Recommendation: meh 8 / 10 by Siegfried

This is so close to the perfect TIE that I'd be surprised if there is ever another one of this model. They'll probably do a bomber next year, and an interceptor next year and then they can never make a TIE ever again.

I highly recommend this set. It's the best TIE Fighter yet and the minifigs are great. As usual though, it is expensive (£50 in the UK, probably $50-$60 in the USA) so you may want to wait for it to be on offer.

From Bricks To Bothans

by Casey "cas" Scott

9492 TIE Fighter puts all TIE Fighters before it to shame, and that includes the variants, such as Darth Vader's TIE Fighter and the TIE Defender. This is the definitive LEGO TIE Fighter and deserving of being in any collection, big, small, or not yet in existence.
