Black Series TIE Fighter

[Gorn Captain]

I was lucky enough to trade this for some left-over stuff.
One serious problem: I just cannot get the pilot into his chair. They added these weird pincer-like braces (that don't budge at all), and I'm afraid to snap them off. He's just too bulky to get in between them.
I also miss some weathering on the panels.

But apart from that, great piece. Now where will I put it? That thing is huge...

Btw, there's a big "1" on the box. Will we be getting more vehicles, an X-Wing perhaps?

I saw one of these at Target today displayed out of the box...the $169 price tag is a joke. That's a $75 vehicle TOPS. It's only 33% larger than the classic TIE with larger solar panels which was $40.

My son has one and it's a pretty impressive Tie Fighter I must say, and honestly seems like 133% larger than a regular one. It dominates wherever you decide to put it.

I have to say, it really is massive. Yeah, expensive, but when you see it in front of you, you go "wow!".
Could have used more weathering, the panels are very bland.
But I love it.

While I certainly appreciate the size, I just don't see the value. The new AT-AT that came out only a few years ago was just as large, featured articulation and electronic lights and sounds out the wazoo and cost $100.

Ever since Disney took over they've gotten extremely greedy. Same with Marvel.

But hey, if you like it and think it's worth the money that's all that matters.

[drquest]

My son has that AT-AT as well and there's no comparison. The tie fighter is cooler. But I do agree, all of it is too expensive.

I was lucky enough to trade it for some stuff I didn't want anymore, I wouldn't have paid the asking price. That's out of my league and, as you said, too much.
