Blasting out of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, the TIE Interceptor is the fastest fighter in the Imperial fleet! Open the cockpit canopy and fold down the instrument panel to put the TIE pilot inside and recreate your favorite classic Star Wars battles!
- Includes TIE fighter pilot!
- Cockpit opens and instrument panel folds down!
It does seem to have more pieces than the average tie fighter, but this is actually cheaper than the 7263 TIE Fighter. Of course, there's no light-up feature in this set.

YesH!! Finally... A... Tie Interceptor!!
This is probably the most anticipated for all set for all lego tie collectors worldwide, since the fighter, bomber, advanced, and even the Expanded Universe droid fighter had been released by the Lego Group.
This set is near movie-accurate, since the bottom part of it ain't. :p
The cockpit and plylons uses the same design as that of the tie advanced piloted by Darth Vader. Except for one minor change, that is the aft interior of the cockpit is strengthen this time. And this is indeed good news, since the older models had a problem of hard hinge and loose brick connection.
There's no landing gear for this set, but it doesn't require it anyway.
This tie interceptor balances perfectly on its wings.
Standard instruments panel and, of course, standard imperial pilot.
