Review on Unleash Your Inner Engineer with LEGO Starship Building Awesome Pieces by Chris Webb

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Much smaller than the original, not proponent of renaming Slave

The first thing I would like to say about this is that I am not happy about the ship being "renamed" from Slave 1 " became. For me it makes no sense. That being said, if you compare this to the original Slave 1 Lego set, it's significantly smaller than that. The ship is about 1/3 the size of the original and has less detail. I basically got this for the Mandalorian and Boba Fett Lego figure. That being said, I'll address that first. The figures are very beautiful and detailed. However, the Mandalorian doesn't have a proper face piece under the helmet. It's just a 'black' character, which is a little annoying considering we already know what the Mandalorian looks like at the moment. Boba Fett has a face under his helmet, which is nice. The gun is a little big, but it's actually great for supporting Boba Fett and keeping him from falling. The armor is not battered and looks the same as in the series. The Mandalorian character is good and I actually use a spear to prop it up. Coming back to the ship Slave 1. The ship itself was pretty easy to build. On a scale of 1 to 10. I'd say it's around a 7 in terms of difficulty. The only problem I see with others is the rotating parts on the side. Be careful when adjusting as they break too easily. The next thing is that inside the ship there really isn't much room for anything. They fit into Boba Fett and that's it. There's a stand to hold it that you can build, but honestly it could be better. You could make one that actually attaches at the back. This only supports it without plug. That means a push in any direction will trip him, which is awful. This makes posing a bit difficult as any slight movement can cause it to topple over unless you lie on it. A small handle is built into the back so that the toy can be played with. The color and detail on Slave 1 is pretty accurate. For the price you pay I understand why the size is smaller than the original. If you put it next to the more expensive slave 1, you will see money being brought to you. The figure itself is pretty solid, apart from the wings on the side. It's not too heavy and doesn't break easily (except for the wings). Speaking of wings, it's a bit difficult for them to stay in place while moving. Overall, this is a good Lego set if you're short on space and budget. It's smaller than the original Slave 1. The figures are nice and detailed, but I'm disappointed they didn't put the Mandalorian's face inside as he took off his helmet while Slave 1 was walking around this warehouse. Also renaming this ship is terrible and makes no sense. Also, the stand should be a link, not just something to lean on. This makes it very unstable and easy to fall off. It's fairly easy to build but might be a bit advanced for a kid. My nephew actually gave up trying to finish it.
