4.0 out of 5 stars Cool, but dissapointing, January 1, 2005

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars 

I just got this lego today and i was SO exited. When i finished building it i loved how it looked. But after a while of playing with it i started to wish that LEGO had put more thought into it. I mean, there are 2 secret compartments on the Y-Wing but the set doesn't come with anything to put in them.And on the TIE ADVANCED there is nowhere to put Darth Vaders' light saber. And his cape gets wrincled up. Despite all of those facts it still can be fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic, must have Lego Star Wars set, May 20, 2005

The TIE Fighter/Y-Wing Lego set has been releasesd three times (1999, 2002, 2004) and is a classic Star Wars Lego set containing two great craft.

My all time favorite, the Y-Wing, is a beutiful starfighter with two hidden compartments (one detatchable), an R5-D4 unit, Rebel Pilot "Gold Leader", and a rotating twin-ion turret located above the cockpit. The Y-Wing is quite durable also.

The TIE Fighter (which is actually a TIE Advanced) is too a good starfighter that comes with Vader, his lightsaber, and his cape. Although it may not seem like it, the TIE is also durable. Some [other owners of this set] complain about Darth Vader's cape being crumpled when you insert him into the cockpit.
Solution: Take cape off, then insert Vader. Slide cape behind Lord Vader for storage.

Building the set may be a little challenging because sorting through TWO ships worth of parts to find the right piece can be hard. I sorted my pieces before building.

I highly recomend this Lego set over any other in its price catagory. Imaganitive children & adult collectors alike should definitly keep this set in mind.

This is a set I bought for my birthday a few years ago. It is a nice set, I like the Y-wing the most. It is quit sturdy with two storage compartments. It also has a red droid and pilot. The rotating turret is nice, and the engines are really cool. The tie fighter is not bad, but I do not really like it. It has Darth Vader with a cloak and light saber. It has two guns on the front. They are actually two red lights on the cockpit. The wings can and will sometimes fall off, but if you would like a tie advanced fighter it would be good. The top and bottom parts of both wings and can be adjusted to different angles. It is the most expensive Lego set I have purchased. I believe I got it the year it came out so it was fifty dollars. Now it is expensive but you might be able to get it used on eBay for cheaper. Overall this is a nice set and you could sell now or a few years later for a lot of money. So, if you like one or both of these set from the star wars movies this would be a good set.
