“This is so close to the perfect TIE that I'd be surprised if there is ever another one of this model. They'll probably do a bomber next year, and an interceptor next year and then they can never make a TIE ever again.”

FBTB
“9492 TIE Fighter puts all TIE Fighters before it to shame, and that includes the variants, such as Darth Vader's TIE Fighter and the TIE Defender. This is the definitive LEGO TIE Fighter and deserving of being in any collection, big, small, or not yet in existence.”

About Star Wars Episode IV

Episode IV covers A New Hope, the first Star Wars film from 1977, and it goes back to the first LEGO Star Wars sets of 1999, among them Luke's X-wing and landspeeder. Luke, Han and Leia had the classic yellow LEGO faces until 2004, when LEGO switched the figures of its licensed themes to flesh tones to look more like the actors.

Episode IV consists of 55 sets that ran from 1999 to 2027. As of today, NY Comic-Con 2012 Luke Skywalker's Landspeeder is the most valuable Episode IV set with an estimated new/sealed value of $1,004.
Summary
Star Wars Episode IV TIE Fighter set 9492 was released on February 2, 2012, retailing for $55, it has since been retired. New, unopened sets are valued at $117, used ones can be found for $55.
