TIE Fighter & Y-wing Reviews
Eurobricks
“This is a very well-designed set, and a good-sized one. In a single package, you get not only the dreaded Darth Vader and his personal TIE fighter, but a very nice and solid Y-Wing fighter (complete with astromech droid) piloted by Gold Leader as well.”

“This is an excellent set! The models are well thought out and there are lots of pieces for other creations. The Y-Wing is huge! The engines alone are the length of an X-Wing. I like the markings on the helmet. The TIE is also well designed. The color coordination is an... More awkward approximation of the movie TIE, but the shape and dimensions are on target. A pleasant suprise was Darth Vader having a mean, gray face under that helmet. I liked the set so much I bought a second one.”
