Am I the only one who likes the old one much more?

[Charsiupao]

The old one was really nice for its time, and great value for money. I had two, and just today I dug them out of the storage box for my son who is just getting into Star Wars - still sturdy, and great fun to play with. The new one is just awesome, though, despite the price. That one is good enough to sit proudly on a mantlepiece - the grey and black, instead of blue, makes a huge difference, and of course the model looks really solid. Can't see myself getting more than one, though!

@Superdupafool lol I'm working on it right now. It should be on there in the next few minutes. I just wanted to go ahead and get the video up.

@BrickQueen ok I got the 2009 tie fighter it came with Darth Vader oh are you british or American because you sound British I'm not trying to be mean or anything but not a lot of Americans say "twenty twelve" that often
They say "two thousand twelve" great vid

I just built the 9492 today and really like it.  I got it on sale from Amazon so I only paid $35 or so for it.  It's a nice upgrade from the 7146 set or the 7263 version with the light-up lightsaber-equipped Vader.  Quite a bit larger and heavier than the older versions of the sets.  Nice figures, too. However, BrickQueen is completely correct that the value for the older one was great.  In fact, I remember picking up 7146 and the 7144 Slave I on a BOGO 1/2 off sale at Kmart in 2002.   Now I just have to terrify people by getting the parts from Bricklink to change 9492 to a blue scheme.

One thing always bugs me about LEGO's TIE ships, and MAYBE it's just me nitpicking or just being a nerd (which I am btw), but it's that they always come with red parts where the lasers would be. In the movies, the rebels shoot red, and the TIE fighters shot green blasts.

The old storm trooper looked like it had a mustache

I really like this review so when I watch't this review I wanted this set so the next day I went to the closes supermarket and got it and loved it s o Thank You Brick Queen :-)

[thesweuteen]

I think the size of the old one I think is more accurate. Plus it would be easier to fly around. I don't like the blue though.

[skabcat]

Wow, lego sure has changed a lot on thier designs.

[FancyPantsBionicle]

I think I have at least two of the old tie fighters.

[dartniels]

Lol i got the old one and it came with a darth vader with a powerd light saber is that normal or is it a special thing

[WPGJetsfan]

The 2012 TIE fighter better because it's bigger no blue pieces (but I like the colour blue though) two more minifigures looks like the movie version & more pieces.

[BrickQueen]

@Superdupafool I'm American but I do like the British and Australians and anyone else who likes Lego =P

[MrPytte]

haha on the old stormtrooper, it looks like he has a mustache!

[brickboy]

[MyAlterBrian]
