Head-to-head
LEGO Star Wars A-Wing Starfighter (UCS) vs LEGO Star Wars Slave I (UCS)
Both built. Both reviewed. Here's how they actually compare on the things that matter.
Set #75275
LEGO Star Wars A-Wing Starfighter (UCS)
The fastest Rebel fighter in the fleet, in UCS scale. Now retired and rising on the secondary market — and still one of the prettiest UCS ships ever made.
Set #75060
LEGO Star Wars Slave I (UCS)
Boba Fett's iconic ship in UCS form. Long retired, fiercely sought-after, and one of the most distinctive silhouettes in the entire UCS lineup.
