LEGO Star Wars Slave l – 20th Anniversary Edition 75243 Building Kit (1007 Pieces)

Fift

This was a gift. My grandson loved it.

Must have if you love Star War legos.

Ive been drooling over this set and saving up for it. Every time I see it, its like $200. However, a few days ago, I saw it here again and it was only $119. I immediately purchased it. Within 15 minutes, it was listed at $204 again. I was worried that the price was too good to be true. At 40% below normal price, would it have all the pieces? Would the box be crushed or missing? Will it be in used condition? Then, another red flag... When I click My Orders, I get a message saying that Amazon cant track it. Thats never happened on any delivery in the past. (Amazon still says its arriving tomorrow, even though it already arrived several hours ago.) Well today it arrived and its perfect! It was new condition. Sealed box with official Lego tape intact. All pieces still in the 8 sealed bags. Instructions in a sealed bag. The corners/edges of the box are nice and sharp. The front of the box has a small crease near the bottom, but thats not noticeable unless youre looking closely or holding the box. I would consider that reasonable, especially for the price, unless youre the type of collector who needs absolute pristine packaging. The box is very much in good enough condition to be displayed in a collection, IMO. I love the set. My kids love it. Its a very sturdy build. Were all very satisfied. I highly recommend scooping this set up if you see ot drop to $119 again.

I had seen this set many times before, even on major sale but I always passed it up. Friday’s episode (of a certain show) sparked new interest and all of a sudden I had to have this set! I went looking for it— sold out everywhere, except Amazon had it New and in stock in “Frustration-Free packaging”. I quickly placed my order but then got curious— the other reviewers and their pictures had me so worried that I’d receive an open-box or damaged box. I almost canceled my order. It arrived today about a week earlier than expected— much to my surprise, it arrived in perfect, mint condition. Whew! There may have been others whose box was beat up in transit, but mine arrived perfectly intact. The cardboard outer box was direct from LEGO, so this fit the Lego-set box like a glove! I’m so relieved I have this set now! I may even buy another for my ‘unboxed’ collection— and resell it once other fans realize their misstep in passing this one up. This set will play well with my Razor Crest. Another beautifully designed Star Wars set that I can remind my kids with a friendly “Don’t touch that!” This is the way.

My 10yr old son spent three days putting this together. This is the fifth Star Wars Lego set that he has done this year and according to him this is his favorite. There are four cool mini figures also included including Boba Fet himself and of course the iconic Han in Carbonite! Not overly complicated but certain enough to keep him occupied. I love the way that LEGO redid the box with the silver lines around it to be reminiscent of the old Kenner Star Wars figure boxes. Also, something most people may not realize is that this is the first time that the original Princess Leia minifigure has been reintroduce. Not seen since the original Millennium Falcon (7190) was released back in 2003, this is a great mini figure to add to your collection. A lot of folks will see collector on the box and think this is similar to the Ultimate Collector Series Slave 1 (UCS). While it is very detailed, it is however half the size and number of bricks as its bigger brother the UCS Slave 1. Also, the UCS Slave 1 came with a stand whereas this one does not. All in all, Ive always wanted to build the Slave 1 and my son and I had a great time doing it. At about a foot long and a foot wide, its definitely a conversation piece!

Es un buen articulo de colección, si no cuentas con el UCS

Legos and Star Wars excellent gift. And finally difficult to do.

Lego has gotten better about this, but this ship was very solid. I also really like that the ship has a handle on the back to help with gripping it while soaring around the bedroom or wherever. Gravity turns the wings into the raised position, which was really cool to work. As Legos builds become more intricate, Id like to think that my son is learning a bit of engineering. Not a lot, but a little, which is really appreciated. The only downside, and its just a nit, is that it comes with the Princess Leia mini figure, which makes no sense. Having either Han or the Lando mini-figures feels more appropriate for the Slave 1, which made its appearance in Bespin in The Empire Strikes Back. However, I dont think thats a reason to not buy the Slave 1. It comes with Zuckuss mini-figure as well as a Han Solo-frozen-in-carbonite mini figure, and of course, a Boba Fett! And at 1007 pieces, the Slave 1 is a solid build. It will take several hours to build, which is a big part of the reason why people buy the bigger sets. We crave the details.

This was a gift for my nephew. He is 29 and had it assembled the same afternoon he received it. He absolutely loves it! I personally think it’s way too expensive but the other brick sets are junky.
