Toy of the week 2, Week 2, 2024, Slave I Boba Fett's Spaceship

I love the movie Slave 1, and I also love the box art Kenner created. However, I've never been overly fond of the likeness Kenner gave the toy, as I think their other efforts are generally better. That said, it makes for a great toy, and is one I wish I'd owned as a child!
Since the last Toy of the Week threads, I have been fortunate enough to upgrade my Slave 1 to a better, opened, but unused example:

I agree the art on the box are really great I also love it
I also wish I had owned it when I was a kid, but I was not that luck, I got much more lego than star wars. Not that I did not like mylego. But I am sure if I had the choice I would have loved to have had more star wars than more lego.
Great update you have there. The palitoy box looks fantastic, vehicle looks mint, I love the unused stickers and instruction also looks nice.
It could have been cool if palitoy had added a big palitoy logo on the instruction like they did on the box, just like Kenner did.

Ooh that's lovely Jeremy. Well played on the upgrade
Terrific stuff, Lars! That play setting for the Slave 1 from the Special Offer box looks amazing! Wonderful condition by the look of things.
Thank you. Upgrading my old box had been a target of mine for many years, so I was very pleased when I was finally able to do it.

Congratulations @Snaketibe.
Am I correct in that the Palitoy ESB slave 1- the sticker sheet was in the baggie, and ROTJ was loose in the box ?
An eBay listing spiked my interest, and I checked old vectis sale lots.

Thanks for the kind words
Yes I would say it is nearly mint, I guess I was lucky to buy it years ago when prices was still low. I hope I can add the box for it in the future. But I fear this boxes with the special offer stickers cost to much for me today.
Thank you.
I think you may be correct, judging by @Capetown 's wonderful MIB thread: https://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/threads/my-new-mib-collection-limelight.44351/
Agreed. Surely some more members can share photos of their great Slave 1 spaceships? I'd love to see them if you doare we only 2 members left here on the forum that have a slave I vehicle

Slave1 is my favourite ship of all time! Never had chance to own one as a kid or an adult but i'm determined to get one this year, either loose or mib.
I have Boba Fetts Starship
in the vintage collection (I might even have two versions) and a mini Slave1 in Lego.
Oh and i almost forgot i have a fine molds Slave1 which I bought over 10 years ago. One day when I pluck up the courage I will get the old airbrush out and have a go at building and painting it

I do like Slave 1. Always seemed an odd sort of ship, but loved the Toy as a kid when I got it for Christmas. Thought the han in carbonite was pretty cool.
When I was deciding what to put on display in my room, Slave 1 had to be there, along with the two Bespin related pieces.

I also did not have one when I was a kid. I did not know it existed before the late 80s when I got my big brothers y-wing, then I also got the tri-logo poster with it and saw the slave one on it for the first time. I never saw it in the shops. But it was sold in denmark.Thanks for sharing this great picture of your slave I on display in a great sceneI do like Slave 1.

Sounds like it was your best christmas gift that year ? I can see a part of the box for it to the left. Do you have a picture of the box so we can see the entire box ?
Again, thanks for sharing a part of your fantastic collection

I like the Slave 1 a lot, it's got such an interesting and unusual look. And I love the way it flies. I never had it or a Boba Fett as a kid which I think has only fuelled my love of it/him as a collector. I have a nice MIB unused one but I display it loose because I want to see it. I got this early on in my collecting, it was the second ship I bought after a boxed Millennium Falcon.
