BrickSev Posted January 8, 2015 Actually I had to bricklink most of them. I found every photo of the model that I could and made a list of what pieces I needed. Well, that's even more impressive How did you find the "rounded unique pieces"? As far as I know, I can be wrong of course , those come only with the Slave I. Or perhaps they are exclusive to Slave I only in the "green color". I can't remember it right now Anyway, congratulations again. It's a very impressive work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrickSev Posted January 8, 2015 Thanks! And which round unique pieces are you speaking of? I can't recall the name, those near the "wings" of the starship. I think one of them is this one I rarely saw it in the size used in the Slave I but I may be wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schneeds Posted January 9, 2015 Actually I had to bricklink most of them. I found every photo of the model that I could and made a list of what pieces I needed. Do you plan on modifying the cockpit to make it seat two as in the movie? ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kohila Posted January 9, 2015 I can't recall the name, those near the "wings" of the starship. I think one of them is this one I rarely saw it in the size used in the Slave I but I may be wrong They've actually appeared in multiple sets since they debuted in the 8097 Slave I. You can see a list of available colors here. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickSev Posted January 9, 2015 They've actually appeared in multiple sets since they debuted in the 8097 Slave I. You can see a list of available colors here. :) Thank you Like I said I was not sure about it It appears in dark green it's a Slave I exclusive though, so the source I remembered of was half right. I have been away from the hobby for a quite long period, so I miss several info. Thanks again for the link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrickSev Posted January 9, 2015 I just wish we had the piece in Dark Blue. Well, perhaps one day they will release it in dark blue. They introduced several new pieces and pieces in previously unavailable colors during the years, so there is hope Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Psyence Posted January 10, 2015 Can't wait to build this one... anxious! Have it, finishing up a MOC before moving on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Delta62 Posted January 10, 2015 not bad with the price range, the slopes on the back don't bother me at all, theres a lot of stuff here that can be used for mocing. But still, i really like this set and might pick it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rishab N Posted January 10, 2015 Jangbricks has a nice review of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fire spray 31 Posted January 10, 2015 I just wish we had the piece in Dark Blue. I also wish there was dark blue. There are a few other pieces when building the Jango version that are inaccurate. I would also love some 1x4 slopes in dark blue and in bley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickSev Posted January 10, 2015 I also wish there was dark blue. There are a few other pieces when building the Jango version that are inaccurate. I would also love some 1x4 slopes in dark blue and in bley. You still did a great job, even with "inaccurate colors" your Slave I is truly impressive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
usbdevice Posted January 10, 2015 Mine finally arrived yesterday. It's truly impressive and a very enjoyable build. Only downside for me is that the large information sticker is badly printed. The blue colouring and the black background of the ship "bleeds" through the text making it almost illegible. Has anyone else seen this on theirs? Anyway, I've written to customer service about it, hopefully they can send me a replacement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickBob Studpants Posted January 10, 2015 I don't remember whether someone's already posted a comparison picture of the two latest incarnations of Boba's signature vessel, so here you go just in case: The new one is simply a thing of beauty, the old one looks like a mere toy in comparison... wait a minute Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lobot Posted January 10, 2015 Thanks Lego-Freak, it's interesting to see the size difference Mine is still on back-order, and I'm getting very impatient about it... Ironically I received a email from TLG yesterday suggesting that I should buy one, quite an odd approach when it's currently showing as 'Out of stock, will ship within 30 days' on the website Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GallardoLU Posted January 10, 2015 I don't remember whether someone's already posted a comparison picture of the two latest incarnations of Boba's signature vessel, so here you go just in case: *snip* The new one is simply a thing of beauty, the old one looks like a mere toy in comparison... wait a minute the comparison thread has a picture of every (Boba) Slave I lined up together. its pretty cool to see (and one i hope to duplicate soon, only missing 7144) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rollermonkey Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) I just opened mine and started building... Is it just my copy, or is the color reproduction in this instruction particularly awful? I was trying to figure out where the dark bley 6x8 frames were when I flipped ahead and realized that they were the light bley ones I'd passed over three times I needed. I blame the choice of a dark grey background throughout the book. Edited January 11, 2015 by rollermonkey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Regimus Posted January 11, 2015 I managed to come up with a simple fix for the wobbly side panels, but it's very awkward to attach, is anyone interested? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fire spray 31 Posted January 11, 2015 Yeah the instruction manual color was way way off. Kind of disappointing considering this was my first UCS set. Although I am NOT disappointed with the model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schneeds Posted January 11, 2015 My manual mirrors yours. Some of the pages are pretty difficult to tell on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neoconagenda Posted January 11, 2015 Good flouresent lighting is your friend in these casses of poor color reproduction. I have not laid hands on this yet but the dark grey background as RM noted cannot help matters... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I too have written to Lego customer services and heard nothing back in over a week now. This is my first UCS and although the model is brilliant, I won't be using that terrible sticker!

This is my first UCS and although the model is brilliant, I won't be using that terrible sticker! I'd suggest to call them. In my experience I noticed they tend to deal with such matters quickly via telephone than email. It may seem strange in the 21st century, I know Just give it a try and call the Customer service. I always talked with very polite persons every time I did. At least you can hear something about that matter. Just my suggestion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kohila Posted January 14, 2015 Totally managed to slip in and order the UCS Slave I when it was temporarily in stock this evening. I'm glad, too; it's already OOS again. :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
