LEGO Star Wars UCS TIE Interceptor REVIEW | Set 75382

[@SolidBrixStudios]

One note: The Interceptor retails for $230 (not $240 like I assumed), my apologies guys, I made this video back in March 😅 …I still stand by my opinion at the end.

[@aurebeshbricks]

That's great! I can't wait to get it!

[@christopherwilliams5808]

Probably a typo from LEGO.

[@jasonwinterboer5232]

Hey David, I always love your reviews! This set looks amazing - thank you for sharing it with us!! However, recently I feel you've not been fair in your evaluation of price per piece value. I know we in the Lego community have long held that a $0.10 per piece is fair value.... but perhaps for too long - going on almost 10 years to my recollection. With the cost of living increases and general inflation of prices (at least here in the US), I feel we've come to a point where a $0.12-$0.14 price per piece standard should not only be expected, but accepted. I know no one is happy about price increases - but as someone at the forefront of Lego set reviewes - I would hope you would be among the first to get behind supporting Lego®️ for the true value that it is in today's economy. As always, keep up the great work!!!

[@acesw6124]

atleast they did not use the republic logo for this interceptor

[@markbuhman]

No problem! Is it minifig scale?

[@Redeemedfatherof2]

I love the studs and anti-studs, It's made of lego and should present as such. This one is like a perfect match of smooth and studly lol

[@emil5598]

way to many studs. no cop for me

[@tikky0982]

i like that “smooth and studly” lol but yeah i’m excited about this set, really cool design and details

[@UpsideDownCycle]

That's what I'm saying man. If I wanted it perfectly smooth I'd just buy a proper model kit, lol.

[@dnkykng3369]

Minifig fitting in the cockpit "there are no mistakes, only happy accidents"

[@darthbane2669]

That only applies for painting

[@Red-zh7vq]

0:14 the former, the latter would be the last thing you say in a list

[@maddoxmay611]

I caught that too 😂

[@luffyandgokuskits]

I’m in love with this set I’ve been looking forward to this set all year and my expectations that were up there were met!!

[@viperson9818]

I just hear David saying why LEGO make another Tie interceptor as a question to the audience. Me: the old one was fricking Blue.😂 Can’t wait to pick up my copy since the last UCS I bought was the Slave 1 and Tie fighter and this will match very nicely.

[@KoPT01]

This is 100% a day-one purchase for me. I think it’s worth it with the GWPs for May the 4th. Can’t wait to put it next to the 2023 UCS X-Wing!

[@tano1236]

I’m in the same boat, hopefully we get a B-wing soon to put next to the X-wing and Tie interceptor

[@darthbane2669]

Maybe in 10 years plenty of other ships that haven't already gotten ucs treatment

[@luffyandgokuskits]

I'm REALLY hoping the next ucs tie they release would be a ucs tie bomber that lost in the fan vote, or a ucs darth vader's tie advanced!!! obviously not anytime soon, next year they should focus on the prequels

[@seanwatson446]

feel like they should do a new AT-ST at this price range next year

[@TopicBricks]

I actually dig this set, love the new plaque design though wish they put it in a paper bag to prevent some scratches. I think the cockpit detail is fantastic and I like how we get an exclusive TIE Pilot minifigure, my only nitpicks are I wish there was less gaps around the front cockpit area, and I wish there was a little more studs/tiled balance on the wings rather than them just all being studs.

[@arghjayem]

They put it in a paper bag because it now has a glossy finish rather than the matte finish previous ones had. Aka it’s more prone to damage, scratching etc.

[@DarthTamarus]

I feel like David is the by-the-book good kid and Ryan is the wild loose cannon kid when it comes to LEGO.

[@mreggs3731]

funny thing, Ryan hated everything that David liked, and Ryan loved everything that David was neutral on.

[@M0torsagmannen]

finally my favourite Star Wars fighter gets a release i can actually get. might wait a little bit but will definitely get it in the future.

[@Bruh886]

The interceptor looks so clean bro, love the moving stand!

[@evanschultheis9261]

I was able to pick it up when the bookcase was the GWP. Got an awesome set and a gift for the GF. Double win.

[@hobodoggaming6501]

mandr got a review first somehow lmao

[@jacobdaileylmao]

Mandr on some sort of number 1 most wanted rn

[@Chevron666]

mandr 1st; solidbrix best

[@cameronmeetze8153]

he got the set way after david. david made his video in march but couldn’t post it untill now

[@viperson9818]

The set will always release early and LEGO set reviews way too late most of the time.

