LEGO Star Wars Slave I Toy by LEGO

Product Information

The set’s four minifigures are shown on the side of the box (below) at 1:1 scale along with Han Solo in Carbonite. The side of the box also reveals that the finished Slave 1 model is 43 cm long and 19 cm high, not including the display stand.

Next up is to place the actual pieces that will help support the weight of the front section. Begin by placing the technic pins as follows (on both sides): And it shouldn't be taken as a sad fact. To me, it means that TLC doesn't care about quality, and sells unfinished, botched products. Hi. I read about an issue with the UCS Slave 1 where the front section may eventually droop with time after being placed on the stand. See topic below for reference with a picture: I am not worried about drooping. I have a copy sitting on the display stand untouched for two full years now, and the gap hasn't widened noticeably. And beyond all that, what would they do? A decent scale Hogwarts would be cool, but it would either be far too small or so huge it just wouldn't be feasible.

Designing a set isn't nearly as simple as some adult fans believe. Sometimes I wish we would invite some of you to bring your creations you believe are good enough to be sets and have a simulated quality meeting with our engineers.

Technic Liftarms are also strategically placed for stability and strength, which will basically hold the structure of the entire build. Laying out the plates reminds me of the silhouette of a midi-sized Millennium Falcon.

You can see the finished Slave 1 model below perched securely on its display stand in flight mode. The secret compartments on each side are open revealing the hidden weapons. Despite the ship now being upright the wings remain in the correct horizontal position thanks to the mechanism I described earlier. The finished build of the Slave 1 is quite the view. For a 1,000-piece design, and the odd shape of the Slave 1, I think the design team pretty much nailed it.

Can you let me know what you find? I would very much like to hear what you think about the mod I did. I'm not good at doing these things so I won't be able to tell if it is 100% in-system or too complicated. I'm just a new AFOL and I only started buying LEGO again just 3 months ago after a dark age of 25+ years. In fact, your UCS Slave 1 was the Lego set that brought me out of the dark ages.On the top right of the box is an updated, monochrome version of the classic LEGO Star Wars logo, now in pseudo-metallic silver. The next minifigure is a Stormtrooper. Unlike the Bespin Guard and Boba Fett he’s not exclusive to the set, having previously appeared in this form in Set 75055 Imperial Star Destroyer. For me, he’s pretty much perfect, with lots of print detail on the front of his torso and legs and a fantastically detailed helmet; you really have to wonder whether LEGO can reasonably cram any more detail into to their Star Wars minifigures than they do at present. After which, you will need to build this part using the two 1x2 plates from earlier, while reusing the parts you just removed (minus the 2x3 tan plates) Ball joints offer many possibilities, but can they be considered as usable when linked to heavy elements, such as the tail here ? I never used these kind of parts. If you don’t already own the Ultimate Collector Series ship, it’s almost a no brainer to get this and experience the build and play features, as this definitely outshines the previous non-UCS sets. If you’re a minifigure collector, you know you’ve got to have the exclusives with the unique 20th Anniversary Edition print. All said and done, this is a safe bet to re-live the Classic Star Wars theme that started two decades ago.
