Yeah, I was hesitant for so long, but when I heard about the $35 price, I ordered immediately. So far, I really like it. It's a great size, very detailed, well-designed, and fairly sturdy. The only Star Wars vehicles I've purchased over the past few years have been Clone Wars vehicles, and this one feels like it is of a much higher quality than those others (this ship is based on the Clone Wars Slave 1), although it's not quite as "playable" as the (other) Clone Wars vehicles. LOL, I had to indulge myself and "fly" it around the room a few times, and because of it's size, unique shape, and lack of a handle (like the smaller 2002 AotC Slave 1 (and its awesome 2004 ESB repaint) had), it's better suited as a playset/display than a vehicle used for active play. For those reasons, it's definitely better suited for us adult collectors than for kids. Once the "shiny new toy" feeling wears off, I'm sure I'll still have an equally positive opinion about it.

Yeah, this is a redeco of the Clone Wars Slave 1 that came in that impressive ToysRUs exclusive set; the set that came with the ship, young Boba, an exclusive Bossk figure, Mace Windu, and Mace's Starfighter, and some others I can't remember. At the time that set was in stores, I didn't have the cash to pick it up, but honestly, given the choice I'd easily pick this ESB deco over the CW one any day.