[@subraxas]

You got the same profile pic as EckhartsLadder. 🙂

[@slipz6476]

love the videos david cant wait to get this set it looks absolutely amazing

[@isisbarfuss558]

Finally, a Lego Tie fighter with an actually rounded cockpit!

[@markembleton8226]

I think this is great looking set. It's actually making me want to buy the UCS X-wing to display with it!

[@destinycastorena2544]

I'm so happy how good this set looks 😄

[@Remixer_989]

Love how it looks definitely gonna get on may first

[@Blankslategaming]

As much as I wanted to see more Prequel ucs sets this year I'm very happy they revisited the Tie interceptor, hopefully a Tie Advanced will come out soon too

[@jacsonswain]

Very excited for this. Will buy

[@gfrank9772]

I love the wings and the stand and figures are great. I’m iffy on the cockpit design honestly, the window seems a little disproportionate to how large the cockpit actually is. My hot take is for the money I’d rather stick with the playscale interceptor. The hybrid styling they did with studs and tiles on its wings looks amazing!!!

[@BricksAtHome]

Another great review David! I was on the fence with this one, cockpit looked odd in the photos but seeing it compared to the 2015 UCS TIE makes me appreciate this newer design! Makes me want a UCS TIE Bomber now! 😅

[@osubass]

10:01 the 2024 TIE Interceptor is $229.99 as opposed to $239.99.

[@waynesbutler7834]

This set looks great and a must buy but they need to update the 75095 to this new cockpit design , i really like the elements used to make up the center ball and enjoyed your review .

[@patrickegan4477]

Can't wait for this set!

[@antoekneeberlin]

Great review! I will say the lego logo on the studs of the windscreen not being right side up bothers me so much 😂😂😂

[@grounded279]

I appreciate your blunt comments about the price of lego. There has been so much incredible stuff to come out over the last few years that I just can’t justify purchasing. Tantive IV springs to mind. I’ll pay gladly pay a price that I think is fair.

[@dixoncider6366]

Bro a new ucs Tie Advanced would be so effin dope

[@sven2win498]

MY absolute biggest, of maybe only 3 issues really, issue I take with this set is just that is WAY too many tiny little stickers for a product that is supposed to be so premium as this. And since I mentioned them, the only other things i dont like is that I think at the very least the outside of the "wings" could have been more tiled off for a UCS set, and that the strips down the side of the front window stick out a little too much imo but i feel this is a nitpick more than anything. At the end of it all it is still a GORGEOUS set!

[@ladykenobi7314]

New christmas gift for dad 😂

[@AshSmith-s9d]

Definitely on my list to get, just finishing building the millennium falcon I managed to scoop up

[@jamiekirkland2474]

I am going to have to start saving for May the 4th 2025! This set looks fantastic!

[@VELI-Productions]

If I was to ever get a TIE Fighter set it would be an Interceptor 👀

[@imbatman9845]

skip to 3:35

[@tomhoffert7208]

I am curious what vehicles top your list of "MUST MAKES" in the UCS line. For me, a modernized Tantive IV with a detailed escape pod are highly desirable. Love to hear your list.

[@LegoMasterGoji]

I would love it if they made a ucs tie interceptor in the original colors, it would be sick!

[@Mavryk]

I was thinking the other day that this set would have been an awesome one to test limited colour variants sets. So the mass production would be the Black/grey, but they could have a blue/black limited run for the ‘retro’ colour variant, and the Red/Black for the Imperial Guard limited run.

[@spacecaan4659]

i love this set i think im gonna buy it

[@mattd2026]

I am so thankful that you have a good compass when it comes to the pricing.

[@charleshumphrey8132]

At 9:08 you mention it is bullet proof and pieces dont fall off: I have to disagree, the cannons at the front of the wings are a little tempermental, not to mention where the grey outline of the wings come together, they dont stay well flat, I used a little model glue to keep them from wiggling loose. It is a good set and I am glad I purchased it but I dont feel it is as bullet proof as you mention. Thank you for your commentrary

[@robertobrien5709]

Already seen the MandR build and review yesterday but will interesting to see your take on it.

[@tonycasson5675]

Oh it’s beautiful!! I’m English so using pounds in Britain it’s £199 so on may 4th for the £199 will get all the GWP and points etc so it’s a fantastic deal!

[@mrJTx.]

I need it ❤ love the "Tie Interceptor" model

[@milanzikmund7273]

I will buy it for sure, but I would like Vader's TIE Advanced to stand next to my X-Wing. :)

[@TheBatsquid]

I want this because A) i think its cool B) my first ever Lego Star Wars set was the first minifig TIE intereceptor so the nostalgia is hitting hard

[@arghjayem]

13:20 agreed, should be a little cheaper. But given the GWPs, points etc if you buy the set asap could still be worth it!

