Cool new TIE fighterJul 05, 2009
By Kristen
Kid's review: This lego set is full of pros and cons.
Pros: easy and fun to build, cool minifigure, awesome lightsaber storage, non flickfire missiles, and adjustable wings!
Cons: very flimsy wings, unsturdy connections.
On the left and right in the middle of the set, there is a 2x2 flat light gray piece on each end. In the extra pieces that come with the set, there are two 1x2 light gray pieces that can be placed next to the 2x2s for extra sturdiness. This set is better for being displayed on a bookshelf than for playing. Hope this review was helpful.

Learning experienceNov 19, 2009
By mama bear
My 8 year old thoroughly enjoyed the process of putting this together. It was a great learning experience on how to follow detailed instructions and the cause and effect of not doing so. The down side is that the little pieces don't stay together well and it can be very frustrating to pretend play with it. If you are looking for something to challenge someone who is creative and likes to build and create something new all the time, it's a great toy. If you are looking for something for a Star Wars fan who likes to imagine and act out their own battles and scenes, stick with a non-Lego toy.

 Bad Design!Dec 03, 2009
By M. Walker
My 7 year old son loves LEGO's and can put them together in no time. He has a whole shelf just full of them. He prefers to display them more than play with them though he does occasionally take one or two down to play with. He put this one together the other day and right from the start it kept falling apart! He was so frustrated with it that he actually asked me to return it for a refund! Badly designed in my opinion and apparently a few others agree.

 Prepare to defend the Death Star!!Jan 28, 2010
By Lego Maniac 101
"C.P.H."
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.
