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.

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

I like that LEGO released these anniversary sets. The previous one I couldn’t buy and this one I wanted to pick up cause I thought it was a good size and good buy. Not difficult to build. Very neat piece to add to the collection.

The media could not be loaded.  The set is perfect. I didn’t have any missing pieces and the box wasn’t damaged if I had to say one bad thing it would be the price it way to far nearly 100$ more than the original price.
