 "We'll have to destroy them ship-to-ship." March 22, 2009

Lego celebrate 10 years of Star Wars kits this year and start the collection with a very welcome update of Darth Vader's Sienar Fleet Systems TIE Advanced X-1.
The model is a vast improvement over the previous releases in kits 7150 or 10131 and they have finally done away with the dreadful blue highlights and give the ship a more accurate colour scheme of greys and blacks with some nice detailing as well.
The fighter features an opening cockpit which hinges the whole front window section upward to reveal a seating area for Vader. There is a clip on the underside aft hull which you can clip his lightsabre onto.
A nice touch in the redesign are the missile launchers just to each side of the cockpit. They are the standard flick-missile type and there are two levers in the upper aft hull which you push forward to fire them.
The TIE Advanced X-1 is 16 cm long (length of wing), 18 cm wide (wing to wing) and 10 cm tall (lower to upper wing edge).
The Darth Vader figure that comes with the kit is the same as the one from 2008's 10188 Death Star and he comes equipped with his trademark red lightsabre.
The kit comprises 241 pieces (not including figures and weapons), has 4 decals to apply and takes about 15 minutes to build.
A great ship and the best version of this fighter to date.

Sturdy toy, doeesn't disintegrate as soon as a child picks it up, as can be the case with some Star Wars Lego kits. Doesn't take long to put together, so making it a quick build (not a good thing if you get most of the enjoyment from the build).

It is good for flying around the house and it is great fun to assemble. It is quite rare to find a Darth Vader and a red light sabre. I like the picture on the front of the box. It makes me imagine that I am really there. It took me an hour and a half to assemble it and it was good fun. I wanted it because none of my friends had it before me. I think that it is second only to Death Star as a model because it does not have many figures to assemble. However Death Star is a lot more expensive because it costs more that £100.
Birthday Present for 5 Year Old June 28, 2010

The service and supply of this product was brilliant it came very quickly and there were no problems at all so thanks Amazon for great service. My 5 year old nephew was delighted with his present, he had raved about wanting one of these for months. He and his brother disappeared with it and not a sound was heard from them all afternoon so I can only guess that they had loads of fun and it was a huge success. Lego is generally educational even if it's teaching them to take care of things and look after the small parts or they get lost!! Overall a very happy little boy.
LOVE LEGO AND DARTH June 24, 2010
PAUHLA (FRANCE)
Bought this Darth Vader Tie fighter spaceship for my sons 5th birthday. He is a MASSIVE lego fan and loves Starwars too, particularly Darth Vader. Personally I had a lot of fun helping him put it together and the little Darth Vader figure is impossibly cute!! Although, being lego, it can come apart easily, I feel it teaches kids how to be careful with fragile things and if all else fails they can put it back together again. Thoroughly recommend. A toy that keeps on giving.
