When I first heard that this set could be coming, I was ecstatic; and the Lego group absolutely came through. This is the most beautiful model of the ship ever built. The base is thick with just the right amount of curve, the nose is sleek and perfectly angled, the backside is incredibly detailed, and they even added a complete cockpit interior to fit a whole 5 minifigs. Speaking of the minifigs the new Jango Fett figure is fantastic, taking everything we loved from the older figures while adding so much more detail. (Yes, the grey jet pack is accurate though less iconic) This set certainly isn’t without it’s flaws, such as the very inaccurate Boba minifig and the many stickers; the ones on the seismic charge should have 100% been printed. The rest of my complaints are just minor nitpicks however and I still think this is the finest addition to my collection yet. Thanks Lego, you did this one right.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The set is amazing and I dont have that many complaints besides the fact that the green pieces on the side keep coming off easily for some odd reason. Some people advised me to press it hard and i have done and nothing seems to work. At this point I don’t know if I’m the only experiencing that or people have pointed out. So Im at the point to either dissemble completely and finish it like that. I have even contemplated the idea of using crazy glue. i did forget to mentioned that Im frustrated….Also i do feel that it should have not been sticker rather that blocks that were printed. I would lean more towards the printed pieces instead.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Worthy successor to the OG UCS GOAT

I own the original UCS Slave I set, and I've long considered it one of the best in the line, so I was extremely interested to see how the modern take would treat it.
I am pleased to report that the new variant is constructed in broadly different ways, but remains top of its class in employing advanced construction techniques to create a superb end product. The reverse side especially feels like it was designed to be viewed moreso than with the original UCS variant.
The lowering ramp to extend the hatch door works extremely well, but this set feels like much more of a display piece than the older version. The wings are connected to rotate in tandem, but the inner cockpit is no longer attached.
All in all, this is absolutely a banger set, and if you were the correct age to get deeply enamoured with Star Wars Episode II you will not be disappointed in this set.
The new Jango Fett Starship set is one of the best entries in the UCS line up. Taking fame from the classic 2015 UCS Slave 1, this set does it better.
I have both. I was a little hesitant to buy this set at first, but pulled the trigger on 4/30. I'm sure I was one of the first to purchase it.
The build experience is fluid. Took me about 8 hours. The booklet offers a lot of insight into how the Slave 1 came to be. Nice to see more Attack of the Clones in Lego.
The size is about the same as the 2015 version, but with a little less than 1,000 more parts, you feel it in the weight. The model is solid, structurally sound, and generally wont fall apart.
The stickers and Young Boba are a contention for most fans. Boba is a bad minifigure, straight up. Jango on the other hand has immaculate arm printing. The stickers are also not an issue. I lined mine up with edges and fixed most of the issue.
This is VERY fragile, mostly the ship's facade. The panels extending to the rear of the tail are floppy. So many small interconnections in the middle come apart easily with light handling. The stand is convenient. This would be better with a rock-solid technic frame instead of the ton of small SNOT connections.
I recently encountered rumors that the Slave I was receiving an Ultimate Collector’s Edition, and as someone whose childhood was deeply shaped by this iconic ship—through the films, video games, and toys—I was filled with excitement. Naturally, you can imagine my profound disappointment upon purchasing the product, only to find it labeled as “Jango Fett’s Starship.” What a disheartening oversight.
While I recognize that LEGO is not entirely at fault, this instance reflects a growing pattern of inaccuracies and rebranding decisions that diminish both the emotional resonance and perceived value of these products. For many consumers, especially long-standing fans, such inconsistencies erode the justification needed to make these substantial purchases. LEGO, a company once renowned for its attention to detail and celebration of source material, seems to be faltering in its commitment to authenticity.
This experience left me disillusioned—not merely by a toy or a label, but by a world increasingly shaped by corporate caution, revisionism, and a disregard for the cultural artifacts that once inspired awe. I hold out hope that one day, balance will be restored to the creative hierarchies that now appear corrupted by commercialism and a covetous pursuit of market appeasement. Until then, I remain a disappointed, if not disheartened, admirer of a fading legacy.
This is a long overdue set, plagued by 4 major problems. Name of set-Use of stickers-Jango’s blasters-Boba’s hair piece. We will start with the name of the set. This is Jango Fett’s Slave 1. Though it may be more of Disney’s fault for this discrepancy, i’m still going to bring it up. The next problem is the use of stickers. In a set like this, everything should be prints. Stickers make it look cheap and tacky. There’s plenty of competition out there using strictly prints (and a lot of them). The next issue is Jango’s blasters. I wish a new mold was made for his blasters, as these specific pieces were used as accessories that you’d tie a string through in Lego City fire sets back in the day if i’m remembering correctly. One of the final issues I have with the set is Boba’s hair piece. To keep things short and sweet, the original hair piece is far superior. Other than these issues, it’s a nice set that is long overdue.
