LEGO Star Wars Tie Fighter Comparison! (2000- 2021) 7146, 7263, 9492, 75101, 75211 & 75300...

[@XxXAirsoftboyXxX]

Got the 2021 version today. I wasnt into lego the last few years, so this and the new AT ST are my first sets in years. Have to say the 2021 Tie fighter is amazing. Its defenetly sturdy and handable enough for play, yet it also is nice to display. Looks really nice and has some nice details. And the best part is, i got it for 30$. I remember having a bigger tie fighter back in the days, however much more expensive than 30$. So its really nice being able two have two minifig scale fighter, to a similar price of one older.

[@TieTheLegoGuy]

Good points, like the fact you can get a fleet of these for alot cheaper as well. Just got the AT ST. We'll see what that ones all about but the probe droid looks fantastic!

[@XxXAirsoftboyXxX]

@@TieTheLegoGuy also what's really great about the tie fighter. You can more or less easy build it into a interceptor, outlander and some other tie versions. Most of them don't need extra parts. I'll probably get a second soon just to build an interceptor. The AT ST is great in my opinion. Most likely you won't pay more than 25-40$, at this price you really get something nice. As the tie fighter, a bit small, however it has some details, looks good as display and you can definitely play with it. Only negative is you can't move the legs very much. However if it's just for display, this point is no as important.

[@Gma7788]

They're not cheap any more. They GO UP in value now.

[@TheBrickGuy909]

The First order one is my favourite I absolutely love the design and size of it. I also like how you can have 2 pilots in it, and the red strip on it I think adds such a menacing look.

[@TieTheLegoGuy]

I like the fact you can seat 2 figures as well

[@maunz5791]

I really like the 2021 one, as it is much closer to real minifig scale. The others are actually too big, compared to the size the tie fighters have in the movies. Besides that, as always, a super nice review! You are defenetly my favourite lego youtuber 👍

[@Alaedious]

Great comparison! It was fun! 😊🎉❤

[@sanccex_313]

You forgot the UCS and Junior Tie fighters man, but hey nice video, it's probably the only one on YT doing this.

[@TieTheLegoGuy]

Thanks man, and yeah maybe in a future comparison, just was dealing with minifig scale ones in this one. But having all 8 in a vid would be sick 🔥

[@natemr4482]

Great comparison the sets look really good great review 👌

[@TieTheLegoGuy]

Thx Blue 👈👈

I love comparison videos like this…to see how LEGO evolved a certain ship/set over time. First off, I love seeing light up Darth Vader make an appearance. That’s is such an awesome fig. I can’t remember if I told you, I ended up with another extra one not too long before I moved…also in excellent condition like ours. I also got the Luminara for a great deal to complete the collection of Light up Star Wars figures a couple months ago…and just a couple weeks ago, I got the police officer with a light up flashlight. His light is weak, so I need to replace the battery. But I haven’t rushed because my tiny screwdriver I use to replace the batteries on those is still packed…though I think I know exactly where (75% sure), but haven’t checked yet. The only one of these I’ve built so far is the 9492, which came out right around when I got back into LEGO as an adult. I feel like this was a lucky time to get back into LEGO, and this ship is a good example, where I think (in a lot of cases at least), there was a significant jump in design over the previous versions of Star Wars sets that came out around then. I also have 75101 that I haven’t built (before your video, I didn’t realize it had areas for two pilots). I liked the long bar pieces they used on the 9492 wings for detail and the simple plates used on the 75101/75211 almost seem like a small step backwards for that part of the design. Wondering if you had any thoughts on that one aspect, even though they have other improvements? I especially notice it on the front view (weird I know) that the plates/tiles in the middle stick out a bit in front. It’s a tiny knock for sure, but I’m thinking the 9492 did a little better with that. I may feel different when I build the 75101 and have them in front of me. I also have the instruction book for the TIE Fighter Collection 10131, which I haven’t sorted the tub yet, but there are ton of partially built parts for the TIEs with the blue in that tub…so I’m hoping that will give me a nice addition of some of the vintage TIEs to my collection. I wonder (Do you know?) are any of the TIE Fighter’s in that collection, the same as the individual ones that were sold around that time? I’ve not researched it yet. It was great to look at these and hear your thoughts. I love seeing the different years compared side by side...and your comparison was really good and insightful.

[@TieTheLegoGuy]

Jealous of the all those light up lightsaber guys you have lol. And I personally feel the 2015 is slightly better than the 2012 but its close. Also the pack, that has the same fighters as the 2004 tie if I remember right? Great set 🔥

[@AndrewNixon]

@@TieTheLegoGuy I am really stoked that I was able to get all of the light up figs for well under their value and all it great condition. It would make since about the TIEs. I have a not to research it, but ended up in work meetings all day and never got around to it. Once I get my LEGO room (home office) organized, I'm going to prioritize going through those tubs...so I can know what's in there. Maybe this weekend, I can get some stuff done. I need to clean some old stuff out, then I want to store my unbuilt sets in there...then I can build my display cases/table top desk....then I'll have so much more room to go through the tubs. When I bought it was two medium large tubs, but when I moved I tried to combine them into one larger tub, but had some overflow into a smaller tub with the instruction books. After seeing what instruction books I had, now I'm anxious to find out what's all in there...hopefully all those Star Wars sets...especially the UCS Vader's TIE.

