What reviewers are saying

"And I freaking love this set. It's one of my all-time personal favorite UCS sets."

Five Lonely Clones

"A very nice set. As with all Ultimate Collector Series sets there is limited play value as they are designed to sit on a shelf and look nice."

Ecosystem

TIE Interceptor (7181) 74 — Both are large display models that complement each other on a shelf. Vader's TIE Advanced shares the same large windscreen piece.

AT-ST — At $79 USD the AT-ST offers better value; if Vader's TIE was priced at $79 instead of $99 it would be a steal.

Sail Barge (6210) — Better value alternative if looking for more bang for your buck; does not prioritize display as heavily.

ISD (6211) 45 — Better value alternative if looking for more bang for your buck; does not prioritize display as heavily.
