LEGO Star Wars 8097: Slave I

Product Information

The torso and legs, on the other hand, are both superb. Pearl dark grey is a perfect colour choice and the worn paintwork looks remarkably realistic. The metallic silver cables across the torso are excellent while the droid's chest is decorated with a subtle dark red sigil, demonstrating lovely attention to detail. 4-LOM carries a large blaster rifle, loosely resembling his DLT-19 rifle from the movie. 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. There are at least 2 different versions of instructions for this set. The differences for the second version are indicated in this inventory in the Alternate Items section with Match ID 99. 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.

Numerous different versions of the Slave I have been produced, ranging in size from miniature Advent Calendar vehicles to the Ultimate Collector Series 75060 Slave I which measures 45cm in length. This example measures 29cm long and features a wingspan of 31cm so appears most comparable to 6209 Slave I and 8097 Slave I from 2006 and 2010 respectively.

Let us know by liking this article and share your thoughts on the set in the comments below.BUILD: This is where the set disappoints a little bit. It is very reminiscent of the 2006 version. Some new builds such as the boarding ramp, wings, and guns. But overall the build is uninteresting if you have built the 2006 model. The colors though are really bright and match Boba Fett's chest decal color. 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.

As far as the set itself, this is one of my favorites since starting up again. The build is a little more complicated than the newest X-Wing at times, but overall seemed to take about the same amount of time to complete. The detail of the set is top-notch, a few well-noted scale issues notwithstanding. It was just complicated enough to be fun.Fill out an Inventory Change Request ( ?)

For a LEGO Star Wars fan, or a fan of Boba Fett and his incredibly unique ship, this set is a cannot miss. 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. Each twentieth anniversary set contains a minifigure which takes inspiration from their original design. This version of Princess Leia was available in 7190 Millennium Falcon so features a yellow skin tone, corresponding with the figure from 2000. I am delighted that her classic hair piece has returned, albeit in reddish brown rather than brown, while the head features a single bland expression. The vehicle appears less attractive when viewed from the rear, as one might expect. Even so, several thrusters are included beside some pipework towards the base and the spring-loaded shooter triggers near the top. The designer has also found room for two clips where you can store weapons which is a delightful inclusion. Internal storage might have been preferable but any solution is welcome. I am similarly satisfied with their rotation function which works remarkably smoothly. The model cannot stand in flight mode without support but looks imposing in either configuration, as one would expect for a bounty hunter's vehicle. In addition, this rendition of the Slave I feels absolutely rigid which has been an issue on previous models but does not apply here, allowing you to grip it with complete confidence.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) 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! The external bodywork features a perfect combination of exposed studs and smooth surfaces along with accurate colours. I think the dark green should probably extend further across each side but the sand green and dark bluish grey details look wonderful. There are no hidden weapons in this section which is disappointing but a Technic core occupies most of the internal space.

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. Comparing the sets against more film-accurate reference material like that which appeared in the manual of the UCS version, it's easy to see how this set uses similar techniques to achieve similarly accurate shaping and proportions, but now at a scale that's not nearly as unaffordable or difficult for kids to build and play with. 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. EDIT: Please note that the Boba Fett figure is made of an inferior plastic compared to previous incarnations. The torso on mine has a hairline fracture running between the arms and the legs due to the legs simply being attached.Constructing the craft at this scale allows the designer to capture tremendous detail, almost matching the significantly larger version from 2015, while concurrently ensuring that it is a suitable size for play. For instance, this model includes an angled fuselage so corresponds exactly with the movie and feels absolutely rigid. 75060 Slave I is accurately shaped too but is more fragile and intended primarily display. 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. Upload an Image in the specific color if you have one and the one in the above listing is not available. I decided to modify 2010's 8097 Slave I on LEGO Digital Designer to create Jango Fett's version of the famous spacecraft. The model features many recolours as well as additional or replacement parts and features.
