With the massive popularity of the previous versions of the Slave 1 sets, you knew LEGO would capitalize with a new version eventually.  This time around the LEGO Slave 1 8097 has been redesigned as the version Boba Fett flew in the Empire Strikes Back and comes with everything you need recreate that scene.

One of the best features of this set is the LEGO Boba Fett mini figure.  It is the most detailed Boba Fett to date and extremely accurate.  With painted on battle damage, a helmet that is not attached to the rocket pack and other details, this Boba Fett will definitely become a highly sought after mini figure once this set sells out.  If the other Slave 1 LEGO sets are any indicator, this set will absolutely sell out quickly and become a hard to find set.

Another awesome feature with the Slave 1 8097 is the LEGO Han Solo mini figure.  In other version of the Slave 1, Han Solo would be painted onto the carbonite block but in this version you get an actual mini figure that fits into the carbonite block for ultra playability.

The ship is way cool to with colors that vibe fairly well with the original Star Wars film.  Get your hands on your set fast before they sell out and the price goes way up!


LEGO Imperial Dropship 7667

LEGO Imperial Dropship 7667

LEGO 7667 is also known as the Imperial Dropship, and coming with 81 pieces, it is worth ten dollars not including shipping and handling. LEGO 7667 has LEGO Star Wars figures that come with the set - one shadowtrooper and three stormtroopers.

The LEGO 7667 was released in 2008. LEGO 7667 Imperial Starship is a light gunship, used for deploying troopers onto the battlefield. Shadowtroopers and Stormtroopers are the ones who fly the Imperial Starship. The LEGO 7667 features a laser cannon and troop platform. The LEGO 7667 measures 4 inches long, and is a simple way to start building an army. What better way to do so than to collect a pilot and three stormtroopers? In addition, the Imperial Dropship can be easily used for ambush while simultaneously knocking out a few enemies. The Dropship actually drops the soldiers, and only when you want it to.

There are cons, however. The ship is uneven when flying, as a result of not enough stormtroopers. The cockpit piece falls off every now and then, and the helmets fall off. Overall, most of the customer ratings have been a five out of ten. Everything seems to fall off, and the Dropship seems to not have enough room for the guns. It is a good LEGO set because of the boost for your Stormtrooper army.
