I got this set when it first came out in 2000. I liked it then, (I was still a kid) but now I prefer the #6209 Slave I. I don't have that one, but I would really like to. It looks a lot better, is more accurate in scale and has great minifigs. Anyway, let's get on with the review.
First there's the instruction manual.

The minifig page. I love the little photos at the top of the pages.
A random page.
The minifig included in this set is the awesome Boba Fett. This was the first set that he appeared in. The blaster is a bit ugly but that's how it was back then.
And here he is without his helmet.
Boba and Han Solo frozen in carbonite (only available in this set, #4476, #6209 and #10123).

The complete set.
Price: 7/10 - Alright for the amount of pieces that you get.
Parts: 7/10 - Alright as well. A couple of nice pieces such as the printed controls.
Playability: 8/10 - Very sturdy and swooshable! Not enough features though.
Minifigs: 9/10 - Boba Fett is a great figure and this is a relatively cheap way to get him.
Final: 7/10 - A good ship with an awesome minifig but it's way too small and there are not enough special features. I have to get the newer Slave I!
