 Great Gift for Star Wars Fans September 9, 2009

I bought this Lego as a birthday present for my son--needless to say he is a great Star Wars Fan-- who turned 8. This is definitively the most accurate Lego I have bought to him. The design is just like the original TIE Fighter even the wings bend a bit to simulate the flying. Just a little remark and it is that if you are buying this toy for children under 7, you need to be near them as the booklet is not very specific on how to assemble the parts at some points. Also, it is not meant for rough play as parts fall apart easily. Besides that, I can tell you that any Star Wars lover will not be disappointed with this toy.
Really excellent set, with fun, stable features! December 2, 2009

This set is a great recreation of the ship seen in the original Star Wars movie (A New Hope). It features a workable cockpit hatch, firing missiles, and fold-able wings. The Darth Vader figure included is also spot-on with a removable mask and lightsaber. He sits well in the cockpit. Very nice!
A word of caution, though, in that some have complained that the wings separate too easily. Nevertheless, I think this is a good opportunity to teach children to handle their toys with proper care. Plus, it gives them patience!

I got this set for my birthday, and I was thrilled because I had really wanted a Darth Vader figure for my Lego collection. This set comes with one awesome Darth Vader figure that has a very detailed printed head and torso. He also has a black cape and a fantastic helmet. He is equipped with a silver lightsaber hilt with a red blade. The TIE Fighter itself is a fairly complex build and when finished it looks very fast and intimidating. The TIE Fighter is equipped with an opening cockpit with a seat and controls for Darth Vader. The ship is outfitted with two flick-missiles (one on each side of the cockpit) that have a mechanism to shoot them. The Fighter also has a holder for Vader's lightsaber behind the cockpit. Well, here are the basics of the set:
The good things
Darth Vader
Lightsaber
TIE Fighter
Mechanism to shoot the flick-missiles
Lightsaber holder
Opening cockpit
Printed cockpit control piece
Printed windshield piece
The bad things
Stickers
Flick-missiles
Cockpit needs more controls
Vader can not fit in the cockpit with his cape on
Over all, I highly recommend this set.
Great fun! November 16, 2009

Got this as a gift for my 7-year-old son. He was thrilled with it, "even though it's a bad guy ship." He insisted on putting it together by himself and when it got challenging he told me he didn't want any help. He was so proud of himself when he finished with it and he plays with it all the time.
Beautiful set with Darth Vader January 30, 2009

What else can I say rather than it's a Lego Star Wars set with Darth Vader?
It compliments my X-Wing featuring Luke Skywalker and I got to say that the price is excellent: don't pay more than $[...] for this!!!
