Toy of the week 2, Week 2, 2024, Slave I Boba Fett's Spaceship

[Snaketibe]

I like the Slave 1 a lot, it's got such an interesting and unusual look. And I love the way it flies. I never had it or a Boba Fett as a kid which I think has only fuelled my love of it/him as a collector. I have a nice MIB unused one but I display it loose because I want to see it. I got this early on in my collecting, it was the second ship I bought after a boxed Millennium Falcon.

Fantastic stuff! I did own a Boba Fett figure as a child (although it seemed to take an age before I finally managed to get one!), but I never owned a Slave 1. Instead, I had to enjoy one vicariously though my friend across the street from me as he owned one, along with an AT-AT and a Dagobah playset, neither of which I owned as a child either!

Thanks for sharing yours

Jeremy

Sorry to read you did not have boba or slave 1 as a kid, the same here but I am glad to see and read you have them now

That is a beautiful mint slave 1 without stickers, thanks for sharing it. It looks great on display with the other boba stuff.

What ROTJ box is it you have ? bi-logo or kenner ?

I really like the bilogo box. Could have cool if they also have made a tri-logo

I've got a boxed Kenner ESB Slave 1 (ancient photo), and an empty ROTJ Bi-Logo box with "Made in France" sticker (which has seen better days, but was very cheap)

Nice Slave 1's. Both boxes are better than most of what you see for sale these days, so well done.

Thanks for sharing

Thanks mate for sharing your slave 1 in the thread I really like how you display it and how you use lego to display the carbonite so we better can see solo in it. Funny that there was not a little display part in the box from kenner since we see him on display at jabba

I agree there are many bad boxes for sale today so this boxes are really great. Thanks for sharing the boxes with us from your collection.

Great to see the ESB kenner box, the first one for the slave 1 vehicle

Cool that the bi-logo box have a made in france sticker I do not remember I have seen that sticker before on a slave 1 box

Do you have more goals or dreams for your slave 1 collection or do you fell it is complete ?

thanks for sharing the pictures of the stand, so we can see how you made it have you thought about placeing a few grey lego tiles on the front of the legs so you can't see the lego name ?

Here's my example, Jeremy signed it for me when he was in Swindon around 2005. I was chuffed at the time but when I heard others talking about the damage signatures do to the boxes started to have second thoughts. However now I'm a bit older and give less ****s I'm glad I did get it signed. It reminds me of a great day out and a rare chance to meet him, especially now he's gone.

OK, the loose ship is from my childhood. It had a few bits missing so it's been pieced back to complete over the years. The 2 Bobas with it are...... on the left,my original childhood Fett and on the right, my cousin's original childhood Fett.

The boxed one I picked up a couple of years ago - apologies for the crap picture of that but it's in a tricky place to get at and forms a lower brick in a wall of boxed stuff

The importen thing is that you are happy with it, it is your box and you can do everything you want with it. Great memories are importen so I think it is great that you now have this signed box that always can remind your about that special day with Jeremy Bulloch, thanks for sharing it and the story and it is still a nice esb palitoy box