[@Bricklete]

The UCS TIE Fighter is still one of the best UCS sets of all time in my opinion. These two will look great side by side.

[@TheBrickTwins2024]

Thanks for a great video!! Awesome set 😎

[@Mavryk]

This is a must purchase for me. I love the Interceptor, and never bought the original. Kinda kicking myself that I never bought the UCS TIE when they were cheap, so I’m curious how difficult it would be to convert the wings of the Interceptor into a regular TIE or TIE Advanced. Might be worth picking up extras if this set ever comes on sale down the track to make a set. I kinda wish LEGO made colour variants of sets as well. For example a Blue/Black version like the original LEGO Interceptor, or a Red/Black version like the Imperial Guard interceptors. Obviously, shorter and more limited runs than the Imperial Grey/Black, but something special for collectors without changing the build.

[@davidrasthammar1057]

Would like to see a UCS Tie Bomber and a Mon Calamari cruiser.

[@herrgyula]

The shaping id the cockpit area looks much better at the physical model than on the press photos.

[@Shilly_JD]

If you are going to judge all of the new LEGO Star Wars 25th Anniversary sets based on price, I can't imagine that you are going to recommend any new sets going forward. I have been on the search for the original UCS Tie Interceptor for many years, and have almost pulled the trigger on the original issue multiple times at the price of $700 (used) to over $1,000 (new). I was so excited to see this reissue that I will happily pay the $240 to display along with my UCS Tie and 2nd Gen UCS X-Wing Starfighters (amongst others). This reissue actually helps offset my disappointment when they issued the 3rd Gen X-Wing. The only UCS Set I would want more would be a UCS Darth Vader's TIE Advanced X1... If history, and "Disney Greed" are any indication, we will be lucky if they do not raise the price of this before it is ultimately discontinued. Inflation is a bitch, and with LEGO building multi-million $ plants and distribution facilities - price increases to 15 cents per piece will be the new normal. Otherwise, LOVE your channel!!! Old_Man_Shilly

[@logan5018]

Dont really understand the aversion to studs many lego fans exhibit. the way i see it, thats just part of what makes it lego. there are always tons of traditional model kits if you dont wanna see studs

[@mehmetcy84]

What equipment do you use to make the camera movement this smooth, around @8:32?

[@miyahollands6136]

I want the ability to rotate the interceptors wings, to allow it to land. it needs to be a step-up from the regular tie. the ability to land would be cool 😎

[@slicerh248]

This is gonna be an expensive May 4th for me. Really excited tho can’t lie.

[@Incrediboy24]

Just bought the tie fighter off brick link. I’m hype for this set

[@owenandrews6840]

I really like the pilot although I kind of wish they used the head with the balaclava like they use to

[@doofus_gotcha]

For the 10th year anniversary of Rogue One in 2026 they should 100% release a UCS U-Wing and TIE Striker. Would be such a cool combo.

[@kyr_taap]

Would have loved to see it next to the original, old UCS TIE Interceptor 😊

[@marcplourde4272]

my fav starfighter

[@aeddieh]

Looks awesome!!! Day 1 purchase for me!!!!

[@digital_crickets]

Man... a UCS U-Wing you say? THAT would be a great set. I'd be a sucker for a new UCS B-Wing as well.

[@peterskorec8246]

Im wondering if LEGO just got more expansive or they ask more because they can, but we have this “it is overpriced” feeling quite often these days. And while I have that feeling often as well, I wonder if we aren’t supposed to change the bar for normally priced set. Maybe there’s a new standard.

[@Sheshoo47]

Interceptors look so sick, i really want it! Just need to organize my shelves then maybe my parents will let me. Update: Organized my shelves, talked with my mom. I might be getting it (plus the droid carrier)

[@tastysidewalk4676]

The year is 2013, Picture a young simple minded eighth grade graduate surfing youtube on the Livingroom TV, trying to figure out what to spend $200 dollars on. Eureka! Solid Brix Studios reviews The Ultimate Collectors series Slave 1. I watched that video countless times, until I could no longer resist. 1 week and four grueling hours of building later, it's magnificent. by golly you've done it agian. the lego tie interceptor was the first lego starwars set I ever built. The nostalgia is off the charts on this one. allas, 12 years later, my wallet is emtpy.

[@stjohntownsend3019]

I just ordered a tie interceptor from aliexpress, be interesting to see how it compares, have the x wing aliexpress already and am very happy with it.

