star Wars movies. Transforms In 25 Steps Stars Wars and Transformers fans alike will enjoy the challenge of reconfiguring the Deluxe Death Star. It takes 25 steps to transform Darth Vader into the Death Star (and vice versa). For the first few times you take these steps, we highly recommend that you use the easy-to-follow visual instructions in the booklet -- otherwise, you might be doing a lot of back-tracking, which can be frustrating. After you've mastered the moves a few times, transforming this vehicle and figure will be a breeze. While Darth Vader's black plastic body is sturdy, the Death Star shell is thinner, lighter and more fragile with many pivoting and rotating pieces. In general, this toy should be treated with more care than most other "boy toys." The Deluxe Death Star is fun for young kids and grown-up kids, but with small parts that could be choking hazard, it should be kept away from children under three years old. 
Darth Vader can transform into a Death Star figure in 25 steps. View larger. |

Collector's Item December 2, 2008 J. Tomlinson I don't know why anyone in their right mind would buy this particular Transformers toy for a child. It's definitely not a toy they'd be interested in, even if they think they might be. They'd be better off with one of the smaller ship models they've put out. I bought this one for my 22 year old husband for Christmas last year. He collects all things Star Wars. It took him about 45 minutes to transform it the first time, and since then it only takes him 10 minutes or so. It mostly sits on a shelf at our house, and really, we got what we paid for. I really don't think children would care much for this toy.
14 year old reviews death star June 25, 2008 Geek Mom (Boxborough, MA USA) Anyone who has successfully transformed any of the other 2 transformers planets might find this easy. Anyone else will have trouble transforming this toy the first few times. pieces can come off but will snap back in. I would not recommend this for anyone who is under 7 or gets frustrated easily. I am 14 and found this easy to transform. the only part that does not fit into the death star is the light saber of Darth Vader. The missile fires from Darth Vaders hand or from the death star. I think the toy is cleverly designed. S.T.

I am 6 years old, my mom is typing this and my dad is trying to turn it into the Death Star mode and he's having a very hard time doing it. It snaps off all the time, the plates won't join and Darth Vader keeps saying things, that are aggravating!!! However, I still like this toy and want to play with it soon.
Help me Obi Wan (helpful tips to assemble death star) January 24, 2008 B. Nethercutt (Nashville, NC) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Yes, this almost drove me to drink!! Getting the death star created is a royal pain. Thanks to Andrew for his helpful hints review. A few more suggestions. Mine went along pretty well until I got to the arm pieces. *Vader's arms need to be close to his side. I put the pieces on his biceps in first. Make sure his hands are turned thumbs up and pushed down as far as possible. The other piece (the hinged piece) should fold in without much resistance. If it doesn't slide flush, look in through the top (Vader's head) and you can see if his hands are in the way. *On the pieces above the missle launcher, there are some connectors that swivel. You don't need them, but make sure they are pointed down and out of the way. *With the final 2 pieces, the one on the left has to go on first (if you are looking at the back of the toy (part with the battery compartment)). Good Luck and May the Force be with you (but not too much force or it'll break apart).
For rocket scientists only! January 14, 2008 Marcia A. Wilson (Louisiana) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
It looks great coming out of the box. Darth Vader is amazing. Then you decide you want to see it as the Death Star...this is where you need more than the directions can provide. I'm thinking of hiring and architect to see if they could help us figure it out. I would not recommend it for those who aren't ummm, how should I say, extremely mechanically inclined.
