Average

#110 of 155 Star Wars sets with 200–499 pieces

This SMART Play TIE is typical on pieces (67 per $10) and slightly above par on plastic per dollar for its $69.99 price. Two minifigures is well under the usual rate, though, and early ratings are poor, 2.9 of 5 from 15 builders and near the bottom of its group, which drags it to below average.
