LEGO Star Wars Slave I 8097

8097 Slave I is to be released in August 2010 as part of the Classic Star Wars line. Included are Boba Fett (new design), Bossk, Han Solo and Han Solo (Redisigned Carbonite) minifigures. According to the box image, it contains most of 6209 Slave I’s pieces in different shades, a few new tweaked pieces, and features it had before. A replacement feature is instead of a big missile launcher in the front, there is a feature where you can shoot four smaller missiles out of it.

The initial placed 7144 was produced from generic Lego bricks and released in 2000. It was followed by set 7153 Jango Fett’s Slave 1 featuring Boba and his father Jango in 2002 and this was a major redesign featuring a number of new specialised pieces.

In 2010 Lego again revisits Boba Fett and Slave 1, this time featuring probably the best version figure of Boba himself, if not perhaps the ship itself. Lego 8097, released as part of Lego’s Star Wars 2010 2nd wave, comes with three minifigures; Boba Fett, Bossk and a Han Solo figure that can be fitted to a carbonite block for authentic carbon freeze re-enactment.

The ship looks fairly similar to the previous incarnation, save for the colors which stand out as being quite bright versions of their cinematic counterparts. The main colors are dark greens and reds. The lego 8097 established consists of four stickers which four stickers. This style is extremely smooth. And you’ll find flick fire missiles which Lego seems to be adding to just about every new Star Wars fixed nowadays.

But the main appeal for fans will likely be the figures, the new Boba Fett figure and also the exclusive Bossk. Bossk is a wonderful representation of the Trandoshan bounty hunter and fans can now finally re-enact the famous scene from Empire Strike Back which introduced the bounty hunter scum Boba Fett, Dengar, Bossk and IG-88.

The Boba Fett figure has been featured in seven sets since 2000 and has also had a highly sought after white version made for promotional purposes. The Boba Fett figure featured in this set is the most detailed and screen accurate version Lego has released and the colors are simply glorious. The detail is also fantastic, featuring battle damage to his armour, a helmet separate from his jet pack and a fully detailed face.

At inexpensive cost and with 573 pieces, overall it’s a amazing fixed for fans who do not already have one with the other versions and for those seeking the new figures. And like most Slave 1 sets this won’t last too extended on shelves.
