For the 10th year celebration of LEGO Star Wars, LEGO 8017 - Darth Vader’s personal TIE Fighter has been released. When constructed, this dark grey TIE fighter with red lasers on the front is an amazingly close replica of the Seth Lord’s personal fighter shown in the final battle of Episode IV: A New Hope. With an opening cockpit canopy, it is easy to place the included mini figure of LEGO Darth Vader (with cloak off) at the controls of his personal fighter.
Our favorite Seth Lord, Darth Vader has a new advanced model of the TIE fighter rather than the standard model. X-wing starfighters should prove no match to this tweeked out fighter of the dark lord’s. This vessel is customized with bent wings, a deflector shield, a hyperdrive and special flick firing missles. The missles stay fairly well hidden until the lever is activated to make them fire.
The LEGO 8017 brick set contains 251 pieces. Recommended for ages 7 - 12, the Darth Vader TIE Fighter brick set has warnings for children under age 3 as it contains small parts and represents a choking hazard to small children.
