If you've read other reviews by me you'll know I do this on my parents account because I'm too young but I love Star Wars. Here we go again... I got this set for my birthday from my NZ friend, and I really enjoyed building it. It was a quick build, so I could get straight on to playing with it. I got the Wookiee Gunship from my friend for Christmas, so I could make them battle and all that. The set itself is sturdy, and it can stand on it's wings when you fold them out. The two hatches and the moving joystick-y thing means it's easy to minifigs in which is good. The minifigs that come with the set are: TIE Fighter Pilot Imperial Officer The Inquisitor The Inquisitor has a good lightsaber hilt true to the Rebels series, and his face and body have good printing. His armour has a hook for his lightsaber hilt to clip on which is handy and his helmet looks good. The other two minifigures have decent printing but aren't very interesting. The spring loaded missile mechanism on this set works well as you twist the back to shoot them and the part you twist blends in well with the rest of the ship. I haven't given it full marks because it doesn't have too many play features, and the Inquisitor is definitely the stand out minifigure as the others are average, but it's a good set, so if you like Rebels and can get it for a discount I recommend it. more less

I think I quite like this set. The build is good and the minifigures are decent. The price is about right I think, though it could've been a little bit cheaper. Playability is not bad – swooshing around is fun – but also could've been improved. more less

This is a good build with an important minifigure (the Inquisitor) that is slightly off in appearance but cool regardless. The other two minifigs are cool, and the set is fun, but when you finish building it or hold it, this most certainly doesn't feel like a $40 set. Find it on a good sale and this becomes a very attractive ship. more less

I think it's a shame that the standard online image of the set shows the wings in folded position. It's certainly easier to stand this way; the ship quickly keels over if propped up in wings-open position. But it really doesn't do justice to this great addition to the TIE fleet. The Inquisitor is an excellent minifigure and the other two will no doubt add to any collector's range. more less
