LEGO Star Wars Resistance Major Vonreg’s TIE Fighter 75240 Building Kit (496 Pieces)

Durable and well manufactured. Definitely not a cheap piece of equipment. Works as intended.

The LEGO Major Vonreg’s TIE Fighter is overall 4 stars. The set derives from the Star Wars Resistance animated series where it is more properly defined as a TIE Interceptor. The set includes four figures: Major Vonreg, General Leia Organa, Kaz Xiono, and the droid Bucket (R1-J5). I liked the Vonreg, Leia and Bucket figures. The ship is solidly built with a unique angular red-black color scheme. The cockpit opens in both the front and the top allowing Major Vonreg to be placed inside. You can kind of lock him in using the control column. There are two spring-loaded shooters with a central trigger on the top of the Fighter that shoots the shooters. For playability, I think this is a very good set. The red-black scheme is menacing eye-candy as you swoop and roll about the house. The rear trigger switch is placed exactly where kids hold the ship as they fly it, their thumb rocking the trigger back and forth as they fly it. Lego’s designers were spot on with this feature. We consider the MSRP to be a bit high, but it is already showing up with significant discounts that make this a much better value proposition.

This is a fun build, sturdy, looks sharp, and the phasers (or whatever) that it shoots actually fly pretty straight! (I can see why it has a safety/eye-injury warning! ) The instructions are cool in that you build it in sections, and the minifigs are spread out, so you build one minifig in 4 outta 5 sections... paces out the fun! :) I thought the Leia and Kaz minifigs seem like theyre gimmes for the set (they seem out of place for the scene) but who would turn down extraneous minifigs?? (Oh, it was weird that the Majors head under the helmet was a solid black piece with no face... You cant see thru the helmet anyway, but its the first time Ive seen that! ) I got this for about $55 so I thought it was a great deal!

I find that the red color makes it difficult to travel to worlds where I don’t want to be recognized. However, if you want to make a statement when landing on a Death Star (versus the run-of-the-mill gray, black and white transportation) then this is your ship. And given the tenuous lifespan of Death Stars, this ship will get you safely away fast, reliably and in style.

This was my first time building a lego set in years! And what a blast it was! Looks amazing!!

Love the Lego Star Wars series, fun build.

Straight from the new TV Series, Star Wars Resistance, overall this set is an excellent choice for any Lego lover. If you’re thinking about picking it up, here are some pros and cons I’ve noticed after buying this set myself. Pros: The ship does not break easily and is very swooshable. Many parts in this set are unique or hard to find. At the same time, the parts are generic looking enough to to allow kids to be able to create their own inventions without feeling limited. The two missile shooters work really well, and the set comes with a brick separator so kids (or college students like me) don’t have to bite pieces off if they accidentally stick them together. Also, all four figures are unique to this set. Major Vonreg’s red helmet in particular has been molded using two different colors (as opposed to molding it in red and painting it black, which can cause paint to chip off if played with too extensively.) Cons: Most of my gripes are minor. I have noticed that the placement of the firing mechanism makes it easy to sometimes accidentally misfire the missiles. Also, while three of the figures have double-sided heads, Major Vonreg’s head is is just a black headpiece with no face. Finally, as some of the other reviewers have noted, because the four wings are identical, the build can be a bit repetitive. I personally did not mind this as much, and I could see why others might feel the way they do. All in all, a terrific set on the whole.

Very good Lego

This was a gift. The c little boy loved it, especially because he could play with it after he put it together!

Thats it. 1-star for ToKaLand selling used @#$@ as new. No instructions, hair clip holding a bag of parts together.
