This review is from: LEGO Star Wars Tie Fighter 9492 (Toy)
This is Lego's newest version of the Tie Fighter. There have been a dizzying number of Tie sets: there were a few standard Tie Fighters (#7146 and #7263), Darth Vader's variant (#7150 and #8017), Tie Bomber (#4479), Tie Intercepter (#6209), and the hyper-drive equipped Tie Defender (#8087). There have been two Ultimate Collector Series (UCS) Tie Fighters: Vader's (#10175) and an Intercepter (#7181). Set 9492, introduced in January of 2012, is arguably the best of the standard, playable Tie Fighters to date. The UCS sets are in their own league as they place a premium on authenticity over playability, and carry high price tags as well. And there have been mini-scale Tie Fighters as well.

The major change with this version is the construction of the radiators, the large black hexagonal panels on each side of the craft. In addition to the usual plates, Lego has run a band of tile around the edge (a technique more commonly referred to as studs-not-on-top, or SNOT). Along with... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Piece of art, February 10, 2012
= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: LEGO Star Wars Tie Fighter 9492 (Toy)
This set is a piece of art. I was stunned that the wing borders fit on so perfectly, and there is a little piece on the front and back corners of the wing to keep the grey border from sliding off. The struts on the side look amazing and are likewise expertly crafted. The cockpit is not perfectly round but the designers did an admirable job with their choice of LEGO bricks.

I may be the minority, but I also love that it comes with flick-fire missiles. They never get old.

The minifigures are great. The TIE fighter pilot has a face under the helmet, but it's kind of pale since it is printed on a black head. Still fun, though. This is also my first Imperial Officer, which is exciting.

The wings connect to the body a lot better than previous iterations. They don't wobble as much when you're swooshing it around your house, and they don't fall off as easily. The wings are made up of lots of plates, so you have to keep an eye out for pieces coming loose during... Read more

Several good aspects about this set. Would recommend purchasing it.
- Good price per piece for a SW LEGO set
- One of the best, if not the best, TIE Fighter builds for a regular (not including UCS) LEGO. They have made several over the years.
- The cockpit is nice, and has a unique canopy piece. Nice the way it opens.
- Sturdy construction, so it can be swooshed without falling apart.
- Minifigs included with the set are very nice
- The colors of the LEGOS used for the model are nice looking.
- Looks good on display
