Star Wars Micro Galaxy Squadron Special Forces Tie Fighter Review and Comparison

[@Straswa]

Great review Kevin, thanks for the comparison.

Another awesome Series 5 ship! Love the swivelling turret and how it’s a 2 seater like it should be. Shame there’s no second TIE Fighter Pilot and there’s no red markings painted on.

Awesome, seeing this ship. I know people complained about it being so big, but it honestly makes sense. It's a 2 seater and additionally an elite fighter, so I would also imagine compared to the standard first order tie more armor and other systems in it.

[@Straswa]

Agreed. I'm disappointed though to see the figure sleeve is large enough to handle two pilots yet only 1 was provided.

[@dk6419]

@straswa I'm not sure why they did that. The original images showed it came with 2 figures. Unfortunately it wasn't the first time they did it. Thankfully amazone has had the original first order tie on sale so getting a second figure isn't to bad. But still stinks.

Why is the Tie Bomber so hard to find?

[@kmtanner04]

@@mjgg07 unfortunately it never made it to retail. It was part of the second case assortment for series 4 which never released in the US for some reason. Probably because series 3 clogged the shelves. It will be coming in the series 4 Starfighter class collection from Vault this month.

So dumb they did not include a second pilot figure. Same problem with the TIE Bomber.

[@barkingapollo]

If they continue to release multi-crew vehicles without a proper crew (especially when the crew is...2) then I'm done with this line, unfortunately. They may as well ignore the extra work making more complex molds and just make everything a single seat vehicle like they did with Action Fleet.

[@kmtanner04]

Yes it is a bummer. I think they are doing this to keep the cost down on this class of vehicles although it doesn’t make a lot of sense when some vehicles have two and some don’t. Who knows. The biggest problem is that we won’t get Tie Pilots in a scout class where we can get more.

[@barkingapollo]

Yeah that’s my problem especially. How am I going to get another TIE pilot or ATAT driver? Some say buy another but that just compounds the issue, lol. Then I’ll have one manned ATAT and one empty one…
