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

Description

The ship that carried Han Solo away

In The Empire Strikes Back, Boba Fett follows the Millennium Falcon to Cloud City and collects his prize: Han Solo, frozen in carbonite, destined for Jabba the Hutt. Slave I is the ship that carries him off. Earlier in the saga's own chronology, Attack of the Clones shows it in the hands of Jango Fett, Boba's father, chasing Obi-Wan Kenobi through the asteroid field around Geonosis. Few Star Wars ships link two trilogies quite so directly.

Polybag versus box

Two entries share the base number 6964. This one is labelled Polybag, while its sibling carries the suffix Kabaya Box. The catalogue data for both is identical: 25 pieces, 17 distinct elements and the same four main colours. In other words, a loose copy cannot be assigned to one variant just by looking at the bricks. For checking completeness that does not matter, but collectors who focus on packaging will want to know which edition they have.

Colours you rarely get

Sand green, tan, light bluish grey and reddish brown make up the palette. That is a welcome change from the greys that dominate many Star Wars sets, and it gives Slave I its distinctive, well-worn appearance. Sand green in particular is hard to find in large quantities. If you take the model apart, tan and reddish brown are ideal for desert ground, cliffs or wooden details, and the sand green parts can bring a muted accent to your own spaceships.

From bag to shelf

The build is short but varied, with 17 distinct elements among the 25 pieces. On this page you can see every element with its colour and quantity, which helps if you are checking an older copy where small parts may have gone astray over the years. With your collection saved in Bricoria, What can I build? lists the sets you can already complete. Slave I makes a characterful companion to other micro-scale ships on a shelf.
