I might be in the minority here but I must disagree. Here are my points: (Note these are MY OPNIONS) 1) Jango Fetts Slave 1 (JFS1)is TOO BIG vs other ships in current Lego Star Wars (LSW) line. Thus the scale is not right. 2) JFS1 is *missing* that back ramp section unlike 7144. 3) JFS1 is not very playable as it falls apart to easily. It's structre design is too weak for any 'hand flying' aronud the room. 4) Due to it's side (JSF1) is hard for a kid to hold with one hand and use the other to hold another ship and have a space combat fight. Again playablity factor is down. This also factors into #3 where the model falls apart to easily. 5) JSF1's front part is see-thru and makes the ship so 'unrealistic' and 'incomplete'. I'm taking about the part underneath the location where Fett and Jango are at the control. Where the wings meet the body of the ship. 6) Why detail is great and I must say that JFS1 is much better in it I would prefer to have more playablity. Detail is something that the user can add onto his model if he wants to or make a UCS Salve 1. LEGO SYSTEM sets are suppose to be able playablity! UCS are about detail! I know that we cannot have it both ways detail and playablity in teh same set. But I would prefer to have a playable set over a detail one anytime. If you make the set too detail you don't leave any room for the imagaination to 'complete' the set so it looks like the movie one. Is this not contradory to what lego's motto is? Imaganation... -AHui

(...) Agreed. "Shoot him, dad!" Yeah, great role model. (...) The LEGO SW sets run the gamut in terms of scale. I think the 7140 X-Wing is scaled properly, while the Millenium Falcon (7190) or the Sith Infiltrator (7150) are not. My impression is (...) (22 years ago, 17-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I think it's the other way around. JFS1 in the film is a large ship (which Jango may have used for the transport of illegal goods, in addition to captured individuals). If we compared this to, say, the Republic Gunship (used for the transport (...) (22 years ago, 17-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)
