My 6-year old found this in a toy catalog and put it on top of his birthday wish list. I’m a bit reluctant to buy Star Wars Lego as it could be the start of yet another collection and our house is not exactly starved of Lego nor Star Wars (and not just because of junior’s interest). But I must admit this is a very tempting set in nostalgic retro packaging with the silver Star Wars Logo and lines around the edges of the box.As a 1007 piece set it comes with an exclusive Leia commemorative figure, Boba and two of our favoured bounty hunters (4-LOM & Zuckuss). And of course there is a carbonized version of Han (and a Han figure) that can be stowed away under the rear hatch.The instruction booklet includes a few pages on the history of Lego Star Wars and the former Slave I sets.Of course there is a bigger, more impressive UCS Slave I from a few years earlier, that I don’t own, and that comes with a much heftier price tag (and double the piece count). However this version is actually quite a good, cost effective alternative in particular as it includes a number of interesting play features for children like a flight mode and solid handle. While in flight mode there are also spring-loaded shooters, triggered from the base.The built is quite exciting, not particularly complex with the instruction booklet easy to understand. Though I must admit that we put it together in a joint effort. And this eventually gets you an very impressive finished model that looks quite movie-accurate and that is visually pleasing.I was relieved not to find too many stickers in the set, that my son is always tempting to put in place but seldom with a satisfying result.All in all; a great set & highly recommended

Oh my, this is a fantastic Lego set, with over a thousand pieces! This will keep the recipient away from screens for many hours and I'm sure they will have enormous fun constructing such a great toy.This is Boba Fett's Slave 1 starship, from "The Empire Strikes Back", but a special 20th Anniversary Edition, so quite a collector's item. The constructed ship measures 11"x5"x12" and like all Lego, is colourful and unbreakable. The instructions are clear and simple but due to the size of this set, it is recommended for 10 year olds and over.The cockpit takes a mini-figure and the seat for the pilot is self-levelling in case of meteor storms.There is an opening/closing rear hatch which can be used for transporting poor old Han Solo while he is encased in a block of Carbonite. The wings rotate and each wing has a shooter which is spring loaded to fire missiles (provided).There are 5 mini-figures: Boba Fett, Princess Leia, (special edition) four-LOM, Zuckuss and Han Solo and each has a blaster pistol.There is a carry handle attached to the underside which makes transporting easier.Building Lego helps encourage dexterity, patience, creativity, spatial awareness and the ability to follow instructions, and the parts are durable and mostly unbreakable.This is probably the best Lego set I have seen, and any fan will be over the moon with it.

A review for LEGO 75243 Star Wars Slave I - 20th Anniversary Edition, Boba Fett's Starship, Episode 5 The Empire Strikes Back, Colourful.Well what can I say a marriage of two of the biggest franchises in the world. I never get tired of the Star Wars universe, one of the best things Lego did was to expand its franchising to include many popular film tie ins, this one being my favourite. Some Lego purists will argue that this is not really Lego in its purest form or indeed Lego at all, but have brick will build it is lego just not as we knew it. Lego has done well to adapt and keep up with the times whilst still retaining that sense of build and create when it was first incepted all those years ago.I played with Lego when I was young, all you had were basic building blocks unlike now which for me is progress in the right direction. This set has everything you need to build the bounty hunter Boba Fett's starship from the Star Wars films, plus the following beautifully Lego interpreted mini figures: Boba Fett, Han solo, Zuckuss, 4-LOM, Princess Leia. Overall well made if slightly expensive Star Wars / Lego alliance, these are the lego toys you're looking for, may the force be with you.

This is an expensive LEGO set, but hey. it's Star Wars! It's actually a lot more than an anniversary LEGO/Star Wars product cash-in - although this could definitely bring in a whole new set of fans for both camps - this is a really good kit that will delight any fans of Star Wars, particularly the younger ones who also like LEGO. There's double the fun to be had seeing how it all fits together to work and in just playing with the starship and the figures that come with it.The pictures don't really do this justice. There's over a thousand pieces here and it takes quite a bit of work to build this LEGO version of Boba Fett's Slave I from The Empire Strikes Back,but nothing too complicated when you follow the instructions in the guide. The detail is brilliant, the construction allowing for rotating side wings, a detachable cockpit and spring-loaded weapons with trigger-firing. There are five figurines Boba Fett, Han Solo (and a block of carbonite to fit him into the rear hold), Zuckuss, 4-LOM and a special edition Princess Leia each with blasters.This may be expensive, but needless to say it will be a collector's item and likely to be even more expensive then. Get it if you can.

As with all Lego sets the quality is excellent, currently at a decent price so well worth picking up.The 20th anniversary line of lego star wars sets are perfect for collectors and kids alike.. both for play and display value.The slave 1 itself is a brilliant alternative for people who don't want to/cant invest in the ultimate collectors edition kit. The build is engaging and there's lots of interesting techniques used when putting this together, the instructions are really easy to follow and the end result makes a really nice model to stick on the shelf! My only gripe with this kit is the lack of display stand so if you're wanting to have it displayed in its "flight" mode you would have to prop it up against something fairly stable.The minifigure selection is nice,the new boba fett looks really good with high quality printing on the legs and torso.And the bonus princess Leia figure is a must have for older fans of the franchise, although be aware they do have the 20th anniversary logo printed on the back so you can tell it apart from the original figures released in the early 2000's.Overall I'm happy with the set and I think it's a must have for any Lego fan!

