1000 more pieces from the previous Slave 1 and I have to say that some of those being the seismic charge didn’t disappoint. On the other hand, Boba’s hair piece is absurd but it’s something I can live with. Stickers in the UCS sets need to disappear BUT I think the dev’s like to keep fans fully immersed in the ‘build experience’ (probably, atleast that’s what I tell myself). Overall I think it’s a must have for any collection. If you are reading this looking for validation - the answer is yes.
This set is amazing it’s my second ucs set ever the first being the tie intercepter from last year which is also amazing and the Lego designers continue to astound me with their creativity and ingenuity
The building of this set is wonderful. It is not too difficult but it does have tediousness to it. Wonderful display piece and i am very happy with it.
This build is very fun and uses some interesting techniques. Jango is a great fig and Boba has some issues. The build is absolutely incredible aside from all the stickers. My only gripe with it is that some of the larger pieces should be printed as they are very difficult to get perfect. The canopy, the 2 curved side pieces that transition from green to blue, and the yellow/white stickers around the cockpit are good examples as they need to be lined up well to look good.
I have not completed the build yet but... so far this has been the MOST frustrating and unsatisfying LEGO builds I have built so far. I usually buy the kits for 18+ so they are more difficult to build and I have built a lot of them. Jango Fett's "starship" has got to be the worst build overall and the worst value overall!
I completely understand the mechanisms that drive cost with licensing, engineering, testing, etc... I am always impressed with what the Lego team is able to create and look forward to new sets, however anything that can be done to reduce costs for the consumer would be greatly appreciated.
I Love the set and I am having fun putting it together. I would definitely recommend to any Lego starwars. I'm still building it but can't wait for the end results.
