4.0 out of 5 stars Great Kit...Questionable Durability, January 5, 2009

This is a great kit! It was a lot of fun to put together. If you are a Starwars and/or Lego fan, it is worth getting.

I want to post about the durability...simply for awareness. To me, lack of durability is a small enough issue that it is still worth getting. As others have mentioned, it is definitely not for playing. If you try it, there's a good chance something will come apart. Display only.

The base is...okay. It is nice in that it is unobtrusive and does not take away visually from the TIE Fighter, but because it is narrow the setup is precarious. The TIE Fighter is heavy, and even on the stand it is prone to wobbling and toppling. I brought mine to my cubicle at work...foolish perhaps...and it was knocked over by one of the cleaning people. It broke into many sections.

As an annoyance, the front of the stand relies on the seat in the cockpit to hold the model up, but there isn't anything holding the seat in place. It often pops out if... Read more

This review is from: LEGO 10175 Star Wars Vader's TIE Advanced Starfighter (Toy)
This was the first lego I built since childhood, so it brings back a lot of nice childhood memory. When I was building this product, I noticed how well this lego is engineered. The body is built to be rigid and torsionally strong. And the side panels are also well engineered. You have to build the side panel exactly right otherwise the panel well curve and you can't fit it to the craft.
However, you if have a kid, who wants to play with this product after it is built, it seems to me that it is very big and heavy for a kid to play with. Also there are some parts that are snapped on to the main body which may be loosely fitted.
After it is built, it is fitted on a stand. I find that the front slot that support the stand can easily become loose and come undone as it is not very well reinforced. When you have finally finish the product and display somewhere you will find that it is a big and intimidating object you have got on your hand.

Nice model, and if you are careful, you can play with it a little. My son pretends when it falls apart that it was hit in battle. Lego's do a nice job with there Star Wars toys.
