This morning at the New York Toy Fair, LEGO revealed its latest addition to the Ultimate Collector Series (UCS), the 75095 Star Wars TIE Fighter. The set will be available directly through LEGO via their online store beginning May 2015, and is expected to retail in the US for $199.99.
Here are some details, provided by LEGO:
“This large-scale LEGO-brick rendition of the classic Imperial starfighter has intricate detailing, as well as an opening top hatch and an exclusive TIE Fighter Pilot minifigure with a blaster pistol. And when you want to keep it safe from Rebel attack, mount the model on the display stand and keep yourself updated with all the key facts and figures on the included fact plaque. The Ultimate Collector Series TIE Fighter is the perfect addition to your Star Wars collection! The UCS TIE Fighter measures 18.5in (47cm) high, 12in (30.6cm) long and 12.2in (31cm) wide.”
And for an up-close and personal look at the set, here is the LEGO designer video:
Seems like it is out of scale with the X-wing(s) — that’s a shame.
It seems to be in pretty good scale with the previous UCS TIE Interceptor.
I did laugh a bit when they comment about how there are also stickers, and they cut to a shot of an extremely crooked sticker.
I was getting out of the Star Wars side of Lego. But this is a lovely set and my favorite ships so I think I will have to get it.
Also, this is first time I’ve noticed it says “Disney” on the box for a SW set.
All the 2015 Star Wars sets have Disney on the boxes now. I haven’t thought to look and see if the new Marvel Avengers sets have it as well?
