Purchased the earlier interceptor build a while ago and with this new build I appreciate the lack of dark gray pieces and the detail. Great build for a price that’s not out of my game compared to some of the other UCS models. Looking forward to the release of a Red Guard bust soon.
+ General appearance is great and looks intimidating. + I Really appreciate the spherical look of the core. A step up from the wedge pieces used in the recent tie fighter. + Gribblies on the inner side of the wing plate are a great attention to detail - Window Plate can be tough to lock in without side slope pieces pushing it out. - I wish the instructions highlighted that the wings really are just mirrors. I would have saved myself some hassle by building all 4 at once instead of flipping through the same instructions 4 times. - Repairs are pretty frustrating to the wings; the shovels and gun pieces are almost guaranteed to pop-out as you fiddle about, necessitating that you dissassemble the wings from the shaft just to get everything back into place. -/+ really wish you could just place it on the floor, but the weight of the build will collapse the under wings. However you can place it with the cockpit facing upwards just fine.
fantastic display piece for sure. If you are a nutjob like me and want to hand this over to your toddlers to play with, I do recommend teaching them proper care and super gluing a few pieces: 1. angled slopes abutting the wings to the shaft 2. 1x1 bit holding shovels to the angular plate. 3. rear thrusters 4. controller plates 5. 1x1 bit holding blasters to wings (and long stemmed blasters to wings as well) 6. Some of the gribblies on inner side of wing (specifically the bits holding the bendy tube) 7. stem holding disk in place on the wings.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for your review! If you need any help or assistance in stability of the set, please reach out to us at LEGO.build/Service-BV where we will be happy to assist. In the meantime, please refrain from using any type of glue with the LEGO bircks as this can alter their shape and cause damage to them. We want you to be able to have a great (and sturdy) TIE Interceptor set!
Love this thing. The build experience was a little repetitive at times but never got boring or annoying as it was only the wings. The cock pit build was awesome and love the look and size of this set.
I liked the original alot. But the new building techniques they used in this relaunch were great. It really shaped the cockpit beautifully. I got into Star Wars Lego late unfortunately and missed out on a few iconic builds but I've been buying them as I find them. This 1 was 1 that was as good if not a little better than its original. In my opinion. Great build. Would definitely recommend it for anyone's collection. It made a nice addition to mine for sure.
