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

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.

It is very easy to put together. But it looks neat after you get it together.

Among the TIE Fighters in the LEGO fleet, this version is exceptionally well engineered. This set is from the relatively smaller scale Resistance show/series, so I almost didn’t buy it, but I’m glad I did! There are several novel build features which aren’t found in the other TIE fighters - great upgrades to make this a little more fun to build. The wing attachment (Especially this) and the canon trigger are nice upgrades to the other TIE designs. Major Vonreg is an awesome character (although now somewhat diluted by the advent of the red Sith Troopers), and Bucket is a unique addition in the astromech droid line-up (rather than simple repaints of the R2 chassis). I bought this for my son to add to his collection, since the dramatic look really caught his attention, but after building it, I had to order another for my own display collection!

Lots of fun putting together. Looks amazing assembled!

Excellent ship; excellent product.

I always take my grandsons for their birthday weekend. We shop, eat...movies, etc. as this year my 6YO grandson’s birthday was preempted by Covid19, we did a FaceTime and had lunch together, and then shopped amazon! He loves it! And LEGO’s are always a good value and lots of entertainment!

Perfect

My Star Wars fans were thrilled with this lego set! They LOVE legos and star wars so this was the perfect birthday present. Lego Star Wars items are definitely pricey but Amazon usually has competitive pricing so you probably wont find a better price unless you buy used. My 7 year old twins were able to do most of the assembling themselves with just the occasional question. My only complaint is that sets like these never stay together in our house and then the pieces get mixed in with all the other legos and the set is never reassembled again. These might be better for slightly older kids who can keep the pieces together.

Cool

Great lego! Boyfriend loved it!
