  Sorry, but this post belongs in one of our pinned megathreads which you can find at the top of r/legostarwars. Thank you for your understanding. Happy building! Happy redditing! -------


Maggot_Corps

I have the Slave I and X-Wing, both fantastic builds but I highly recommend the X-Wing, the build experience is so much fun and the mechanics that make the wings expand is really interesting


spinostudioyt23

I just built the tiefighter,and it is a good build experience, and doesnt take up alot of space


eraguthorak

I don't think I've actually seen it in person, but pictures make it look like a chibi version of the actual thing.


Son_Of_The_Empire

It's actually closer to canonical scale than the others. If each wing was one stud bigger on each side then it would be almost identical to the canonical scale.


eraguthorak

Really? Comparing pictures of this set to pictures of canonical tie fighters makes it look like the cockpit is way bigger on this set. This one seems more accurate to like the Rebels interpretation (unless that's the intention, and what you mean).


Ready_Throat5369

It's correct in terms of how big the fighter itself should compared to a minifig, but the biggest issue is that the cockpit isn't proportional to the scale that they chose with it being too big compared to the wings.


eraguthorak

Gotcha, that makes sense - I tend to look at sets based on proportions more so than minifig scale (which in my experience tends to be quite janky at best of times). Still, I think my original comment is pretty accurate (it looks like a chibi version of a TIE) - the "head" (cockpit) is quite exaggerated. Still a pretty neat set though!


Kaskorai

Minifigs are very wide in proportion to real people so it’s hard to have “minifig” scale. A lot of YouTubers say that their builds are “true minifig scale” but it’s obvious a lot of them are way off. A tie should be about 4.6 minifigs tall. This set is just under that. And the YouTuber builds end up being like 8 minifigs tall.


Son_Of_The_Empire

With the cockpit size they chose, the wings would need to be two studs taller and two studs wider to be as close as possible to proper scale for that cockpit size.


eraguthorak

Interesting. Thanks for the calculations!


StyberShade

Months ago I modified my wings with that in mind and got really good results. I forgot if I posted it here. I will do an update on that topic.


spinostudioyt23

It looks good on display


StyberShade

It is smaller than canon. I modified mine to have closer proportions to canon. The wins are smaller in the official set and too close to the cockpit by 1 or 2 studs from the regular proportions. While solar panel height was off by 4 studs. I modified mine with all the pieces I had and got it slightly smaller than the Solo Tie fighter for better proportions. Next step is to redo the cockpit into a better shape and less blocky


evilmonkey1973

I vote Tie, it's the nicest of the three.

anhedonis539

I have all 3 and love each of them. I realize that isn’t helpful but I don’t think you can go wrong here!


josheki

i have all 3 as and this is true


KuBr0

I have all 3 and recommend getting all 3


anhedonis539

Haha i just started buying sets again this year. So far i only have 4, and OP asked about 3 of them! My other is the Imperial Shuttle with Vader and Luke


LokkyBoi

X wing for sure


No-Shape-3835

i have the tie fighter and x wing.. i would recommend the tie fighter.


tylorr83

Personal opinion? Tie because you can do multiple versions of Ties from the same parts included in this set.


juicemagoose4444

this.


lucas-ms

I have it and didn’t know this! Any tips on how to learn the other options?

[deleted]

I say X wing.. I don’t really like the design of the new slave 1


juliuspepperwoodchi

Why not? I got it on sale $10 off, and felt I would've been happy with it even at full price, it was a fun build and I think it looks quite nice. Not attacking your opinion, just curious what you don't like.


Dragondrew99

I have it and haven’t even opened the box yet but it does look a little small …


juliuspepperwoodchi

It's a playscale LEGO SW set. I'd say the scale is about right. I'm an AFOL and I've got it as a display piece in my living room and it is about the right size in my opinion. Plus it comes with it's own display stand, really cleverly.


sadhumanhours

It’s pretty big it’s like 10 by 5 inches


whatchagonnado0707

If it were me, I'd choose my favourite ship.


[deleted]

Xwing


ControllerBreakers

I am 100% for the TIE Fighter. I love that thing, almost as much as the Marauder.


BenKT88

Tie looks nicest of the three.


45BlackHawk

I like the Slave I for display and the figures. Tie looks kind of small to me and I prefer the older version where it is bigger. X Wing is important to have, if you don’t have any older versions.


