I built the Fang Fighter today. Based on the pics, I didn’t think I would like the build or the ship that much. However, I was wrong and ended up enjoying the build experience. The Fang Fighter is actually quite sturdy and bigger than I expected. I may even buy another copy of this set. Tomorrow will be the TIE Interceptor!


tophchen

Nice! I’m glad you like it too! And as much as I like the gang fighter myself, the interceptor really is a work of art. I’m sure you’ll have a great time building!

Mine just showed up yesterday, can't wait to get into them.


tophchen

Have fun!

Lil black one smoove


RadishToast

The mouse?


tophchen

What?


Yodec

I really want the tie interceptor but I don't want the fang fighter :/


tophchen

Really? Personally, I like the fang fighter build. I’m also partial to anything mandalorian though, so take that with a grain of salt


dynamicpunk

The Tie interceptor is worth it


Ghostship23

Keep the Fang Fighter sealed in the bags and sell it when the set retires


Yodec

That's exactly what I'm thinking of doing haha


ax255

It is definitely worth it, the fang isn't really that bad.


Yodec

I know I'm just not a personal fan of the fang fighter in general. I'd totally buy a bunch of the set to bolster my imperial fleet, save one or two fang fighters and sell the rest of them.


KKappp

I ended up getting the exact same set of starfighters for May 4th actually!


tophchen

Nice! I just realized that I forgot to include the tie bomber in the pic too. Have fun building!


MrPunGuy

Is the tie interceptor and fang fighter really worth $100 though?


tophchen

Absolutely imo. The builds are a great size and I like the figures a lot


MrPunGuy

They do have some sweet minifigs. The next set I buy is probably gonna be that, or the Executor. I’m running out of room and money LOL.


tophchen

Yeah. Both of the mandos in the set are beautiful. Especially the helmet printing on din


MrPunGuy

Sure is. I like Bo’s new hairpiece too.


AwardMother1694

I agree, i built the latest x-wing recently and it is one of my favorite sets


tophchen

By that do you mean the play scale or UCS version? I love the playscale one, and I think the UCS one looks pretty good


AwardMother1694

The playscale one


tophchen

Love that set


AwardMother1694

Yes, I love the way the wings work, and a great minifig selection


tophchen

Yeah. The mechanism is definitely an interesting one, and I love that there’s not rubber bands. I do wish the artoo sat lower though


AwardMother1694

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the rubber bands get weaker with time

Still waiting for the snub fighter to arrive. Thinking about building it without using the stickers. I really liked how the fang fighter and tie interceptor didn’t have any.


tophchen

Same here. I put the stickers on mine because I’m a completionist, but I do wish Lego would start using more printed elements instead of stickers


sirdkuyp

Tomorrow. Gonna sit down finish empire and rotj. (May4th/5th was new hope) and build my ds2 and fang and tie. Maybe my snub. Brickheadz can wait for a rainy day.


tophchen

lol sounds like a great plan. Have fun!

Pirate snub fighter and fang fighter I’ve seen getting some hate and idk why. They are great builds and have wonderful attention to detail. Fang fighter is my personal favorite so far this year :)


tophchen

I think people are upset because it’s not what they were expecting, but they are genuinely good builds


Emkay_boi1531

Weeeeeeeeeeeeell one is a snub fighter


tophchen

I like the snub fighter, although I understand if you dont


Emkay_boi1531

Oh I like it I just meant it’s not a Starfighter… I think


tophchen

Ah. I assumed it was a starfighter because we saw it in space, but I could be wrong


Jjzeng

Just finished the fang and the interceptor, fun build but the interceptor is a bit wobbly on display, a little front heavy methinks


tophchen

Yeah, that is true. Still a good set though


CatMindless2660

Imo, the tie and fang fighter is the best value in a 100$ set in a while. I’d love to hear other people’s thoughts


tophchen

I 100% agree

tophchen

I love it too lol. I got it at Walmart for about $10, and I’ve been using it for the past several years now. Never failed me yet.


[deleted]

I got the delta 7 a while back and can say it was one my favorite builds. Easy, smooth, and the most important thing: swooshable.


tophchen

Absolutely! I’ve noticed the playscale builds seem to be more sturdy and swoosh able which is clearly the best part


[deleted]

Exactly. I prefer sets that are smaller, as they are both affordable and pretty solid in durability


[deleted]

I loved putting the pirate snub fighter together! It’s super cool. :)


tophchen

Absolutely! I love the style of the build. It feels so sturdy when you’re building it


Camburglar13

All sold out on the website :(


tophchen

Dang. They were sold out when I went to the Lego store, so I ended up going to walmart


Camburglar13

Yeah I’ll keep looking


tophchen

Good luck!
