4 Stars Great Set But Not Without It’s Problems
This is a cool set.It has a great amount of pieces for the price.I thoroughly enjoyed putting the cockpit together.It’s one fault however is in the flimsiness in the wings.Yes,the wings will come off especially if your giving this to a small child.If your a collector this problem is easily solved by adding extra parts to strengthen the wings.Also if you have no intention of ever taking it apart invest in some superglue and that will solve your problem.I feel that if it did have these issues this definitely could have been one of the greatest Star Wars sets to come out in a long time. It’s great for display though and it comes with a super awesome Darth Vader figure!

5 Stars My son loves it!
I bought this a gift for my nine year old son and he loves it!

4 Stars Darth Vader’s TIE Fighter
It is awesome to me!!!!!! I spend all my time playing with it. It was a very challenging set to build. I hope they lower the price for the set so other kids can get it too!!

1 Star Beautiful look, but it falls apart at little more than a touch
I find it hard to understand why at Lego Design Headquarters they can come up with so many beautifully engineered sets, so that a youngster can assemble and learn from that effort, yet not understand that a child will want to play with the set too.

Assemble this Tie-fighter and let a child play a little with it and the wings come off. The arms that connect to the inner sides of the large wings are really narrow, with the wings held on by only 2 or 3 points. If the child playing with this set is really unlucky, more comes apart than the wings. The set will even disassemble when you are trying to install Darth onto his seat.

If you won’t become frustrated by having to reassemble this set basically every time your child plays with it, until you’re nearly blue-in-the-face, then go ahead.

Otherwise, I’d look elsewhere for a Tie-fighter.

4 Stars My son thinks it’s wonderful!
I don’t know too much about the star wars saga, but my son knows everything about it! and that’s enough for me.

He built the toy in 20 or 30 minutes

I am satisfied

4 Stars My 5 year-old loves it
I bought this set for my 5 year-old son. Took him about 3 half days to complete it. He absolutely loves this set. However, it can’t stand on it’s own without tipping over to the back.

4 Stars Adult LEGO Fan
Bit pricey, but you get a cool new Yoda figure and 3 Super Battle Droids with the rocket arm. Overall a nice looking set.

5 Stars my son loves it.
Bought this for my 3 yr old and he loves it. Easily portable so he carries it everywhere. Great rocket noises and fun accessories. Lower door comes off ocassionally, but easy to put it back on again.

3 Stars cute but could’ve been made alittle better
Cute toy but the door to the cockpit comes off real easy. My 2 yr old boy took it off w/in the hour.

5 Stars Wonderful – lots of play value for all ages
I don’t have much to add to the previous glowing reviews of this wonderful toy, except to say that my 12 month old (who I figured would be too young to enjoy it just yet), loves it! He likes to put the astronauts in and out of the capsule, open the doors, watch the lights blink, etc. His 3 yo sister, not surprisingly, is also very engaged with the toy, and it’s appealing for the grownups as well. I agree that the top & bottom doors seem to pop off easily, but they are also easily put back on, so this isn’t such a big deal. We also wish the alien could drive the rocket or the buggy, but perhaps some day iPlay will resolve this interspecies design flaw. Other than that we love it, and I agree that if you are looking for a quality space related toy, this is definitely worth the money!

5 Stars A Great Birthday Gift
After much searching, I purchased this as a birthday gift for my 3 year old son. It is not only a very well-made toy, but the sound effects are not so loud and annoying that the parent regrets buying it! My son really likes the figures and wants to take the “space puppy” everywhere. I highly recommend this toy and would also add that the price here is cheaper than on Target’s website (which is where I first found it but did not purchase b/c of the price).

4 Stars Cute rocket
Nice size with adorable accesories. When asked what toy he liked best this Christmas my 3 year old said “The rocket ship!” with great enthusiasm. He also got a puppy…a real one. My 1 year old loves it too.
