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

I got this for my six year old Grandson. It was a little advanced for him, but he did some by himself and some with help from Granddad. Its a very intricate assembly, but very impressive when completed. He loves playing with it now that its assembled, too. Its great for a little Star Wars fan! Highly recommended! Review of: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JMXW5CC LEGO Star Wars Resistance Major Vonreg’s TIE Fighter 75240 Building Kit (496 Piece) Note: Its intended for kids eight and up. They will probably be able to assemble it by themselves at that age.

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.

Very good Lego

Cool

Lots of fun putting together. Looks amazing assembled!

One huge recommendation is to completely follow the instruction. The reason being there are a few mechanisms that I am definitely not used to. There is a switch that you can move in the back to fire the laser out. It is safe enough that moving the lego set left and right it will not tiger it. It does shoot with some good force so keep away from eyes. Building this was a bit of a challenge but not too much where you would rage quit or get frustrated. The pieces are held together pretty well and it has enough support to not fall apart from the sheer weight. There are 4 nice lego figures that come with the set. I do not know two of them but there is the pilot (which does not actually have a face under the helmet), leia, a droid that is wearing what i can tell to be a rebel helmet and another rebel I have never heard of. They all come with the same blaster for the characters to hold (minus the droid) there is a random bottom piece for the droid that does not really do anything for the droid. It doesnt give it extra ability to pose. This tie fighter definitely is very unique in the red color. I grew up with star wars and most of the time i just saw it as gray. This one is pretty unique and building it was very fun. It is quite large so be aware it may take up a good amount of space. I just put this on my desk. Overall this is a great addition to the star wars collection or it is a great toy to play with.

Excellent quality item for little & big kids!

The real deal. Came on time.

Smaller than I expected. Pretty cool though. The kid I bought it for liked it.

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