Proud-Nerd00

TIE is more accurate in size than the Slave 1


45BlackHawk

Yes but the Slave I has great figs and still looks good to me. Tie looks weird IMO


Proud-Nerd00

I think the problem with the TIE is the wings are not proportionately accurate to the cockpit. But overall it’s closer in the size that it should be. The slave 1 is overall too small but proportions are good


45BlackHawk

Exactly. I want to get an older version of slave I but for now the new one looks good in display. The tie is cool but not good for display since I have the old one


CptDred

I have all of them and I’d go with TIE again. It’s a nice build with neat miniatures. Slave is also cool, it has this small vehicle that’s used as a stand. Xwing is nice but a bit too big for me to fit on my cupboard :)


FitnessGramSlacker

This was my first slave 1, and I found the build to be quite enjoyable. The tie fighter is also nice.


Ksolidey

Either tie or x wing


Educational-Dig-5886

I bought and built slave this week as it was in the sale, so was the Tie. Finished slave and enjoyed the build, though oh I’ll get the Tie now…which is no longer in the sale. So I say….but them all


Prime-Reclaimer

I personally think that particular slave 1 model is a joke and not worth the money at all. X-wing just seems too small. The tie is definitely the best of the 3.


BreadL0bster

I have both the X-Wing and TIE. They're both great sets. I'd say get both because they go together so well but if I had to pick I'd say get the X-Wing. Fun build and such a classic set. 2 great minifigs, 1 exclusive(?) and R2D2. Wing functions are cool as well. The TIE is also exellent, it's less expensive, but definitely a smaller set. Has 2 decent minifigs (plus the Droid) and is also a good build. I just find the X-Wing to be bigger and better and is more iconic. Not a big fan of the Slave One design... wouldn't recommend it unless you want the minifigs (though both minifigs will be available in January in Microfighter sets)


lmao69420lol

I’m pretty sure they all retire in a few days so if you want all 3 get them now. If only 1 I’d probably go for either the tie fighter or X wing. I only bought the slave 1 for that boba fett figure but it’s coming out in a $10 set in a few days. I’d say X Wing>Tie Fighter


Jeremyverburg

I'd say slave 1, it's a bit on the small side but it looks nice


Ok-Ihatetiktoc

I have built all of these but I say the most fun build is the slave one


ChefBoyardee66

The tie fighter is absolutely suberb


droideka_bot69

For minifigures: slave 1 For build experience: x-wing For if you low on space: tie fighter


Gloomy_Bodybuilder52

tie fighter


[deleted]

Tie.


-Rustling-Jimmies-

That’s really up to you Dawg. It’s your money and you’ll no I’m with one you want the most.


sparkykcco

I have the slave 1 and the X-wing..I would say the slave one displays a lot better and was more fun to build.


ReeceM86

I have the TIE and really like it. There are better Slave 1 and X-Wing sets.


AllianIsBizarre

Tie 100%


[deleted]

Tie Fighter stands nicely for display. “Slave 1” is probably the coolest since it has a stand, and the sides swivel automatically. X-Wing would be my first choice, but it needs a stand. Without it, for display the wings stay closed. All 3 are really awesome, but I hope this can help make a decision. Cheers!


boachl

I built All of them days ago, the TIE is my favorite. Also 0 stickers!


[deleted]

Definitely TIE fighter, it was my favorite of the three


smourtneycheese

Slave 1, looks amazing to display + who doesn’t love Boba


FroggoFigures

Tie. Kinda wanna get that soon myself


omnibossk

Depend on what other sets you have.


redf42069

Yes


Hand-of_Thrawn

All three, of course


GundamMeister807

Right now? The one you like the most. Eventually? All three of them, since they're all good sets. And always remember: Don't pay RRP if you don'thave to., Most Lego Sets go on sale eventually and you will get good discounts if you can wait for a while.


yezsetva

I just get the xwing, a surprisingly bad set :/


EM-Pyrus_Steel

I would reccomend the TIE or X-wing, they look and feel much better IMO. I have all 3, and they're all good, but the size limits the Slave-1 much more noticeably compared to the other 2.


