Lego Slave 1 2010

- Let's Take A Closer Look

Once again, Lego has done a great job in authentically reproducing a much-loved icon from the Star Wars universe.   It has taken a little while though – this version is actually the 4th of the Slave 1 (including versions owned by Jango Fett, Boba's father)

In the old IV-V-VI trilogy, this ship was only shown in 2 scenes, but Boba Fett has become such a popular Star Wars character that many people have been keen to snap up their very own model of the iconic Slave 1.  So much so that the 8097 (2010) model has been on the best-seller list at Amazon since its release.
