hi Luke Lancaster here with CNET and today we're building the Star Wars Lego slave 1 at almost 2000 pieces the slave 1 Lego kit is impressively large there are 2 main sections to the ship and you'll start out by building the base the two halves of the base clip together and the cockpit and fuselage get built on top it really starts to take shape after about 2 hours of building the final step in assembly is clipping on the side pieces of the fuselage and that put our build time for the slave 1 at a little over 5 hours in 20 minutes the kit comes with four Lego minifigs you get Boba Fett himself a storm trooper a cloud city guard and Han Solo who conveniently fit inside a slab of Carbonite for delivery to Jabba the slave one has its horizontal landing mode and its vertical flight mode the wings are carefully rigged to automatically rotate based on how the ship is oriented and the cockpit swings around - but you'll have to rotate that by hand the ship features moveable weapons arrays - hidden inside concealed compartments there's even a cargo door perfect the stowing han frozen in carbonite slave 1 also comes with a stand and name plate which displays the ship in his half metre tall flight orientation that's about a foot and a half for all your Imperial subjects out there thanks for watching and be sure to check out cnet.com for more tech news and reviews