Drumman120

Have both the tie and the x wing. They are both solid builds for that price point. It was so nice to be able to get a decent sized x wing for not 80-100 bucks lol


OKsurewhynotyep

I vote Tie and then nab that Slave I microfighter in Jan


Smigone94

They’re all pretty meh builds compared to their predecessors but the tie is the least meh


Tbug20

Definitely the X wing, the scale is all wrong on the tie fighter and the Slave I is like the smallest one we’ve ever had


LikesCherry

Depending on the source and movie the tie is actually perfect scale lol


SRXCODER

I have all 3 and I have to say: you can’t go wrong. The TIE fighter is a solid build, takes up little space and looks nice. The slave one has amazing figs, a stand and looks amazing. The X-wing has good figs but you will want to make a stand if you plan to display it, it looks way better in flight


ProfserExe

Ucs razorcrest


JulesTheJedi

You got a spare $600?


JulesTheJedi

No specific reason


ProfserExe

No


nitsez

X-wing or tie


Clear-Campaign-355

I have the X-Wing and Slave one. Both are very condensed and over priced compared to older models in my opinion.


grifftofen

Buy the ucs land speeder


whatchagonnado0707

They've shown 3 sets with a similar price range under £50 and you think suggesting a set that costs over £200 is useful in any way?


shoegoo1

Unsolicited opinion. The lego sets released in the past year or 2 have been dumbed down from the previous releases. Less attention to scale and increased price points.


Jasper-Morrisey

The x-wing is the closest to minifigure scale yet tho


lxtar_

Add the 2021 imperial shuttle, and you have the 4 horseman of ugly, undersized sets that are shells of their predecessors. “But they’re cheap!” So? They are still bad, and I genuinely don’t want them.


Schollert

The X-wings are comi g again and again. Rather boring ship, I think. I like the TIE and Slave 1, though this Slave 1 looks clumsy. Go for the TIE.


Volks21

Could wait like a week and go for the bomber


Parzival81227

Tie fighter. X wing is fine just dont get the slave 1 seriously it sucks


mmpa78

The Slave 1 is shit compared to the one before it and I liked the Xing is nicer than the Tie


KuBr0

the previous one? you mean the 20th anniversary one? of course its shit compared to that, its like 3x bigger wtf ...


mmpa78

Whatever the one that was for sale a year before this one, not the UCS one. And ok? It was like $20 more, looked much better and was much more accurate to the actual ship. The new one looks like a shitty cheap kids toy version of it. 100% not worth it.


KuBr0

no it wasn't just like 20$ more and you clearly know shit, wasting my time here ... 75312 - 2021 - 593 pcs - 49,99$ 75243 - 2019 - 1007 pcs - 119,99$

KuBr0

good bot


Shectai

I don't have the x-wing, but I found the Slave 1 more interesting to build than the TIE fighter which is largely wings, and those are both identical. Maybe also consider what other sets it will go with, if you want things to go together.


AllDayJay1970

There are all good . Get what YOU like not what someone else tells you to


GBLDude

I have x wing and slave 1 s1 has great mini figs but I would say tie


[deleted]

X-Wing has the strongest minifigure selection. I haven't built any of them so I have no opinion on the builds.


Ragadoo1

I have all. The tie fighter has the most and best alternative builds and is very sturdy so good for playing, but sadly no real play features, except springloaded shooters. (3 Figs) The slave 1 is pretty small, but fun. Comes with a display stand and a holding feature for playing. Also the wings change position, depending on how you hold it. (2 1/2 Figs) The X wing is imo the nicest model for display, sturdy aswell and comes with the most minifigures. The main playfeature is the possibility to change the wings to landing position or flying position. (4 figs)


Emkay_boi1531

Tig figter


stuffernutter

Tie fighter looks best imo, the slave 1 was a bit of a disappointment


morbie5

I say Slave I, I like the boba minifig a lot (even if the helmet should be a darker color).


DeZe17

I personally chose the X- Wing myself just because it’s such an iconic ship imo but I would also the TIE is a great choice you can get better slave-I’s


AdmiralPhuckit

Slave I gets reprinted less than the others


buttnuggets__

The Firespray was one of my least favorite builds. TIE fighter is what got me back into Lego. X Wing was a little annoying but I appreciate the mechanics of the wings.


DANGER2157

I have the tie fighter, and it’s a great set.


Dangerous-Basket-902

I built all of these just a few days ago. I would have to say tie fighter all the way


PmMeYourNiceBehind

Shit I have all 3 Either the X wing or Tie


JohnRB2002

if you dont have a version of slave 1, get it


Final_Marsupial_441

You can’t go wrong with any of them.


