Toys and Games Reviews of LEGO 10175 Star Wars Vader's TIE Advanced Starfighter
Customer Review: Great Kit...Questionable Durability
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great kit! It was a lot of fun to put together. If you are a Starwars and/or Lego fan, it is worth getting.
I want to post about the durability...simply for awareness. To me, lack of durability is a small enough issue that it is still worth getting. As others have mentioned, it is definitely not for playing. If you try it, there's a good chance something will come apart. Display only.
The base is...okay. It is nice in that it is unobtrusive and does not take away visually from the TIE Fighter, but because it is narrow the setup is precarious. The TIE Fighter is heavy, and even on the stand it is prone to wobbling and toppling. I brought mine to my cubicle at work...foolish perhaps...and it was knocked over by one of the cleaning people. It broke into many sections.
As an annoyance, the front of the stand relies on the seat in the cockpit to hold the model up, but there isn't anything holding the seat in place. It often pops out if you move the thing around at all. I modified the stand a bit to make it sturdier.
If it does come apart, it is tricky to put back together. Because you can't just set it down...especially if it's in pieces, you have to hold the main model in one hand and try to put it back together with the other. This is a particular problem with the "wings".
Since it is best used for display, durability is mostly inconsequential, but it may be helpful to be aware. I am going to see if I can build a sturdier base...
Oh yeah...it would be nice if it came with a Vader mini-figure...but alas... :)