Sometimes anniversary editions can be a little disappointing, merely a way to repackage the same old products. This was definitely not the case for this lego Star Wars Slave 1 set! I really liked how it was a re-invention of an older kit and it’s clear just how far things have come with Lego in 20 Years!! The kit was suitably challenging to hold the interest of my 9 year old and this time we followed the instructions and opened the numbered bags in order as we built the kit - much easier! As usual Lego instructions are easy to follow although I did miss the scale pictures of some of the key pieces (only a minor issue).The kit was particularly interesting as it included moving and shooting partsmaking play more interesting and the collectible mini figure was a nice touch although it won’t spend much time on its display stand!!A minor quibble for Lego in general is the move to more and more unique parts - a quick look at the original Slave 1 and it’s more generic bricks shows while it loses some realism the ability to include into larger collections and modify more freely was much easier 20 years ago! All in all a great kit fun to build and play with!!

My son and I have collected a number of the Lego Star Wars edition models over the years, and this is a superb addition to our collection. It is being issued to commemorate the company's 20th anniversary producing Star Wars products, and is by far the best incarnation of Slave 1 yet.It is quite challenging to build, but the instructions are good, and it was great fun - it took us several hours with coffee breaks. The finished built product looks absolutely amazing, and although it isn't cheap, we think it is well worth the money.The model is just under 6 inches high and approximately 12 inches long x 12 inches wide. The set features 5 figures, and Han Solo frozen in Carbonite.The model has a neat opening rear hatch to store Han. The clear canopy detaches at the front and one of the figures will fit inside. There are also twin working "blasters".Sure to become a sought after collectors item in years to come we can highly recommend this Anniversary Edition. If you can afford it, buy one for yourself, and one to store away as an investment. A real must for Star Wars and Lego collectors.

This is a brilliant example of a quality Lego set - one of the most iconic sci-fi space-ships of all time, by one of the most iconic toy makers of all time.As always, the set is beautiful and comes well packaged with everything well organised in the box, ready to get going. The instructions are clear - and while of course Lego building experience will help, everyone should be able to put this together given time and patience. Once completed the set can of course be taken apart and either rebuilt again, or if you want, the parts can be scavenged for other projects - but as there are a large number of bespoke pieces here, and considering the cost of the set, I doubt you would want to do that.As well as the main ship,this set comes with several Star Wars mini-figures, which will probably become collectable themselves given time.All in all a brilliant edition of Star Wars Lego - one for the collectors and the new starter alike.

Great model, fun to build and no frustrating or fiddly elements. Great selection of mini figures that add to the design, Boba Fett looks great and the Carboniferous Han Solo round things off. Took a good day to complete on and off so really good value. If I have a frustration it’s that I bought this for around £60 and it’s now closer to £200, this makes it unobtainable by all but the most avid collector and it would be great if more children could enjoy this set. In terms of completeness from a Star Wars perspective this goes over and above with not only movie characters but others from the wider SW canon.

This is a lovely set. I did talk about value for money but the men in my family explained in words of one syllable that this was "A collectors item". It comes with an extensive glossy manual with clear pictorial instructions. the parts are separated into bundles, packed in cellophane and clearly numbered. Although it is for a 10 +year old it is supposedly for my 6year old great grandson. Joey loves Star WarsI doubt if he will get near it. It seems to be a big boys toy. A lot of time has been spent looking at the manual. I feel it will be a long project. The parts are brightly coloured and well made.

Wicked build. With the number of pieces and complexity I wouldn't recommend for younger builders, but its a nicely designed model with the usual brilliant diagrams and instructions. Features like the rotating cockpit, opening loading bay to store Han in his carbonite, and the handle mechanism on the back are really well implemented, and the visual design as well, particularly the rear engine modules, looks authentic and detailed. Fantastic model that will look great on a shelf or in a display case if that's your thing, or stand up to hours of playing by younger owners.

I've been fancying adding Slave 1 to my collection for some time but held off getting the ultimate collectors edition due to price.I was delighted when it was announced a more affordable version was coming to celebrate the 20th anniversary and I've not been disappointed.This set is a fun build and the finished model looks great. It also comes with 5 mini figures including a throwback special of Princess Leia. There's also Han frozen in Carbonite to go in the storage compartment of the ship.Easy to recommend this for fans, great set, classic ship.

This Slave 1 Lego set is amazing for Bobba Fett fans and for people who love star wars and want a classic in their LEGO collection. The build is nicely done and not to hard, and the model itself is incredibly accurate to the original Slave 1. The build was fun and took me about 5 hours, with breaks. The mechanics are great (shooting lasers, storage compartment for han) and the mini-figures are great introducing 2 new mini-figs plus a nice Leia bonus. The build is nicely held and is not to heavy. It is worth the price for sure and will satisfy you.

From the excitement of the noise of the Lego sliding when you shake the box, through the 8 packs of pieces, to trying out the shooting function this was a very satisfying four and a half hours, (for an experienced Lego constructor).It is a complex set, requiring focus and concentration. A few of the stages required a bit of jiggling about to fit together. It feels secure to handle now it is complete.It uses a lot of special bricks for the shaping and structure.As always the instructions are clear and methodical.All in all it is fabulous!

Lego has come along way since I was a child. The things you can build are a lot more advanced and complicated to put together. This Lego kit for Baba Fett's starship Slave 1 from The Empire Strikes Back is no exception. It took me quite along time to put together and required a lot of patience. Once it was finally assembled it did look fantastic. This is a nice item and fans of Star Wars will no doubt go for it as will Lego enthusiasts.
