Description

I just recently restarted my LEGO collecting and building. Admittedly, I am not purchasing these for play or play-value. Mostly I just enjoy building LEGO, love Star Wars, and think Boba Fett is one of the coolest characters in the Star Wars universe. There you have it; this is a great kit for a friend and fan of lego, Fan of star wars, fan of Boba Fett, Kids, or collectors. Unlike some Lego sets, this Slave 1 is great for displaying and is as smooth as it is beautiful. A true 10/10 and a must-have!

Darth Vader dispatches six bounty hunters to find the Millennium Falcon, the most famous of whom is definitely Boba Fett. This minifigure is similar to that from 75137 Carbon-Freezing Chamber, although the dark green armour on torso seems slightly brighter on this occasion. It looks marvellous and I love the printed legs, featuring flame yellowish orange kneepads and metallic silver spikes on each boot. It may feature some parts that are not officially made in the colours used here, but the model shouldn't feature any 'floating' parts. It should be able to and possibly will someday be made as a real model.However, the most notable feature of this section is definitely the Technic carrying handle at its centre. This is linked directly to the Technic frame so it feels incredibly strong and weight is distributed evenly around the handle. Unfortunately, the engine band is therefore divided but I think that is a reasonable compromise as including a carrying handle is very useful, especially for younger children.

I hope you have found this review informative. Let us know by liking this article and share your thoughts on the set in the comments below. I am also very impressed with the attention to detail given to the mini-figures. I always thought Bossk was cool and the well-designed figure that comes with this set was a big plus for me.

The Boba Fett mini-fig is a big upgrade, as many others have noted, and should hold up admirably even with the new design coming later this year. Many vehicles from the Star Wars universe have been subject to multiple LEGO models and Boba Fett's unorthodox craft has returned particularly often. 75243 Slave I - 20th Anniversary Edition is the fourth rendition of the craft at this scale and appears to represent a significant improvement over its varied predecessors.

Leia's formal attire appears simple when compared with modern versions of the character, although it matches the classic minifigure and I like the metallic silver belt around her waist. The reverse features the LEGO Star Wars 20th anniversary branding. I can understand why some fans were hoping that no alterations would be made but this design looks attractive. The minifigure wields a classic megaphone blaster. The underside of the dish (base) is still not detailed too much and is only movie-accurate if looking at the number of thrusters, but has more detail than 2006 and definitely more detailed than 2000's version. Dark Bluish Gray Dish 6 x 6 Inverted (Radar) Webbed - Type 2 (Underside Attachment Positions at 90 degrees)