[@EstevanSandoval-st7gm]

Not gonna lie I like the 2021 version the most

[@noahmcdonald5208]

I had the 2015 and 2018 but ended up taking them apart for pieces but I recently got the 2021 version and heavily modified it, personally I like the design of the 2021 the most but it is a little small

[@TieTheLegoGuy]

Haha I've done stuff like that before, and yeah its not a bad set, easy to amass a fleet of them as well

[@noahmcdonald5208]

@@TieTheLegoGuy true the low price point is very good for army builders

[@wolfybuilder]

Great comparison! I'm currently trying to get the 2018 TIE, but wanted to see all of the other ones out of curiosity. It's crazy how far the design has come, and I definitely agree that the 2018 version is nearly perfect. The minifigures in that set are also the best ones in my opinion. Even the "standard" TIE pilot is unique, sporting white imperial insignias on his helmet, rather than the usual silver. Overall though, very underrated video. This deserves more views and likes!

[@TieTheLegoGuy]

Hey thanks Wolfy 🙌 appreciate it. And yeah really cool to see how the tie has changed over the last 20 years

[@bricknight810]

managed to get the 2018 for £48 with the tie pilot figure only. great deal

[@TieTheLegoGuy]

Great deal 👌

[@Mr.Feather130]

I have the 2021 tie fighter set a few days ago and I love it

[@TieTheLegoGuy]

Its a pretty decent model

[@Mr.Feather130]

@@TieTheLegoGuy yeah but it had a good price unlike the 2018 tie fighter which is rather expensive

[@axelsteiner]

Sick sets

[@TieTheLegoGuy]

Thx Senor Axel 🔥

[@clone5012]

2012 and 2018 are my favourite

[@PTRAviation]

Me too

[@TieTheLegoGuy]

Same here

[@VadarVadar]

i think the 2021 changes to smaller and more playable set i the right move from Lego.

[@TieTheLegoGuy]

I like the fact its more affordable, makes it easier to mass, or just buy one lol

[@rudyrw4146]

@@TieTheLegoGuy im a new Lego Star Wars fan and let me tell you it’s very cheap to build an army with the tie fighters, and I think it’s the same scale as the new tie bomber which is perfect for a massive fleet of different types of ties

[@TieTheLegoGuy]

Completely agree, and yeah I think the bomber was made to scale with the 2021 tie

[@eoau]

Still waiting for an official Tie bomber and interceptor :(

[@TieTheLegoGuy]

Ugh I know... both are crazy overdue

[@SteelGunner76]

They’re here now in 2024! Yay 🥳 🎉

[@eoau]

@@SteelGunner76 Lol I must have typed that only a couple months before they were released

[@rt69420]

2018 TIE Fighter is the best for me. Along with the 2018 X-Wing. Their design and scale is what I like the most, albeit they are kind of pricey in comparison with their other set counterparts.

[@TieTheLegoGuy]

I personally really like those 2 as well, very well designed sets

[@Mr.Feather130]

Meh I like the 2021 tie fighter set better

[@alfabricks]

The ones from 2001 and 2005 look like a Minecraft version of a TIE Fighter lol

[@TieTheLegoGuy]

Hahaha never thought of that but now that you mention it, they definitely do

[@JamesNerdMan85]

I have the 2012 version but I lost it so I got the current version. I usually don’t buy the most current version of a set I own but I was also stressed so I bought it.

[@TieTheLegoGuy]

Ahh thats too bad, stuff like that has happened to me as well. The 2021 is pretty good honestly

[@McFrozenNuggets]

Fun fact: the 2005 TIE Fighter was previously seen in the TIE Fighter Collection from 2004, and has the exact same design.

[@TieTheLegoGuy]

Interesting, yeah funny how they did stuff like that back in the day

[@rayofdragon4278]

I think the best are from 2012-18 but I think that are overzizes

[@TieTheLegoGuy]

They are a bit actually perfect size is somewhere between the 2018 and 2021

[@sakuranoneko7818]

The lazer shot may be green colour but the lazer cannon itself is red colour dot. So the green colour is wrong display wise...

[@TieTheLegoGuy]

Ahh interesting point, both right in a way looks like. I will say though that in most images of the tie fighter that I've seen they don't light up the cannon. Personally I just take the spring loaded shooters out when I display them

[@RiddlerQM]

My 1st tie was the 2021 but I wish I had the 2018 one lol

[@TieTheLegoGuy]

Both are pretty good. 2018 is probably the goat but its a bit oversized imo

[@qwerty_1942]

is no one gonna remind him he doesn't have the UCS one??

[@TieTheLegoGuy]

This is a minifigure scale tie fighter comparison. UCS models or micro ones are not part of the review. Maybe one day I'll compare them all

[@maunz5791]

​@@TieTheLegoGuy A tie review of all tie fighters 😂 You'd have to wear a tie for that video, I'd be tied to the screen! 😜😅 Okay... enough puns for one comment...

[@lilshadow999e]

You forgot the 2019 one

[@TieTheLegoGuy]

2019 one, you mean the 2018? Its there don't worry

[@braziluss]

I have the 73000 home

[@the1andonlyjawa]

Let’s hope they don’t release another next year

[@TieTheLegoGuy]

Haha same... crazy we had 6 standard ties, and only 2 interceptors and 1 bomber

[@giannirodari8555]

The 2021 it's the worst in my opinion. The 2012 cost 50 bucks and It look so much better

[@TieTheLegoGuy]

I personally like the 2012 to 2018 ones more myself as well

[@_s_s_world_]

I think 2018 is best for proportions and size. why people talk about minifigs, nobody compare Star Destroer with minifigs or Death Star lol, its meaningless. Right propottions of parts is more important if you love original design/

[@Gma7788]

You're wrong. Stop looking at stuff from the low class perspective. You're supposed to be buying multiple quantities not 1 of each.

[@TieTheLegoGuy]

I'm trying to find which one looks most accurate to the real model and basing my favorite off that. Not sure about low class perspective 😂 I own 3 or 4 of the 2018 version
