Hawt! Gotta get that one.

Wow, nice writeup. I normally don't buy the big ships, but that might make me change my mind.

That is one mighty-fine ship. Though it doesn't have a mighty-fine price tag...Still...impressive.
God bless,

Svelte's comment concerns me:

Like the 10193 Medieval Market Village before it, the January 2010 Exclusive slot comes as a theme-killing extravaganza, an end-of-world party to beat all others: the enormous 10210 Imperial Flagship is a behemoth unlike anything that has gone before it, and it will be a long time before we see anything like it again.

MMV a theme-killer? I know there's been a discussion of new 2010 sets (or a lack thereof), and I know that the Pirates theme--though "evergreen"--is going to be shelved for a while, but has it been discussed that MMV marks the demise of the castle line? Is it really 'an end-of-world party to beat all others?'

I believe he is trying to say the MMV and IFS are both January exclusives, and the rest just applies to the IFS. At least that is how I read it. We had 3 other castle sets come out in 2009 after the MMV.

That was not what this reviewer meant at all. I'm sure there is no hidden meaning, based on secret information. Its merely a turn of phrase. Its a purposful exaggeration meaning the sets are so big and impressive that there is no need for anything else, as they have it all. To make a long story short, its a joke. Don't worry about it.
