LEGO Star Wars Resistance Major Vonreg’s TIE Fighter 75240 Building Kit (496 Pieces)

Great Lego

This was my first time building a lego set in years! And what a blast it was! Looks amazing!!

My nephew likes this set a lot, especially the cool minifigures. He says his only gripe is that he wishes that the wings on the TIE fighter could flap.

Soo this is a pretty addition to my Resistance v. First Order collection. I love the TIE Interceptor since the original Battlefront II on PSP. This is an ever better version than the original! Its like a mix between Vaders TIE Advanced with the wide body, wide arm-to-wing connection, and back half of the wings with the TIE Interceptors front half of the wings. That glam red is sooo much more attractive than the typical primary black and secondary grey. I also like how this, like the other recent TIEs, integrate the projectiles; it is discrete, actually part of the authentic look, and doesnt set off easily, unlike the X-Wings super-sensitive projectiles. The built of this TIE is solid, more so than the original First Order Tie thanks to that Technic internal structure. Unfortunately, that build also makes the wings a bit wobbly, but it is worth the exchange. I can swish this without worry. The minifigs included are of great value. Every minifigures comes with a non-projectile blaster (except the astromech), and each one is unique. I prefer that over the First Order Tie that, while comes with good army-building mini figures, has those officers and engineers which arent unique or intimidating. Im biased, though. Id want an army of Special Forces and Praetorian Guards for my Resistance army to fight a valiant but loosing battle against. Now the cons. This should have came with a dock to set the TIE in. The TIE tends to fall forward in non-flat surfaces, like carpet. In general, this TIE doesnt set as well as the X-Wings do. It would only take a handful of Technic pieces to hold the wings up. Then there is the original price. Wow, so not worth it. It is the most appealing set I have seen in a while, but in spite of that I would never purchase this at full price. I got it on the cheap, with a grand total of $41. I wouldnt spend more than $45 on it. The piece/$ ratio is terrible, as has been the trend over the years. I cant in good conscience suggest getting this at full price, even though it is my favorite Star Wars set.

Excellent quality item for little & big kids!

This is a reasonably easy build, with the only caveat that the four wings (two of which mirror the other two) are essentially identical, which might make it seem a little tedious for impatient builders. The symmetrical nature of the Tie Interceptor means that a mistake is easy to spot. The final model looks really nice, and makes for a large, fun toy.

Thats it. 1-star for ToKaLand selling used @#$@ as new. No instructions, hair clip holding a bag of parts together.

Another cool looking lego

My son had fun putting this together! He loves Star Wars! All the pieces were there.

This is an amazing set , the build is fun the only bad thing is the price
