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

My son had fun putting this together! He loves Star Wars! All the pieces were there.

LEGOs Major Vonregs TIE Fighter set is an enjoyable build, but since you have to make 4 identical wings, youll be doing the same thing four times over. I didnt mind, however, since the wings are ingeniously constructed and fun to assemble. The entire TIE Fighter is really thoughtfully assembled, in fact, and took me about an hour to leisurely construct. LEGO includes a brick remover tool and some extra pieces in the set. The instruction booklet is well illustrated and easy to follow. Once assembled the TIE Fighter is large in size at about 8 inches long from front-to-back and side-to-side. The cockpit of the Fighter opens up from the front and top to accommodate a mini-figure. Speaking of, 4 mini-figure are included with the set. There is Major Vanreg, he doesnt have a face, just a helmet. General Lea and Kaz Xiono who both have two faces to choose from, and Bucket (R1-J5) the adorable droid. Each of the human mini-figures also includes a small pistol. Speaking of things shooting, the TIE Fighter has two missiles that it launches from below the cockpit. The missiles are released by flicking a switch on the top rear of the TIE Fighter. The missiles shoot with some force so they travel a good distance. All in all... a great Star Wars LEGO set.

My nephew loved the tie fighter and put it together in an hour.

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

Great quality lego set with spare parts. My 6 year old son loved helping.

I was just a little boy when I saw my first Star Wars movie and Im still watching the new ones today. For me, this set is one that you put together and set on your bookshelf or set. It was a fun build and our kids desperately want to play with it obviously but its all mine.

Not particularly challenging, but the end product is well worth it. Unmistakable TIE fighter design speaks to the heart of all Star Wars fans. Nothing stands out during the build process. Everything was straightforward and reasonable, but when everything came together, it really is an impressive Lego set.

Solid red color and unique design.

My 6 year old was able to build it on his own. He loves it!

LEGO has released a great many TIE fighter variants in the twenty years theyve been producing Star Wars sets. This may seem repetitive to the casual observer but the many nuances of TIE design in the films and shows provide ample source material for some varied and fun builds. Major Vonregs TIE Fighter stands out in the crowd with its bold red colors, design inspired by but not a copy of the loved TIE Interceptor which debuted in Return of the Jedi, and a not-large but key selection of minifigures. The red is the most outstanding visual element of this TIE. It looks exciting and jumps off the shelf or table once constructed. With any TIE there is a bit of repetition in building the wings but the notched design of these provides some interest when working through the panels, even the fourth time around. As with most current Star Wars models, the construction is rock solid and the TIE can stand up to heavy play. The wing connections are quite interesting and extremely sturdy once in place. Its great to get Kaz and Bucket as two hero leads from the show. Right now there are only two sets based on the Resistance animated show and the selection of heroes is thin, so these are welcome. Major Vonreg, while lacking a face under the helmet, has a nice design and fits the aesthetic well. The Leia design is inspired by her appearance in The Force Awakens and its always great to add a Leia minifig to your collection. Hope to see LEGO release more sets based on Resistance, especially ones from the hero vehicle selection. With Resistance about to start its final season we will see!
