Challenge the Rebels!

Blasting out of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, the TIE Interceptor is the fastest fighter in the Imperial fleet! Open the cockpit canopy and fold down the instrument panel to put the TIE pilot inside and recreate your favorite classic Star Wars battles!

* Includes TIE fighter pilot!
* Cockpit opens and instrument panel folds down!

Ah, yes, the TIE Interceptor, the long awaited TIE ship between many fans.

Weighing at 212 pieces, it breaks the piece per price ratio. The TIE Interceptor's cockpit is exactly like any other TIE. The Interceptor boast's its' use of the 1x1 slopes between the wings.

PROS
-A good source of blue tiles
-Nice black wing parts
-Is fairly detailed for LEGO's standard, anyway..
-Makes a good fleet along with TIE Fighters
-Stiffer cockpit opening

CONS
-The wobbly wings strike back! lol
-Multicoloured cockpit

Overall I would give this set a 8/10 because it didn't include an extra minifg/stand! <_<

From now on, I propose all set reviews use rating ranging from 6 to 10, because they seem pretty skewed towards the upper end

I am almost convinced that I do not want this TIE. I do not want any TIE.


Well, any official LEGO TIE.

Hmm, overall it doesn't look like a bad set in my opinion. I got an A-wing instead of this =]. I am also a huge fan of interceptors and i love using them in Star Wars Battlefront 2! i give 8.5
