[quote=Lego S@H]The Empire strikes again!
Fearsome bounty hunter Boba Fett is back, stalking the spaceways in his ship, Slave Iâ„¢! The sophisticated anti-detection gear and stealth hardware make sure that his quarry never sees him coming until it is too late. The Slave I can take on any foe with its bombs, blasters, and launchers that really fire! Han Solo is trapped in carbonite and locked in the storage hold, but you can save him.
  • Cockpit and wings rotate for flight and landing.
  • Includes Boba Fett, Han Solo in carbonite, Bespin Guard, Dengar and IG-88.
  • Bombs, blasters and launchers really fire!

The contents of the box includes nine baggies, some lego pieces and the instructional booklet.

The cast. IG-88 does seem to have a body that's plated in chrome, though the head is molded in colour. Dengar's hood was last seen in the ninjas theme sets.

The cockpit.

In comparison to the previous releases of slave 1, this is definitely the best one of the lot. It's more accurate to mini-fig scale, and features a working technic launcher.

So, what do you think of this set?
