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

I really enjoyed this set. Building it was exciting and the finished ship looks great! they did a lot of cool engineering to make this slave1 awesome.

The lego box is beat up a little for how much this set was.

Great addition and fun set but nothing super special but overal fun.

Excellent build. The minifigures are perfect. The ship itself is fun and easy to build. the handle in the back is so useful

This is a very nice Star Wars Lego build. It comes with 8 bags of Legos, 5 minifigs (including a limited edition 20th anniversary princess Leia) and a Carbonite Han Solo. The Carbonite mold does not match the Han Solo minifig very well as the minifig is the new Han Solo and the Carbonite is the old Han Solo. The Han minifig that comes with this set does fit in it, though only barely because of his hair. This kit has clear instructions and took an experienced adult Lego builder about 3 hours to put together. My 5 year old put it together later, with a little help over several afternoons. It makes a medium sized functional and accurate ship that is fun to play with, my son has been flying it around the house shouting pew pew. Several of the minifigs have double sided faces. A quality set for Lego and star wars enthusiasts, just be aware of which Han minifig it comes with.

This set is a fantastic upgrade from some of the previous models. I collect Lego and so I have had the privilege to put together an older Slave-1 (8097) as well as the recent Display Collectors edition (UCS-75060) and this set is much modernized as well as much more playable. The UCS set is much bigger, but is also more meant for display purposes. The older versions do not have the automated shooting rocket, nor the carry-handle. The carry handle is something that was introduced in older Lego sets (Star Destroyers etc), then went away, but I am glad to see it come back since it makes flying the space ships much easier and ergonomic. This unit was a lot of fun to put together (not too repetetive) and kept me busy several hours. One of the other fun features is Princess Leia, as she was introduced 20 years ago. I missed those first runs, and I am glad I now have her for my collection. If you are thinking of owning a Slave-1 set and wondering about playability this one is for you.

One of my better 4am boredom impulse buys. Seller was AAA Honest Books, which sounds kinda sketchy, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that this lego set came without a hitch. Everythings there in original unopened packaging. Im so excited to relive some old memories!

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.

My 11 year old built this in 1 day and he loves it. Sparked his imagination.
