(More customer reviews)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.