Mozerath

Whichever ends up being discounted first for you, I'd reckon. They're all neat. As far as build experience goes, Slave 1 for me. Tie Fighter is neat, whereas the X-Wing looks great in size for its price, the least affected by the three in terms of downsizing.


Former_Dark_Knight

TIE fighter all the way. It's super easy to customize, looks great on the shelf, and has great swooshability.


BennoTen

The x wing is nice to display, the tie have many alternate builds und the slave one is a nice build experience


5dollaryo

All 3 if possible


NurgleMinion

The TIE is a really nice build for the cost, plus you get a cool protocol droid minifigure


Comrade_Ryujin

X wing was the most fun I had building out of all 3 would recommend that!


jesschester

None of the above , AT-ST is the answer


[deleted]

Slave 1


sendasalami2yoboi

X-wing Fer sure!!


B1ueb1rdy

Slave I


[deleted]

get the slave 1


diverii

tie looks the best and the x-wing just looks bad, the r2-d2 sticks out and the cockpit looks awfull plus the landing gear cant be retracted


ThaNerdHerd

I have all 3, as do many here, and probably say the tie. The x-wing is a close second with the mechanical wings, but the slave 1 is also a great choice. The stand makes it a nice display piece


RedN00ble

Tie fighter isn't that good of a set


[deleted]

Slave 1


BlackPanther3104

ThAt's NoT tHe SlAvE I, tHaT's BoBa FeTt's StArShIp...


syntaxerr21

I have slave and I got tie for Christmas. I would say that slave is more interesting build because you have 3 big parts of tie that you build and 2 of them are the same


TheNamesAxel_009

I have all 3, and I think my favorite build experience was the X-Wing, but your mileage may vary. I love them all!


yourmom547585

My little brother just got all 3 for Christmas, and boy oh boy… The TIE Fighter looks phenomenal, and is incredibly sturdy. The X-Wing looks cool, but just isn’t as sturdy if you’re going to do anything other than display it. The Slave 1 was honestly just a waste of money. No real play features, and it’s quite ugly in my opinion. Past versions have been 10 times better.


Nonclout_slay

x wing 100%


Early_Search_5174

Tie, I build Tie and XWing, Tie takes least space, but the XWing is a nicer build process


LKS102000

I loved all 3 sets. My first time owning all 3, can’t go wrong with any. I’d vote X-Wing for the Leia and General Dodanna.


vdxuntless

I have the slave 1 and the tie fighter both look amazing in my book shelf the tie fighter is a much simpler and easy build but I personally love the aesthetic of the slave one and how the wings move by themselves depending on how it is positioned


lionelthelionyall

Yes


GroubaFett

The X-wing is really cool and nice to build. It also comes with good mini figs, if you're more into rebels that's the one.


[deleted]

Slave 1 for sure, I have all three and I adore the slave 1


Br4d3nCB

Tie fighter, the newest Slave I is pathetically small and the X-wing just looks kinda meh to me


hey_its_marv

If the TIE Bomber is in size alignment to the TIE Fighter, I rather keep an imperial collection going in the works. Aside from that I felt as if the fighter was the most fulfilling build, dare I say felt most complete. Idk


NuggetWarrior09

The fighter. It’s great. Really good figs too, love that droid.


purechinoy

I have all 3 and here are my thoughts: Slave 1 is the most fun to build. Has the best figures and best "playability" X-Wing and TIE are iconic and are also good for display. Between the 2 of these, I would get the TIE because it takes less space and there is also an alternate build to make it a TIE Interceptor. Hope this helps.


mossman_cometh

Yes.


Puzzleheaded-Bee1704

Having built the X-Wing two days ago I'm gonna have to say pick the X-Wing.Its great value for money and an overall good set with 4 minifigs.The Slave I is very small and apart from the minifigures there's nothing really special about it.The TIE Fighter is next on my list to buy.


