Here's mine. I never owned a Slave 1 as a child, but always wanted one. I was very envious of my friend who owned both this and an AT-AT (another thing I didn't have), and I've always liked it, even if it's not actually a very accurate representation of Boba Fett's ship. Kenner famously played fast and loose with the proportions and scale of the ships they made for the Star Wars trilogy, and they usually came up trumps with a great compromise between scale and look for a toy that had to be used with the action figures. The Millennium Falcon is a triumph in this regard (even though I always felt the inside was a bit of a con, since they only let you play in half the available space! :cry: ), however Slave 1, if you compare it to the actual movie ship, is IMHO one of Kenner's weaker efforts. That said, I still really like it, and I think the box art is beautiful! :)

I'm glad to see at least some of your massive Fett army has transport! :-D

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks. :) I'd probably have to live in a box if I had to have a ship for each Fett. :lol:

Used to have one of these 'til I was forced to sell up when moving in with my ex in 2006. It's high on my wish list for 2019. Nice example Andy.

sorry mate to read you had to sell the one you had. I hope you get a new one in 2019 :wink:

I also never had a slave one when I was a kid. But when I got older I bought one for myself :lol: I never knew any kids that had one. Even as I knew and played with a kid who had a huge lot of star wars toy in the good old 80s.

Great to see another beautiful palitoy box, thanks for sharing it mate 8)

Yet another fine collection from you, Lars! Great to see a Kenner ESB box on this thread, and a good Euro Bi-logo box too :)

Regarding the relative abundance of Palitoy ESB boxes, it certainly seems to have been both a popular toy at the time, but also came in a small enough box that it wasn't massively inconvenient to keep (unlike the AT-AT's, for example), but was also a tough enough box that it helped it survive better than most vintage boxes down the years.
