LEGO® Boba Fett's Slave I - Mini (Kabaya Box)

Description

Two catalogue entries, one model

The catalogue lists two versions under the base number 6964: this one, labelled Kabaya Box, and a second labelled Polybag. Kabaya is a Japanese confectionery company, and the suffix marks the boxed edition. According to the data, the contents are identical, with the same 25 pieces, the same 17 distinct elements and the same main colours. The difference matters to collectors who track packaging variants, but it makes no difference once the bricks are on the table.

A bounty hunter's workhorse

Slave I first appears in The Empire Strikes Back, when Boba Fett tracks the Millennium Falcon to Cloud City and later leaves with Han Solo frozen in carbonite, bound for Jabba the Hutt. Attack of the Clones reveals the ship's earlier owner, Boba's father Jango Fett, who uses it to chase Obi-Wan Kenobi through the asteroid rings of Geonosis. Its upright, bell-like shape is unlike any other ship in the saga, which is why it stays recognisable even at micro scale.

Sand green and earthy tones

Sand green, tan, light bluish grey and reddish brown are the main colours. That is a very different palette from the greys of the Empire or the white of Rebel fighters, and it suits the weathered look of a bounty hunter's ship. For builders, the sand green elements are the most interesting, as the colour is scarce in many collections. Tan and reddish brown are useful for desert scenes, rocks and anything that should look worn or organic.

Build and check

With 17 distinct elements among 25 pieces, the build offers a fair amount of variety for its size while staying quick. The parts list on this page gives every element with its colour and quantity, so you can check a copy or rebuild the ship from your own bricks. If your collection is recorded in Bricoria, What can I build? shows which sets you could complete now, perhaps including other small ships to keep Slave I company.
