At 1,996 pieces it&#8217;s the biggest Slave I to date and certainly looks to maintain the quality of appearance standards of the UCS line.  It&#8217;s also Lego&#8217;s latest attempt at a Star Wars kit that is to scale (or close to scale) to their minifigs.  Speaking of minifigs, this kit includes a new Boba Fett ESB paint\/print scheme (for the variant hunters), Han Solo both in and out of carbonite, as well as a Stormtrooper and Bespin Guard.  Priced at $199.99 this kit may be a bit pricey for the casual collectors, but unlike some other UCS models this one looks like it rates high on the playability scale.<\/p>\n<p>Pros:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Who doesn&#8217;t love Legos?<\/li>\n<li>Larger kit size create a more streamlined and less blocky look more closely matching the look of the original ILM model<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stickers.  This kit has a lot of stickers.<\/li>\n<li>Boba is still sporting a Jango Fett Geonosis model jet pack.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>My take:<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m getting at least one.  The Lego UCS line appreciates in value dramatically after a run ends so for those of us that sometimes sell off collection pieces to fund new ones these are a good investment.  Plus it&#8217;s Slave-1, so come on!  I&#8217;m looking forward to building it and displaying it &#8220;in pursuit&#8221; of my 10179 Millennium Falcon.<\/p>\n<div class=\"externalMultimedia\" style=\"\"><div class=\"externalMultimediaImage id\" style=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobafettfanclub.com\/multimedia\/galleries\/2937\/\" target=\"_parent\" class=\"\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobafettfanclub.com\/tn\/640x640\/multimedia\/galleries\/albums\/userpics\/10001\/lego-75060-box.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobafettfanclub.com\/tn\/1280x1280\/multimedia\/galleries\/albums\/userpics\/10001\/lego-75060-box.png 2x\" alt=\"LEGO Slave I (75060), Box (2014) \"><p style=\"font-size:1em; font-color:inherit\">LEGO Slave I (75060), Box (2014) <\/p><\/a><\/div>\n<br style=\"clear:both;\" \/><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Upcoming Bounty is a series of editorial posts about newly released and\/or newly announced Boba Fett collectibles, giving you the...<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4443","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-collectibles"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bobafettfanclub.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4443","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bobafettfanclub.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bobafettfanclub.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bobafettfanclub.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bobafettfanclub.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4443"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bobafettfanclub.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4443\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bobafettfanclub.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4443"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bobafettfanclub.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4443"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bobafettfanclub.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4443"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
