The wings have the ability to move up and down, and the cockpit can also fold up to seat a minifigure. The includes a Boba Fett minifigure which was originally released in 2010 with the most recent remake of a standard sized Slave I. The set was released in a tin depicting the Slave I and Boba Fett is various positions, with Bespin in the background.
One thousand of these sets are were released in total, with 250 being sold every day during Celebration VI.
Background
The Slave I was a Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft which was stolen by Jango Fett, who later outfitted the ship with several concealed weapons systems. Jango's son Boba acquired this ship some time after his father's death, and used it several times throughout his bounty hunting career. One of these missions involved using the Slave I to transport a carbonite-encased Han Solo from Cloud City to Jabba the Hutt's Palace on Tatooine.
Notes
- The Boba Fett that is included in this set has some differences to the Boba Fett which comes in 9496 Desert Skiff. For instance, in this set it has no jetpack, rangefinder, cape, nor blaster, and uses a regular 2012 Stormtrooper head instead of the minifigure's usual head (featured in 8097 Slave I and 9496 Desert Skiff).
