Star Wars #1 - Sith Minifig Pack

Description

Starting a series

The #1 in the title shows that this pack opened a numbered run of minifigure packs. For fans at the time, packs like this were a straightforward way to add characters to a collection without buying a large vehicle. Today they document the early years of the Star Wars theme, which had launched only a year before. Complete copies with every accessory are what collectors look for, and checking them is easier with the full parts list on this page.

Villains of The Phantom Menace era

The Sith are the Jedi's great adversaries, followers of the dark side who work in secret until their plans are ready. The Phantom Menace, released the year before this pack, brought them back to the screen after a long absence, so a Sith-themed set was a natural choice. The catalogue does not name the three figures in its summary, but the parts list here shows each one individually, which is the most reliable way to see who is included.

Dark grey and chrome

Among the main colours are dark grey, trans-red and chrome silver. Dark grey is the older shade that bluish greys replaced a few years later, so it immediately dates the pack. Chrome silver brings a metallic shine. The colour list also contains an entry for no colour or any colour, which the catalogue uses for parts that have no fixed colour assigned. In total, the 30 pieces come from 8 unique elements.

Before you buy or sort

With a figure pack, completeness is everything: three figures plus their accessories. Go through the parts list on this page to confirm every element and colour before paying for a second-hand copy. What can I build? then compares your whole collection with other sets and shows which ones you can already put together. It is a useful check if you own several early Star Wars sets and want to see which ones are still missing a piece or two.
