Get it. Build it. Love it. Hidden weapons, bunchanew parts, swivling cockpit, peekabo engine, midnight blue, light forest green (made to go with lite grey), and faring pieces to spare. A little pricey (TRU $69 CAD), but the most fun I've had (...) (23 years ago, 27-Apr-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)

I'll have to agree, Gil. 7153 is a great improvement on the previous version. I was among those who were originally a bit puzzled by two Slave 1 sets, but I'm glad TLC gave it a facelift. I filled in the open gaps under the cockpit, and made the (...) (23 years ago, 27-Apr-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)

I love the new colors and pieces. I think the new dark blue will be my favorite new color. The new pieces are also especially good, particularly the faring pieces. The proportions and shape of the model are also much better than the first. It also (...) (23 years ago, 28-Apr-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)

(...) Intregity is Key, you want to keep things similar to the target design, but usually that intergiry is traded for, instead, a weak structural design. When I think of this, I try to look back to the 7130 Snowspeeder, which made equal compromise (...) (23 years ago, 28-Apr-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)

Matt, Good idea with the struts...much improved. I figure with a few other slight modifications, it will be a more 'space worthy' design. I figure I'll wait until I see it in action to tinker with it.... Cheers, -G (...) (23 years ago, 28-Apr-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)

Gents, Strange that you mention the integrity issue. I've read a few other posts describing the same problem and expected it. However, the completed model is extremely solid...definately more so than any other SW model I have with exception of the (...) (23 years ago, 28-Apr-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)

(...) Great work, Matt. The customizing looks natural in its placement (not to mention its functionality). Think I'll take some notes for when I build my Ep. II Slave I (lots of roman numerals, there). mo www.galacticbrick.com (23 years ago, 30-Apr-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.starwars)
