Early read · 0 reviews
Two ships, four minifigs, and a dogfight setup that looks better on shelf than the $99.99 price tag deserves — the Fang Fighter's angular Mandalorian design is the real star here, and it almost justifies the ask by itself.
Is the price fair?C-A little steep for what's here — the Fang Fighter carries the value, the TIE is coasting.
Will you love it?B-Two solid ships and four good figs make for a fun build, even if the TIE is familiar ground.
Holds its value?BModest but steady — Star Wars dogfight sets have a track record of quiet appreciation post-retirement.

The Full Take
The Fang Fighter is doing heavy lifting in this set — its rotating wing engines and aggressive silhouette make it one of the more visually distinctive Star Wars builds in recent years. The TIE Interceptor is a solid companion piece, but if you've built a TIE variant before, it won't surprise you. Four minifigs including Bo-Katan and a Mando trooper give the shelf some personality. At $99.99 for 957 pieces, the price sits on the wrong side of fair — not outrageous, but you'll feel the stretch. The build experience is genuinely engaging for both ships, with enough mechanical detail to keep adult builders in the zone. It earns a B overall because the Fang Fighter alone is worth the conversation; the TIE just comes along for the ride. Catch it on sale and this jumps a full letter grade.
