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

Great gift for my 23 year old LEGO lover! Proudly put on display.

good but colors were strong

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!

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.

Another cool looking lego

My son loves it.

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!

Major Vonregs Tie FIghter has 496 pieces and packs a punch! I, a Star Wars original fan, am not that familiar with the series, but my teenage daughter is. She likes it and really likes the design of this fighter. 8+ age group with a fair amount of building for a smaller building toy. 4 mini-figs: Major Vonreg, General Leia, Kaz Xiono, and Bucket(r1-J5)- you must always have a droid. The mini-figs come with simple hand weapons. Of course, lots of red but with some cool design features, and it propels a missile. The crystal hatch opens up for Vonreg. It has a sleek style and fun to build. Whats not to love? I guess Ill have to watch the series.

Fun set! The colors and pattern design make this one really stick out.
