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:
Terrific stuff, Lars! That play setting for the Slave 1 from the Special Offer box looks amazing! Wonderful condition by the look of things.I have the ESB Kenner Slave I with box, The ROTJ Bilogo box and I also have the special offer action play setting for the Slave I special offer box, but I am still missing the box for it.

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.Ooh that's lovely Jeremy. Well played on the upgrade
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.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.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.
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 if not please join and share your slave I with us in the thread
Excellent stuff, and also a great display!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.

Sorry to read you did not have one when you was a kid. I hope you get a loose or a mib soon 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.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
Thanks for sharing this great picture of your slave I on display in a great scene Sounds like it was your best christmas gift that year ?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.
