won this on ebay for nine pounds with instuctions but no box or minifigure. love the early sets because they look like lego. already own jabbas prize so sharing boba and han in carbonite.like the colour scheme,and the parts are solid lego (enough of making pieces just to fit) KEEP IT LEGO. i suppose these will end up being classed as vintage like the first castle lego sets.

Remember when Boba Fett had a cold calculating voice before he became Australian? That's a lot like how I compare the old Star Wars Legos to the new ones. Personally, I prefer the classics (and yes, Han shot first...and last) and this version of Slave I is no exception.

As I previously mentioned in another review, a while back I made the...decision (really trying to avoid the word "mistake" here) to separate my legos by colour in bins. This is a huge pain as most of my Legos are black and grey and finding certain pieces are not always easy.

This brings me to my first compliment about this model. Lots of various colours. grey and black, sure...but they are at a minimum. We have tan, brown, green and some nice clear pieces in this kit (I'll even recognize the 2 shades of grey)

Next we have the unique characters (frozen Hansicle and Boba Fett) which I believe were sold only with this set until the Jabba sets came out quite a bit later.

Lastly this was easy to build, very sturdy, and a great size for its non-gimmicky playability. (rotating turrets, double opening cockpit, auto-rotating wings, opening compartment hatch...)

The only slightly "grrr" moment I had with the release of the newer, more expensive version was that it came with additional bounty hunters. A nice touch. Touché Lego revamp, touché.

Otherwise, if you like the original SW models, could use some more variation in your Lego colour scheme or just have an obsession with Boba Fett...this is the one for you.

I'll also add that there are some nice alternate models and sometimes cute little comic strips in the instruction booklets in these older sets that made me feel like a bit of time, effort and, oh yes, love were put into each box.

Let's divide the Lego Star Wars fans in the ones, who like the sets to 2001 and the ones who like the sets from 2002 and afterwards. I love the first wave of sets, for which this set is very characteristic, because:

• -small set, was easy to get
• -good size to play, to destroy, build again
• -set with nearly just standard parts (nostalgic and still looks like Lego)
  
• -many different colours, nice colour sceme
• -awesome box design (many pictures of scenes and functions)
• -outstanding instructions design (with movie pictures)
• -the wind shield looks great

This set is one of my all time favorite lego star wars sets.I dont see why all these people keep giving bad reveiws saying "its too small" or "it dosent have enough weapons".Its really not that small, you have pleanty of room for Boba Fett in the cocpit and enough room for Han Solo in the cargo hold.Plus, in the movie we never saw the Slave 1's weapons, just the two gun turrents in the front. And its not like it was made yesterday, it was made 10 years ago as one of the first lego star wars sets! All of them were a little small.Well now that i hopefully proved those other reviewers wrong lets get on to the things i like about this set.

We'll start off with the minifigs.You get Han Solo frozen in carbonite,if you count him as a minifig,and my favorite minifig of all Boba Fett!He has a green helmet witch is atached to his jet pack which is really detailed.Especialyfor ten years ago.I also love the wings and how they stay balenced with the ship as you turn it over. And i know that had to be hard for the designers because back then they didn't have alot of speacial pieces to make it do that.Plus this set was really cheap to buy. Only 20 dollars!I wish sets today were like that because now you can't buy a cool set without you having to pay between 70 and 100 dollars or more!

I also like the cocpit,it has alot of controlls and enough room to fit Boba Fett and a gun.But you will have to make the gun your self because it dosent come with one. And that is the only thing i dont like about it.The boarding ramp is also pretty cool too.Overall it is a fantastic clasic lego star wars set that i believe this is a must have for any one who likes Boba Fett or lego star wars.So please dont listen to those guys who wrote the reviews saying its bad,because its not.Im sure if you buy it you wont regret it.

this is defiant classic with it's old style design. this set was great. just amazing! if you ad a 4x4 bloc and a4x4 tile at the back of the cargo hold you can turn it in to a bomber.
