9492 Tie Fighter: LEGO works its classics

A new image for a set which rightly impressed many people when it was presented to the San Diego Comic Con in July 2011.

LEGO loves the Tie Fighter and it was time to revisit this must-have starship from the Star Wars universe since the last set released in 2005 7263 Tie Fighter. It is therefore done with a well balanced set, and which with a correct price should generate multiple purchases in order to constitute a small fleet of Tie Fighters.

I definitely like this machine, the design of the wings exudes solidity and the finish makes them more visually believable than what has been done so far. The cockpit is represented by the usual screen printed screen, hard to beat. 

The minifigs are well chosen, with a very marked Original Trilogy side. A good set for the most fundamentalists among us. Hoping that the whole is more solid than the catastrophic Vader tie from set 8017...
