TIE Defender

This is an excellent addition to the lego star wars imperial fleet. It has the awesome TIE fighter black and gray color scheme and 3 wings split in halves. The play features are 6 flick-fire missiles (1 on each half-wing), an opening cockpit, and the coolest feature, the cockpit rotates. That means that when you start spinning the ship, the cockpit always stays upright.

To start off with, the box itself is pretty cool because it has lots of pictures, little compartments, doors for each day, and when you turn it a certain way, there is a flap that comes down so you can put your creations on it. The figures are pretty cool, especially Santa Yoda, since he is exclusive to this set. I like the mini vehicles/ships because they are expertly scaled down and are from both Star Wars trilogies. The rest of the review/description will be left up to you.

Plo Koon's Jedi Starfigher

My first post is Plo Koon's Jedi Starfighter (image of box above). This is an excellent edition to your Jedi Starfighter collection or an awesome first. The first thing is that the ship has lots of cool details and stickers. I love the blue and white color scheme with details seperating it from other Starfighters. It does not have flick-fire missiles but has a clip by the cockpit for Plo Koon's lightsaber. Other cool elements is R7-D4 (Plo Koon's red and white astromec droid), landing gear, cockpit, tail, guns, dual engines, and of course, the best feature, EJECT MODE! Instead of ejecting the astromec droid, this set features a nob to eject Plo Koon! At the bottom, underneath the cockpit, is the nob that when pushed, sends Plo Koon and the cockpit bubble thing flying out.
