Collectors will find this rendition of Boba Fett’s ship from Star Wars: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back to be the best one yet when compared to previous incarnations of Slave I. It’s bigger than the original Lego model (7144), which was released in 2000, and its bricks have truer colors. In addition, this version has about 100 more pieces than the 2002 release (7153) and is offered at a lower price point, plus has a much sturdier chassis. Features of this Slave I include a rotating and self-leveling cockpit and foils, a trap door that opens up to drop space mines, a top hatch that opens and launches a large missile, two side cargo compartments that store and drop rockets, and a cargo rack door that opens to fit a stenciled brick of Han Solo frozen in carbonite (a favorite piece among collectors). Other minifigs in this set include Boba Fett, a Bespin guard (with African-American skin tone), and two new figures--bounty hunters, IG-88 and Dengar--who are not found in any other Lego sets. The 537-piece Slave I takes anywhere from three to five hours to build with some help from the illustrated instructions. The manual also contains a full inventory of all pieces with part numbers in case a piece is lost and builders need to order a replacement. --Cristina Vaamonde

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the coolest Star Wars Lego sets in a long time., August 7, 2007

This review is from: LEGO Star Wars Slave I (Toy)

I have been a Lego fan since I was a child. Adulthood took me away from the fun and enjoy of building Lego sets. However, it took these very collectible, yet fun to build, Star Wars Lego sets to bring me back. I have purchased many sets to add to my collection, but I decided to open and build the Slave I.

Quite simply, this is one of the best Lego sets you can buy, build and play with that I have seen in a long time. The instructions are detailed, and the set will take a few hours to build. When you are done, you will have one large Star Wars ship on your hands, and it will include all the details from Boba Fett's unique ship you remember from the movies.

First, Boba Fett's cockpit and wing panels are connected and rotate when you lift his ship. This makes him oriented in his seat in the correct direction, just like in the movie. There are also several moving parts, like doors to hold weapons, doors to hold what ever you want, doors to reveal missiles, guns that rotate, and a rocket launcher that can fire a missile (and it actually shoots a far distance). The nice thing about the missile system is how Lego hid the launch mechanism inside the structure. All you need to do is pull a black lever and the missile will fire. And that black lever is so well integrated into the Lego model, it looks like it is part of the ship.

You also get some Lego characters, including the man himself, Boba Fett, a frozen Han Solo, IG-88, a bounty hunter, Dengar, another bounty hunter, and a Bespin guard.

In terms of the build strength of this set, I found it to be very sturdy. The instructions make it clear what you are doing, and I had no problem with pieces coming apart from earlier steps. Boba Fett's ship is so well built and strong, when I dropped it only one wing panel came off. A word of advice: do not pick it up from the cockpit cover!

Overall, this set is very solid and well constructed. It is very detailed, and surprisingly, it is quite large when you get done building all 537 pieces. This set is well worth the price and will be a fan favorite for years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Fett would be pround with this fine LEGO slave, February 17, 2007

By

This review is from: LEGO Star Wars Slave I (Toy)

This is a great Lego kit. First off, I am a 30 year old kid, who loves Lego bricks, and have become a big fan of the Star Wars series of Lego kits.

I assembled this kit at night in poor light, and contrary to other reviews, I have had no problems with the asembly, nor have there been any issues with it falling apart. The only problem I can see is that sometimes it's hard to follow some of the instructions with the dark bricks. It's easy to miss a brick or two. After finding my extra bricks, I went back through the instructions and replaced them, and have had no problems since. Also I tested out the cannon while the hatch is closed, and it didn't destroy the construction.

Now for the good stuff:
The rotating wing and control center for Boba Fett works great.
The Carbonite brick is cool, but you better watch out for an accidental release (i'm hunting for Solo right now, at least he is safely enclosed in carbonite, so until I find him, I know he is safe. If he surved the freezing process.
The mini figs are also great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very awesome lego!!!, August 9, 2006

This review is from: LEGO Star Wars Slave I (Toy)

This Lego SlaveII is aweome. I'd have to say that it is the best lego set I have, Star Wars or not. It has two storage compartments, one on either side. Not too big, but you can fit like, a blaster, or some coins/jewles. It has to large DEF. Missiles that come out of a hatch on the front, and a large HG. Missile right above that. It also holds two big blasters in the front. Boba (I wish it was Jango, but hey!) Fett sits in a big cockpit, that, by the weight of the wings, lifts up or goes down, depending on wether you are putting it down, or lifting it up. A hatch opens in the back of it, and two SC's (Siesmic Charges) fall out. (NOTE: Not like the Ark 17-0). It comes with Han Solo in carbonite, a mechanicle droid bounty hunter called IG-88, and it come with (my favorite) Dengar!!! Bonus: It comes with a Bespin gaurd too! It is quite sturdy, for how big it is, you can fly it around however you want without braking it, if you hold it in the right place. Overall, it is the most amazing lego I have ever had. Don't mind the price tag, it's definately worth it. Well, good luck shopping!
P.S. For this, hee, hee.
