Until the new sets come out in August, I thought I'd post a few of my older sets to catch up a bit. The Slave I is a good place to start. This one was actually an anniversary present from my wife a few years ago (saying was from my wife seems a bit redundant, doesn't it? Not like I get a lot of anniversary gifts from other people).
The front view. I think this one is the best one of the three Slave I variants (the original #7144, and Jango Fett's #7153).
Hidden missile compartments... There is also supposed to be a spring-loaded missile launcher in the center, but I sealed it up. I also sealed up the bomb compartment.
Weapon storage in the rear section. This was way before the new pistol & rifle designs came out.
And don't forget storage for Han Solo, frozen in carbonite. The black knob on the side raises and lowers the storage ramp.
Boba Fett's seat stays level as the Slave I goes from horizontal to vertical.
The set also came with Dengar, IG-88, and a Bespin Guard (which I put in the Cloud Car with Lobot). The Slave I has an excellent "swoosh factor" and is great fun when having air battles with the kids.
