I am writing to disagree vehemently with the previous reviewer. Perhaps her son is too young? My son is 5 and he plays with his hasbro star wars toys almost every day and is pretty rough with them. The pieces just snap right back on if they pop off. I am very impressed with the durability and the detail on this toy. Also, I want to add that I have contacted Hasbro customer service about a game that we have and they could not have been nicer and promptly sent replacement parts free of charge.

I bought this for my son as a gift for Christmas when he was still 4. He loves space ships and still plays with it at least once a week. I bought him the Y-Wing Fighter for his 5th birthday and we play together 1-2 nights a week with me being one space ship and him being the other one. Both space ships have been extremely durable and have an amazing amount of detail. The wings come off as a way to prevent causing permanent damage to the space ship if it gets stepped on or dropped. It is also fun to take one off on purpose to pretend the space ship has been damaged and needs to be fixed.

OK, the wings stay on like a loose tooth the first month, after a few 1000 wing attachment tries - these wings flop everywhere. I used to like this toy because it looks cool, but my 5 yo son is always fixing it, I get depressed just watching him waste his life fixing another garbage Hasbro Star Wars toy - and don't give me that line "Well the wings are designed to break away..."

Kids toys should be made to take a beating. Period. I don't like the pc belief that these toys are actually designed to break - I mean, is a kid going to be killed if they screw on the wings??? Most likely 99% of them would enjoy this toy more.

I hate the fact that fans let Hasbro get away with murder by dishing out Star Wars toys that fall apart. Thank God Hasbro isn't in the parachute business...but Star Wars fans would probably still buy them while plummeting to their death...

Lego at least gets Star Wars right.

This has to be my favorite of the collection. Its durable for the kids but still extremly cool for the collector. This being the last of the Lucas saga, I would not be surprised that its value will increase. I dont really care about the value, all I know is my son loves being the one with Darth Vaders Tie Starfighter.

My grandson was very happy to get this and he plays with it a lot. It was nice to not have to wait long for it to come.

This is the Tie Advanced Starfighter flown by Darth Vader in Episode IV(I would have made it his regualar duty to fly it in all episodes). I cool ship and virtually indistructable as in the polycarb-like plastic but some peices could get lost and childeren could get those guns in thier mouths if they fall out of the front(the only loose peices). Darth Vader does look cool in the octo-pain windshield. Without his helmet too.
education is the design of the grid solar sails(yes that is what those flanks are..) Lucas can be a jerk but he is smart in designing and it was he who desinged this detail initially.

In regards to 'Mad Momma's review; your maam are nuts!. Not only did hasbro do a superior job of re-creating the 1977 kenner version, but its thoughly rugged, the elimination of the ejectable wings from this toy makes the attachment of them more securable than ever. Hower keep in mind the entire weigh of the toy is supported by a suface area of 1/16" of bent molded plastic any substantial weight will naturally pop of the wings because of the design. Get over it lady!. This is a excellent star wars toys. 5 stars across the board!!!

My son received this toy for a birthday gift today. So far he has managed to play with it for less than 2 minutes before the wings promptly fell off. So far he received alot of Hasbro Star Wars toys (transformers and action figures) and they have all been complete junk. None of them have held together for more than a few hours. What a complete waste of money. I would completely steer clear of all Hasbro Star Wars toys. We have had a horrible experience with each one. I have contacted Hasbro customer service and received the run-around. Don't waste your money!