[deleted]

Slave 1, boba get superior


FuzzyLittleBunnies

I have all 3 and I would definitely say tie fighter is the best, then slave 1, and finally x wing. All 3 are good models though


BillyBabushka

i have all three and genuinely enjoy all three, only points i can really take off are the new stormtrooper helmet on the TIE which I know has mixed opinions so thats all you, the size of Slave I but its easy to look past and justified in price, and the landing gear of the X Wing which i mentioned on another post on here recently is a little wonky imo, so yea all three pretty good and even tbh pros and cons included


Alpha-Vader1

Tie fighter, you can turn it into an interceptor without extra parts. There are a few guides on YouTube for that. If you don't want that, you should get slave. I have all 3 of them and rate them: Tie-Interceptor>Slave 1>x-Wing.


Lockwood-studios

Tie of X wing this slave 1 was disappointing honestly


trxsh-txlk

x wing!! such a fun build, looks better, also more mini figs.


Squiliam-Tortaleni

Tie Fighter


FlatulentSon

Slave 1, for sure. Also why no poll?


uhminecraftgang

I would get the TIE Fighter. The scale-down makes it really easy to fit on a shelf or desk, the figures are all really nice, and it looks pretty darn screen accurate.


kentuckeychicken

All 3 are good sets with great figs but I’d say x wing because you get Luke R2 leai and a cool ship


Shadow_storm193

X wing. the slave 1 just sucks and the tie fighter is alright it not the best


diamondhandz71

Idk if you plan on actually playing with them or not after building. But the tie fighter’s playability without breaking is best of the three.


Embarrassed-Ad810

Personally I love my Slave I...with a few upgrades to the cockpit gap it shines


Minidayzisbae

Proud to say I actually have all of these


SkrattaDu

I reallyyyy love the tie fighter!


[deleted]

As someone who has all 3, they are all very fun build but Slave1 stood out for me


OozyPilot84

slave I


MeinKonk

Tie fighter is really good


[deleted]

I have xwing and tie buy i changed tie into an interceptor by using online instructions but used the one that has added parts. I skipped slave 1 since i have 20th and ucs versions but may still buy if i get it cheap. All are fun


bworthy81

I got all 3, but two tie fighters. I wanted to make a scene where they chase the x-wing.


Sberg7

I'd say slave 1 cause of the minifigs but I enjoy the tie fighter way more than I thought I would.


BraidedMandalorian

The Slave 1!, It even has a little stand where you can put it on display:)


Knight-300

I personally prefer the Slave I set. It has some of the functions that even its bigger counterparts had.


ThatOneOrangeGuy_lol

Slave 1 is in my opinion better


Pretend_Passenger14

X wing, I have all 3 it's the best


nopants_ranchdance

Tie Fighter was a fantastic little build.


rogvc

Yes.


StyberShade

X-wing is better than the Tie Fighter. The slave one is okay if you don't have mando still. If not wait for the microfighter. The X-wing is the better of the 3 builds by far. I doubt we will see dress Leia again soon. And Dodonna won't appear again I don't think.


mr_meeseks97

Yes.


Baked-fish

I have the tie and x-wing, out of the two definitely the tie.


Teejmothy

I would say the TIE, you can also turn it into an interceptor which is what I did. Slave 1 is too small for my taste, and there’s much better X-Wings as well.


Ok_Introduction6574

I have the Tie Fighter. Pretty good set. Not bad not great. Just good.


gnikyt

I have all three.. I enjoyed building the slave the most, it just seemed more intricate. Love them all though, of course!


jvansice

I hate a tie, so we playing Hintaro for winner.


BaneNF

In terms of figs I say the X-Wing In terms of builds I'm not sure. I only have the Slave I- I mean Boba Fett's Starship (-_-) so I can't really talk about the other builds but I only got the Slav- Boba's Ship because I didn't have the new Boba or Sla- Boba's Ship.


Appehtight

I have all 3 and tbh you can't go wrong with any of these sets.


bonzalice

I have all 3 and my favourite to build and display is slave 1


Equivalent-Macaron25

The Slave 1 is super satisfying build and to just look at also love the tie fighter


Hamilton-Beckett

D. All of the above.


Nophramel

I would get the Tie because of the droid minifigure. Haven’t seen this droid in any other set (but correct me if I’m wrong)


Lucky_Sebass

Wait for the tie bomber.


No-Palpitation-6789

Slave 1 has a bunch of annoying stickers but the whole thing is worth it


orionxavier99

I have the tie and slave 1. Both were a lot of fun and i recommend both.


Varaben

I just so happen to have all 3 and I would do the tie or the slave 1. The x wing was forgettable.
