What gift do you give your child every Christmas? Buying what’s in every year might give you the run for your money. More often than not, popular children’s toys that are seasonal are priced quite steeper than any other toys. But frankly, you know that this will just collect dust under your child’s bed when the fad ends, right? If I were you, I would rather buy something that will surely last a lifetime, something that your kid will be able to grow with, something that he will love whether he is 8 or 18.
If your kid is a Star Wars fanatic, what better gift is there to give than the LEGO Star Wards Darth Vader’s Tie Fighter. This toy is something that your child would love playing with when he’s 7, playing with when he’s 10 and adding to his collection when he’s 15!

The set comes with 251 pieces which your kid can assemble, making sure he will be kept busy during his Christmas vacation. The package actually includes the original TIE Advanced x1, Darth Vader’s personal starfighter. It comes with bent wings and a hyperdrive that make it faster than the standard TIE fighter (in the movie). It also has a deflector shield that makes it feel like the original starfighter. A miniature Darth Vader comes in the box, too. Your kid can lift the nose of the starfighter to position Darth Vader as the captain of the ship. Although some parts will definitely break away from the others because it is Lego, the final product after assembly is quite sturdy and measures around 6 inches by 7 inches.

If you want to give your son something that he will remember forever this Christmas, welcome the Dark Lord of Sith, Darth Vader, aboard his TIE Advanced x1 starfighter and you will surely give your kid a wonderful surprise!

So cool   Review Date: July 1, 2010 Reviewer: M. Heiss, USA The wings on this Tie Fighter fold in, and the cockpit opens up to hold Darth Vader himself. Awesome. There is a clip underneath for Vader's light saber. These wings are much, much more durable and less prone to fall apart than the wings on the Hyena Droid Bomber, although of course they "transform" less -- these wings are hinged. Lego has the hinges down to a good science -- they are easy to build and hold up well under play conditions. This is a great toy for the money -- lots of play time on this one. Not too challenging, but enough pieces to be really fun to build. Fun toy but fragile.   Review Date: June 9, 2010 Reviewer: , I got this toy as birthday gift. It was really fun, a challenging build. It is currently in my room on a book self. Fabulous anniversary set!   Review Date: June 3, 2010 Reviewer: carolyn, Canal Winchester, OH If you have a Star Wars Lego lover in your house, DON'T pass on this set! It is extremely durable, stands up to hours of play, and of course, the intricate designs that makes Lego famous are here in full resound. The cockpit for Darth even has a special place cut out in the bricks so that he can wear his full outfit,including his mask, quite comfortably. The hatch raises and lowers and there's even a spot on the bottom for extra light sabers. This guy went together in about 45 minutes by a nine-year-old and it's just the cat's meow in the neighborhood. Darth Vader is great as a minifigure and his face is even painted on the head. Great, great toy, loved a ton in this house. Highly recommend! Very fun   Review Date: May 13, 2010 Reviewer: Eduardo Aguiar, Brasilia-DF,Brazil Lego is naturally fun. This Darth Vader's TIE Fighter is very fn to build and is very nice when done. The Darth Vader is nice too. Lego star wars Darth Vader tie fighter   Review Date: April 7, 2010 Reviewer: M. J. Schinkel, A little expensive but a lot of fun for my son of 7 who loves Star Wars. He looses some parts but seems to find them eventually. He is also able to added to it to make other star wars vehicles or ones he makes up with the other lego sets he has in his collection. Five Stars   Review Date: March 8, 2010 Reviewer: LOTR, New Orleans, LA USA My nephew loves Star Wars and loves to play with all of the lego kits for Star Wars stuff - product worked for him. Great lego set at an amazing price   Review Date: March 2, 2010 Reviewer: Daniel Levitt, This is a great deal, as you get a very nice full-featured Lego kit for a very low price compared to other Lego kits of the same size. Every Star Wars fan should get this. My 6 year-old loved it. Cheers. Awesome Lego set   Review Date: February 27, 2010 Reviewer: J. Conway, Ohio My 6 year old got this set for Christmas and while he needed some help with putting it together he was thrilled with how "cool" it is. I will say it does fall apart pretty easily, even for someone who doesn't really "play" with it... it's more of a display piece. We fixed that problem by reassembling it and super-glueing pieces together. This has worked out great. Just make sure you don't make a mistake when putting it together... because they will not come apart. He likes that he doesn't have to worry about losing peices or his little brother breaking them. We've decided to glue all the Lego sets he likes best and doesn't want to take apart. He likes this so much were shopping for more Star Wars sets. Lots of pieces!   Review Date: February 12, 2010 Reviewer: M. Falcon, South Dakota This was a good Christmas gift. Lots of small pieces so kept my son busy for a couple hours. Good basic kit   Review Date: February 11, 2010 Reviewer: J. Barasch, WDC My 6 year old nephew liked this kit but it didnt take as long to do as he would have liked. He also got the deluxe TIE fighter which was a bit much (he and his dad worked on it over a few days) - it would be really nice to have an in between level kit for kids that follow the instructions of Lego kits with little trouble.
