This new set from LEGO, numbered 6209, is known as Boba Fett’s Slave I. In 2002, a similar set was Jango Fett’s Slave I.<\/p>\n

According to the Official Star Wars Web Site last week, the remodel includes a few extra features:<\/p>\n

LEGO has announced a January release for an all new enhanced edition of Boba Fett’s Slave I, which sports a sleeker new design and a beefed up 537-piece count — that’s 179 more pieces than 2002’s Jango Fett edition. What’s more, two new bounty hunter figures will debut with this set: IG-88 and Dengar.<\/p>\n

LEGO Global Partnerships and Alliances Director Jay Bruns explains the modifications featured in this latest version of Fett’s infamous ride:<\/p>\n

“This version is much more stable as the bottom has been rebuilt with an innovative new design. The ship is longer and has a more angular tail that closely resembles the movie vehicle. As with previous versions, the cockpit is on a swivel so that Boba is upright at any angle the ship is turned. There is also a new shooting function that has been built into the top of the ship just behind the cockpit which can be accessed via two doors that open and close.”<\/p>\n

In addition to Slave I, fans can also look forward to the January debut of a LEGO V-wing fighter and new designs for the TIE interceptor, A-wing, and B-wing fighters. Make sure to reserve some room in your holiday collection for these spectacular new year releases. Slave I will have a suggested retail price of $49.99.<\/BLOCKQUOTE><\/p>\n
