Cons
There is perhaps no space fighter from the Star Wars franchise more popular than the TIE fighter. First appearing in the original Star Wars film, Episode IV - A New Hope, these single pilot fighter vehicles are a vital part of the Imperial fleet — so much so, that even Darth Vader himself piloted one. Now thanks to Lego Star Wars and this 1,685 piece set, you can build your very own TIE fighter.
As you can probably imagine due to the huge number of pieces that come with this product, it’s quite a detailed recreation of a TIE fighter.
