"A well-executed and impressively sturdy TIE Fighter that critics rate as Mixed Reviews primarily because of its weak price-to-piece ratio, while nearly 900 buyers disagree and rate it a near-perfect 4.8 out of 5. The all-printed pieces, no-sticker policy, and exclusive Mimban-era minifigures are genuine strengths; the red spring-shooter bolts and high per-piece cost are genuine flaws."
The 75211 Imperial TIE Fighter sits at a BrickScore of 69.8 and a Mixed Reviews tier, with critics largely praising the model itself while consistently calling out a weak price-to-part ratio and a few execution missteps. The gap between expert consensus and owner sentiment is notable: 896 buyers rate it 4.8 out of 5, LEGO's own would-recommend signal is 100%, and owner value-for-money sits at 4.125/5, all sharply more positive than the expert value score of 43.2. Critics see a slightly overpriced Star Wars tax; owners see a handsome, swooshable TIE Fighter they are delighted with.
Where they split: The clearest split is between the expert BrickScore of 69.8 (Mixed Reviews) and the owner average of 4.8/5 with a 100% would-recommend rate. Critics focused on poor price-per-piece value (39.9 parts-value consensus) while owners judged the model holistically and loved it. Buyers who prioritize model aesthetics and minifig exclusivity tend to be fully satisfied; those evaluating parts efficiency will find the set wanting.

Owners consider this the best minifig-scale TIE Fighter LEGO has made, praising its sturdy construction, accurate cockpit detail, and excellent minifigures, though many feel the price is high relative to the piece count.
