Major Vonreg's TIE Fighter (set 75240) is marked by its striking colors and revolutionary wing design, making it an essential addition to the First Order starfleet.
Checking in at 496 pieces, this set comes from the silly and somewhat underrated "Star Wars Resistance" cartoon. While the fighter itself sets itself apart by its sleek design and clever spring-loaded shooter functionality, the minifigures are what elevate this set to a near must-have.
Four minifigures are included, led by the pilot himself, Major Elrik Vonreg, who features an eye-catching new helmet design. An older-era General Princess Leia is a surprising -- though welcome -- addition, and she does play a small role in the 'toon.
The star of the show is also present -- the goofy but driven Kazuda "Kaz" Xiono, highlighted by a unique, two-toned hair elements that is a first for Star Wars Legos. His irrepressible sidekick, the pert R1-J5 droid, Bucket, is along for the ride as well.
Opinions on "Star Wars Resistance" vary, and perhaps for that reason, this is one of only two available Lego sets connected to the series. However, the dynamic nature of the TIE and the eccentric minifigures that come with it make this a worthy consideration for any collection.
