Definitely needs a remake soon

Hot take: The TIE Advanced is probably the least interesting TIE design in Star Wars.
Though not necessarily the worst design... that will always belong to 75272

Because “The Force.” It was binding your galaxies together."

"Remember, the force will be with you, always"

Why do people dis 75272 so much? I love it's red and black colour scheme. It looks so good!

I regret missing this at retail. Hope we will see a remake soon.

Vader's fighter was 'good', but its REAL contribution to the Empire was as a 'baseplate' for the TIE Bomber and TIE Interceptor (the latter being my fave Imperial fighter).

Hmm, thought this was 8017 at first.

Because it literally can't stay up on its own"

I was talking about the looks.

Oh the first time I've seen this in the movie... Oh boy... Then they made a Lego version of it years later... I got the minifigure version though, not this UCS. I don't regret my decision.

Looks a lot more tank-like when its this brick-built and greebled

Triple Double Star Wars and Double Doubling Star Wars!

Double Star Wars!

I think we need a new play sized version of Vader’s TIE. But a new UCS one would be interesting, too. I wonder what they’d use for the canopy.

I'd argue that the least interesting TIE was the Droid TIE from 10131.

As did I, although I quickly realized, "Oh, wait, that's the UCS one." I was a bit disappointed, as I have 8017, and it's always nice when I have the RSotD. RMotD is still cool, but many minifigs appear in more than one set, so it's less special.

I am a bit surprised we haven't seen a remake of this yet - 2005-2009 or so had a number of cool UCS set concepts that have never been revisited. I think part of it is that they had a clear focus on smaller and cheaper ones then, which doesn't really seem to be a focal point now. Also - they have been targeting a number of ones we'd never had before, even if they're somewhat boring (like the Landspeeder). I saw that, but ultimately I think I'd be uninterested in buying a new UCS one. Most of my tastes are for prequel stuff now, which I think has more interesting opportunities. A fair amount of progress has been made on that front!

I'm more impressed we haven't gotten a playscale TIE Advanced in years. I mean, we've had like 3 X-Wings, and no TIE Advanced since the Rebels version, if I remember correctly. Especially now that we've had a modern bomber and interceptor, I think it's high time.

All this talk of best/worst TIE designs and nobody mentioned 7664 ?

I thought we all agreed never to mention that hot mess ever again?

Yeah, whoever came up with the idea to make an armored vehicle out of a very flimsy starfighter was on spice or something.

I remember when this was one of the biggest sets that came out. Good times....

I think it has held up fairly well
