"This is the second big build I have done with my now 9yo daughter. It’s become a New Years tradition.
Overall the build is easy as a lot of it is making mirrored parts. The general finished look is a nice balance of sleek while still looking Lego. I would like to have seen incorporated some kind of backer in the cockpit so one could not see all the way through the ship, but I’m sure this make Boba look really cool if S1 is mounted on a display stand.
Aside from the clear cockpit shield having minor scuffs (reordered part), the only other annoyance is the cargo bay. Parts used to construct hinge prevent it from staying open when the ship is on the ground, and Carbonite Han has fallen to an untimely demise when it is lifted during play.
Speaking of play value, the back handle is great for adding that dimension. To that affect I would like to have seen a hinged cockpit. The characters included are nice, and Leia looks spot on when comparing to the one which came with our 20yo Millennium Falcon set.
Lastly, Boba’s range finder is a little long and often falls off. This aside the overall detail of his armor is very good. The cloth piece helps hide the contrasting nakedness of the arms compared to the rest of this figure.
As with Voltron, every bag was the build for an evening. Halfway through my daughter got a little bored but brightened up once S1 really began taking shape with Bag 6."
