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

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.

Wonderful purchase

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Easily my favorite LEGO set I have built.

This is an excellent set, and based on the reviews really is likely the best value for the sets that are out there related to slave one.

New favorite set my kids play with all the time.

My wife got me this for my 29th birthday. It had been a long, long time since I’d built a new LEGO set, but once I got in the groove, I couldn’t stop. Took me around 4 hours total, but for less fanatical builders I would set aside 6-8 hours. I was very impressed with the structure and realism of this set. It is incredibly sturdy and features an intricate three-dimensional skeleton that uses a good number of “technic” pieces. This set now sits in my office, and unlike when I was a child, I have no urge to strip it for parts. A wonderful gift, and a true testament to LEGO’s ongoing engineering advancements.

this is a great alternative for those who can't afford the massive ucs slave one, it looks great and is functional plus the exclusive minifigures were a nice touch

Got for my son for Christmas. He loved it. By the way my son is 47.

Entrega muy rápida (48 horas) en buenas condiciones, completo. Construcción entretenida y sencilla. Detalles muy minuciosos, en minifiguras y cabina de la nave. Un excelente regalo de cumpleaños para los fans de Star Wars !!!!!

Purchased this as a Christmas gift for my 12 year old. He was so excited to receive as it was unexpected. He especially liked the collectable lego figurine that came with it. Built in a couple of hours. Great addition to any lego Star Wars collector. Can also purchase a lighting kit, from a separate vendor, for this item which we are waiting to receive.

Me encanto este lego , llego en tiempo , completo y en buen estado.

I like this product because of the details of the ship and the lego minifigures. Instructions are excellent. I have the UCE slave 1, and it's nowhere as detailed but it looks nice on the shelf. I'm not a big fan of the collector minifigures, with the logo on their backs but the others are very nice.

I was skeptical about purchasing this product due to the cost of it, but now that I have it I can say as a long time Star Wars fan and a long time Lego fan this set is definitely worth the price. It is a great set with multiple play features to appeal to a younger audience and it has the nostalgic factor for the older audience and appeals to the collector side of people.
