Cool new TIE fighter
By Kristen
Kid's review: This lego set is full of pros and cons.
Pros: easy and fun to build, cool minifigure, awesome lightsaber storage, non flickfire missiles, and adjustable wings!
Cons: very flimsy wings, unsturdy connections.
On the left and right in the middle of the set, there is a 2x2 flat light gray piece on each end. In the extra pieces that come with the set, there are two 1x2 light gray pieces that can be placed next to the 2x2s for extra sturdiness. This set is better for being displayed on a bookshelf than for playing. Hope this review was helpful.

Learning experience
By mama bear
My 8 year old thoroughly enjoyed the process of putting this together. It was a great learning experience on how to follow detailed instructions and the cause and effect of not doing so. The down side is that the little pieces don't stay together well and it can be very frustrating to pretend play with it. If you are looking for something to challenge someone who is creative and likes to build and create something new all the time, it's a great toy. If you are looking for something for a Star Wars fan who likes to imagine and act out their own battles and scenes, stick with a non-Lego toy.
