"The UCS TIE Interceptor is a deserving Highly Recommended set with a BrickScore of 81.7: it delivers the scale, cockpit detail, and wing geometry accuracy that UCS collectors expect at $229.99, and 71% of 1,209 owners would recommend it, with the primary caveats being repetitive wing builds and fiddly cockpit stickers."
The UCS TIE Interceptor (75382) earns Highly Recommended standing with a BrickScore of 81.7, and the owner aggregate of 4.47 across 1,209 ratings reflects strong but not uncritical enthusiasm. A 71% would-recommend rate and a value score of 3.93 out of 5 show that most buyers feel it justifies its $229.99 price, even if a subset found the sticker application and wing repetition noteworthy friction points. Agreement among sources was uniformly high.
Where they split: The clearest divergence was around sticker frustration: some reviewers dismissed complaints about the stickers given they are confined to the cockpit interior and not visible from standard display angles, while others found them a genuine quality compromise for a premium-priced UCS set. Stand sturdiness also drew mixed reports, though most who investigated found the stand adequate.
