It's time for another TnB Featured Review! This time, we'll be reviewing the latest UCS LEGO Star Wars set: 75060 Slave I. Special thanks to LEGO for sending us a review copy.

The set comes in a big LEGO box (similar to the ones that are in the $119.99 USD range, but wider).
Back of the box showing the landing position of the set along with functions and features.
The side of the box shows 4 minifigures. In this UCS set, you get Boba Fett, Han Solo, Han Solo in Carbonite, Stormtrooper and Bespin Guard. [/size]
Here's another shot at the side of the box which shows the size of the actual LEGO set. I like how they showed the measurements.
Instructions
You get a big instructions booklet that has about 300 pages.
The first few pages of the instructions talks a bit about the creator/designer of the set.
You also get a few pages with information on the actual Slave I. If you are a Star Wars fan, you probably know most of this already!
The back of the instructions booklet contains the standard "Win LEGO" ad. Great to know that they finally changed this ad (it used to be a kid).
For those that do not know how to use a brick separator, there's a page dedicated to explaining how to use it.
A very clear overview of how the build progresses! I really like how they spilt the bags up for the build. Though, some may prefer no numbered bags.
Here are some of the functions of the set. We've seen most of them on the box already.
There's also another ad for the 75059 UCS Sandcrawler set. Good marketing technique here as the Slave I is also a UCS set!
Stickers Sheet
Unfortunately, you get a sticker sheet. No printed pieces for the info stand. ):
