WOW this set is more than a Ultimate collectors well... I diden't exactly buy the set I got it from a garage sale and it was only 1$ because no one wanted to buy it but at least its still a great set.

I finally picked this set up after a seven ear delay and I have to say it was a near crime for me to have waited so long.

This set is pretty simple and has a low piece count as far as UCS sets go, and because of that, its price tag (original and current selling price on ebay/bricklink)is very steep considering what you get. All that being said, once assembled it is a gorgeous ship and an integral part to any Star Wars LEGO collection. Construction is sturdy and well conceived, and the fact that it only has stickers for the display plate will please a lot of people.

The Interceptor comes with the usual LEGO TIE styling which consists of lots of blue. While this just fine for me personally for the Minifig-scale ships, when the Interceptor is placed next to the UCS Vader's x1 Advanced Prototype, it looks a little awkward. Fortunately, it is relatively easy and inexpensive to swap out the blue pieces for dark gray and bring the ship a little more in-line with the other TIE. With the original blue, the Interceptor is gorgeous. With dark gray modifications, its simply stunning.

If you can afford it, do yourself a favor and acquire one of these sets,you won't regret it.

the tie intersepter was alwas the best tie class fighter in star wars. the detail on this ship is just incredible there is nothing wrong with this set. its too bad that they stoped making it a long time ago, if you see it in a store I EARGE YOU TO GET IT CAUSE ITS A COLLECTORES ITEM NOW!!!!!!

Another home run for Lego and their UCS's! Accompanying their UCS X-Wing, this UCS TIE Interceptor is just as good. Highly detailed and good use of color. The cockpit opens and displays a detailed interior. Altough not as large as the X-Wing, it's much easier to build and is major eye candy side-by-side the X-Wing.

I also think this is better than the giant X-Wing. The attention to detail is good everywhere except the guns, they could have had more putthoughtintoitism. I only say this 'cause I saw blown up pictures of this whole thing, and specials on the guns, and they looked different. But still, differnt piece designs are limited, and TLC did a very good job. Obviously, the price hinders most everyone except ultra Star Wars completists and people who like detailde models from buying this, but if you have the money, and you like the model, get it.
