Upcoming Bounty is a series of editorial posts about newly released and/or newly announced Boba Fett collectibles, giving you the lowdown along with a pro collector opinion on what's what.

LEGO Slave I (75060)

Available January 1, 2015 from LEGO.com is the Lego Ultimate Collectors Series Slave I, kit #75060.  At 1,996 pieces it's the biggest Slave I to date and certainly looks to maintain the quality of appearance standards of the UCS line.  It's also Lego's latest attempt at a Star Wars kit that is to scale (or close to scale) to their minifigs.  Speaking of minifigs, this kit includes a new Boba Fett ESB paint/print scheme (for the variant hunters), Han Solo both in and out of carbonite, as well as a Stormtrooper and Bespin Guard.  Priced at $199.99 this kit may be a bit pricey for the casual collectors, but unlike some other UCS models this one looks like it rates high on the playability scale.

Pros:

[list][*]Who doesn't love Legos?[/*]
[*]Larger kit size create a more streamlined and less blocky look more closely matching the look of the original ILM model[/*][/list]

Cons:

[list][*]Stickers.  This kit has a lot of stickers.[/*]
[*]Boba is still sporting a Jango Fett Geonosis model jet pack.[/*][/list]

My take:

I'm getting at least one.  The Lego UCS line appreciates in value dramatically after a run ends so for those of us that sometimes sell off collection pieces to fund new ones these are a good investment.  Plus it's Slave-1, so come on!  I'm looking forward to building it and displaying it in pursuit of my 10179 Millennium Falcon.
