As you can probably see from the picture, the LEGO Ultimate Collectors Series TIE Fighter is one humongous model. It costs $199.99 and includes a massive 1685 pieces. When built, it measures 31cm long, 31cm wide and 47cm high which is huge although most of that space is empty. The cockpit features an opening hatch, which is printed, to allow you to get in. Inside there is a pilots seat and a detailed control yolk. Around the sides are stickered pieces to add extra detail to the inside. There are also some other nice details around the cockpit area such as the printed, clear windscreen piece and the laser blaster. The wings are a separate assembly to the main model and clip on at the end. They have as much detail as they need but are not overdone to more than they are in the films which is nice. The fighter itself can be posed upon a buildable stand that looks good and allows the TIE to be well displayed. At the base is a plaque with some information about the ship and some space to put the one minifigure that's included; a TIE Pilot with a Blaster Pistol. In conclusion, I think this, like the title says, is an ultimate piece for collectors. It looks great and the detail is fantastic. There is no play value but that's not the aim of this model. It's made for the build and to be displayed and in those areas it does great but it could maybe be a bit cheaper.
