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

Not particularly challenging, but the end product is well worth it. Unmistakable TIE fighter design speaks to the heart of all Star Wars fans. Nothing stands out during the build process. Everything was straightforward and reasonable, but when everything came together, it really is an impressive Lego set.

another great LEGO product

Caveat - Star Wars came out while we were both young so weve grown up and then grown old watching the story unfold. Ditto for Legos. Whats better than Star Wars or Legos? Anything that combines the two...and this little specimen is even better than most. Very cool shape, small size which is a disappointment but gets high marks on the cool and collectable factor.

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.

My 5 year old son is a huge Lego fan and loves to build and rebuild the sets, often seeing what modifications he can make to call the build his own. Needless to say, he was ecstatic when the tie fighter box came out and the bags were laid on the table, and I was equally so as I was able to share a bit of my childhood with him in the process. While its quite a large set (496 pieces), the bags are labeled by number, and the instructions follow those bag numbers. This means you can pull out a single bag and build a portion of the tie fighter without the need to open all the bags at once. As you move on to a portion of the instructions that requires a new bag, you match the instructions to the bag number and continue building. Its worth noting, this set shares some of the Lego Technic pieces and processes for connection, so its important that you orient portions of the build correctly (specifically the wing inserts) so they all fit together. Overall, if you or your child enjoy Legos as much as my son and I do, youll enjoy this set and as a bonus you dont need to be a Star Wars fan to enjoy the build!

I find that the red color makes it difficult to travel to worlds where I don’t want to be recognized. However, if you want to make a statement when landing on a Death Star (versus the run-of-the-mill gray, black and white transportation) then this is your ship. And given the tenuous lifespan of Death Stars, this ship will get you safely away fast, reliably and in style.

This ship has a really cool design and was a fun build. The minifigure selection is also great. A set thats definitely worth it.

A bit more solid when completed than previous versions of the Tie Fighters

Fun set! The colors and pattern design make this one really stick out.

This was a big hit. Very cool.
