Shipped in its own box!
By Ryan S.
I'm just going to write a quick review because... WOW, I can't believe this. I hope you guys who like MIMB, or at least nice looking packaging, order some stuff along with the Slave I so that it *hopefully* gets tossed into a larger shipping box. I preordered just the Slave I, and Amazon shipped it out without any other packaging around it! Mind you, I'm going to open this and display it, but I WOULD HAVE liked a nice condition box to keep!

The only packaging I've kept for my SW toys are these "retro" vintage style boxes. Especially for the price point I paid (seventy), I consider the box part of the purchase price. Well, at least it looks vintage... like it's been kicked around for 30+ years! Very disappointed Amazon! Shame on you! I would give this one star for Amazon's lack of effort. Toy itself I'm sure is great (haven't opened it yet).

Slave 1!
By Enjolras
UPDATE: Apparently, some of the wings on the Slave 1 ship don't lock appropriately in flight mode. There's a pretty simple fix. I posted a link in the comments section.

I remember getting the old versions of Slave 1 back during the mid-1990s. They were great for the time, but in retrospect pretty poor quality. The ship was always too narrow and the proportions distorted.

It took 17 years, but we finally have a Slave 1 vehicle that looks just like the version Boba Fett drove in Empire Strikes Back. This is a beautiful ship. The base is based on the Clone Wars Jango Fett Slave 1, which was painted blue. This one is painted with ESB-accurate colors and even includes the detailed color patterns on the hull and a detailed control panel inside the cockpit.

My only complaint is the missile-firing guns. I hate when Hasbro adds these spring-launching missiles to vehicles. They look tacky and barely work. I've never met a single person who liked them, and I detested them when I was a kid. When you remove the missiles, the guns still look movie-accurate, but they should be there in the first place.

I've seen a lot of complaints about the value and price. I think we're all going to have to accept that prices have gone up. It's nice to see that, unlike with the figure line, quality has also gone up. The price isn't great, but it's acceptable and well worth it for fans of Fett.

Definitely recommended. After this ship, I don't think Hasbro will ever need to make another Slave 1 again.

UPDATE: Some fans are upset about the packaging being damaged. Honestly, I don't care about the packaging, so I didn't mention it. But, unfortunately, Amazon shipped this without a box so if you want a pristine package you probably won't get it. Major faux pas on Amazon's part, but again it didn't really affect my enjoyment of it. Some people have said if you order it "as a gift" Amazon will take greater care in the packaging.

Great toy poor shipping
By John Rampino
The Toy is great. Wonderful retro feel, small issue with the spring can be fixed when I have time, no problem. Came in white Hasbro box no outer shipping box, some damage to carton affect small corner on item box. Would have like to have had avoided that. Toy easy to put together goes great with the rest of the collection