[@justatiger6268]

I ordered a Tie fighter on the internet and got a Thai fighter :/ He's a great kickboxer though

[@josephfontana5338]

Counter-argument on the studs and anti-studs on the wings - i'm currently looking at Wookieepedia and the primary photo of the Interceptor shows the black panels on the wings being a square grid rotated 45º. Seems perfect to me. I might end up smoothing out the LBG pieces, though.

[@robertobrien5709]

If I get it(probably will) I'll modify the stand to be vertical or almost vertical to have the ship flying roughly level and slightly tilted to one side.

[@TR12015]

They should makes a UCS Uwing that thing would be insane looking And take up a lot of room

[@VampguyN85]

My comfort level for price on UCS are $150-160 US. But I got the X-Wing for $185 sadly (before tax and shipping). I splurged. I hate the straps on the interceptor with a passion, but I'm so thankful I can't see them as badly from a distance in the video. The wings are awesome. I wish it wasn't tilted upwards on display. I would wait for a sale and for instructions on Rebrickable to fix the display angle and the thicc ugly straps on it before I made a final decision.

[@warrennewman5325]

Looks fantastic set may the force be with you

[@patriotssbchamps6385]

I got this because I love the imperial fleet set… Now I just need to over pay for the fighter then they need to release a UCS Tie Bomber!

[@Revo_Art]

Need those printed arms

[@darthbane2669]

Personally I love the smooth look versus studded way more.

[@bertmert7749]

Im cool with the tie interceptor vs fang fighter

[@spikeboi195]

I want them all!!

[@ryanlloyd1329]

I’m not a huge fan personally, but it does look good, I’m just not a huge fan of the studded wings but I fully understand why they left them un-tiled

[@DanielAlbrechtsen]

very nice. going to buy 1 day

[@timclackett8735]

Great review and great set. However, I think we need a new name for anti-studs. What’s the opposite of a stud? Maybe wimps?

[@Mrhank1983]

Should of come with a Baron Soontir Fel character and red blood stripes on the sides

[@vapor_jem]

I really hope you can detach the wings and be able to replace it with the UCS TIE's wings, that new TIE body structure 🥵

[@SkyKid002]

When you list 2 items and then reference them, the term to refer to the first item is former not latter.

[@SkyKid002]

0:07

[@nebzstream]

Please rotate the window 90 degrees clockwise the lego logo on the studs is driving my OCD crazy 😂

[@QS-si3cq]

:54 "could care less" means that you do care. Think about it. It's "couldn't care less."

[@caraverderosa6519]

I wish Lego would add the x Wing starfighter and the tie interceptor to the starship collection Midi scale.

[@ShockingGecko8]

my only real complaint is i don't like all the weird gaps and shapes around cockpit canopy

[@GRREZ]

I wanted to get this, but for $230 idk. I’m thinking getting the $99 interceptor with the coruscant gunship and the gwp trade federation set of course 😉

[@larrynguyen85]

Awesome video! Question: what are your thoughts on the use of stickers on the interior. It seems the entire cockpit has just stickers. Thanks for the great review!

[@MissouriMatt54]

Thank you for the video.

[@Muds33]

Anyone else notice the eye printing on the helmet is messed up? The lines for the outside of the lenses cover the middle of the lens’ molding. It struck me immediately

[@oscarpezzoli4597]

wonderful set I'm buyn loop coaster

[@RJay207]

The TIE Interceptor is my favorite SciFi ship design. And I was pretty hyped that it was getting this second set... and while it looks great... It's not THAT much better than the original, which I still have. So, as much as I am loyal to this ship... $240 for an okay upgrade to something I already have, and that looks 95% as good? For $240, I was REALLY expecting something more, and REALLY kick-ass... and for me... it's just not there. Not at that price.

[@javiersp15]

For all that is holy, print those 2x2 corner tiles! It’s a UCS set.

[@mreggs3731]

why does lego even use stickers? why not print all the pieces that need to be printed?

[@cadeptt]

@@mreggs3731 Cost

[@cookiebrown3457]

Shiny plaque sucks..scratches visible (already) on a brand new model.. Cockpit design is discussable. Price is still to high.

[@GlucoseYummy]

I prefer the matte, glossy tiles come scratched from the bag, not ideal for something that is intended to be displayed.

[@keremkayserili5873]

Cool set bro ! How do you clean them though ? I am trying to find a solution for my sets. Thanks !

[@brainslugged7957]

Is there any way you can easily switch the wings between the original TIE Fighter and the new Interceptor? I've never liked the old one, but having the new and the old with the same cockpit would be great.

[@jasonDudeGuy]

What are people's thoughts on the scaling of the new tie interceptor vs the new ucs x wing? I feel like its a bit too big compared to the x wing. What about the A-Wing from a few years ago?
