LEGO Star Wars UCS TIE Interceptor REVIEW | Set 75382 

One note: The Interceptor retails for $230 (not $240 like I assumed), my apologies guys, I made this video back in March 😅 …I still stand by my opinion at the end.

Minifig fitting in the cockpit "there are no mistakes, only happy accidents"

0:14 the former, the latter would be the last thing you say in a list

I love the studs and anti-studs, It's made of lego and should present as such. This one is like a perfect match of smooth and studly lol

I feel like David is the by-the-book good kid and Ryan is the wild loose cannon kid when it comes to LEGO.

This is 100% a day-one purchase for me. I think it’s worth it with the GWPs for May the 4th. Can’t wait to put it next to the 2023 UCS X-Wing!

I’m in love with this set I’ve been looking forward to this set all year and my expectations that were up there were met!!

I just hear David saying why LEGO make another Tie interceptor as a question to the audience. Me: the old one was fricking Blue.😂 Can’t wait to pick up my copy since the last UCS I bought was the Slave 1 and Tie fighter and this will match very nicely.

feel like they should do a new AT-ST at this price range next year

I actually dig this set, love the new plaque design though wish they put it in a paper bag to prevent some scratches. I think the cockpit detail is fantastic and I like how we get an exclusive TIE Pilot minifigure, my only nitpicks are I wish there was less gaps around the front cockpit area, and I wish there was a little more studs/tiled balance on the wings rather than them just all being studs.

Another great review David! I was on the fence with this one, cockpit looked odd in the photos but seeing it compared to the 2015 UCS TIE makes me appreciate this newer design! Makes me want a UCS TIE Bomber now! 😅

I'm so happy how good this set looks 😄

love the videos david cant wait to get this set it looks absolutely amazing

The interceptor looks so clean bro, love the moving stand!

Hi, Engineer here Bit confused about why they would change the surface to be a polish instead of a matte finish for the title plaque, typically speaking you add rough surface textures to hide surface imperfections that are common in molding. I don't know the exact dimensions of the parts, sometimes you just can't get rid of the sinks completely... but there are definitely ways to hide it. As for the injection mark, putting it on the other side might be more difficult than people think. Because the plate is such a large part, my guess is that the injection diameter needs to be kept large in order to get enough volumetric flow. There might not be enough room on the other side of the plate between the sockets in order to fit an injector of the size they want. Mind you, I don't work at LEGO though and don't have exact dimensions on hand. This is just a ramble because plastics manufacturing is cool 😂

I think this is great looking set. It's actually making me want to buy the UCS X-wing to display with it!

I am so thankful that you have a good compass when it comes to the pricing.

Thanks for a great video!! Awesome set 😎

Very excited for this. Will buy

13:20 agreed, should be a little cheaper. But given the GWPs, points etc if you buy the set asap could still be worth it!

Great review! I will say the lego logo on the studs of the windscreen not being right side up bothers me so much 😂😂😂

I love the look of this set! Can’t wait to get mine 😺 Cheers 🍻

Love how it looks definitely gonna get on may first

Already seen the MandR build and review yesterday but will interesting to see your take on it.

finally my favourite Star Wars fighter gets a release i can actually get. might wait a little bit but will definitely get it in the future.

Good review. I do think this is a buy. I do get a little frustrated at the pricing comments … LEGO increased the price due to input prices. This is just the new reality, like a lot of things we buy. LEGO can’t just drop its price and then expect all its suppliers and employees to just take a drop in their payments. Anyways, great job LEGO and this review has helped me lock this in for May the 4th (well 1st).

Can't wait for this set!

Definitely on my list to get, just finishing building the millennium falcon I managed to scoop up

Thank you for the video.

As much as I wanted to see more Prequel ucs sets this year I'm very happy they revisited the Tie interceptor, hopefully a Tie Advanced will come out soon too

I need it ❤ love the "Tie Interceptor" model

This set looks great and a must buy but they need to update the 75095 to this new cockpit design , i really like the elements used to make up the center ball and enjoyed your review .

New christmas gift for dad 😂

I am going to have to start saving for May the 4th 2025! This set looks fantastic!

i love this set i think im gonna buy it

Looks awesome!!! Day 1 purchase for me!!!!

I love the wings and the stand and figures are great. I’m iffy on the cockpit design honestly, the window seems a little disproportionate to how large the cockpit actually is. My hot take is for the money I’d rather stick with the playscale interceptor. The hybrid styling they did with studs and tiles on its wings looks amazing!!!

Man... a UCS U-Wing you say? THAT would be a great set. I'd be a sucker for a new UCS B-Wing as well.

I would love it if they made a ucs tie interceptor in the original colors, it would be sick!

Awesome video! Question: what are your thoughts on the use of stickers on the interior. It seems the entire cockpit has just stickers. Thanks for the great review!

I am curious what vehicles top your list of "MUST MAKES" in the UCS line. For me, a modernized Tantive IV with a detailed escape pod are highly desirable. Love to hear your list.

Oh it’s beautiful!! I’m English so using pounds in Britain it’s £199 so on may 4th for the £199 will get all the GWP and points etc so it’s a fantastic deal!

Just bought the tie fighter off brick link. I’m hype for this set

I appreciate your blunt comments about the price of lego. There has been so much incredible stuff to come out over the last few years that I just can’t justify purchasing. Tantive IV springs to mind. I’ll pay gladly pay a price that I think is fair.

very nice. going to buy 1 day

This is a must purchase for me. I love the Interceptor, and never bought the original. Kinda kicking myself that I never bought the UCS TIE when they were cheap, so I’m curious how difficult it would be to convert the wings of the Interceptor into a regular TIE or TIE Advanced. Might be worth picking up extras if this set ever comes on sale down the track to make a set. I kinda wish LEGO made colour variants of sets as well. For example a Blue/Black version like the original LEGO Interceptor, or a Red/Black version like the Imperial Guard interceptors. Obviously, shorter and more limited runs than the Imperial Grey/Black, but something special for collectors without changing the build.

Finally, a Lego Tie fighter with an actually rounded cockpit!

Cool set bro ! How do you clean them though ? I am trying to find a solution for my sets. Thanks !

Looks fantastic set may the force be with you

I want this because A) i think its cool B) my first ever Lego Star Wars set was the first minifig TIE intereceptor so the nostalgia is hitting hard

The shaping id the cockpit area looks much better at the physical model than on the press photos.

I will buy it for sure, but I would like Vader's TIE Advanced to stand next to my X-Wing. :)

MY absolute biggest, of maybe only 3 issues really, issue I take with this set is just that is WAY too many tiny little stickers for a product that is supposed to be so premium as this. And since I mentioned them, the only other things i dont like is that I think at the very least the outside of the "wings" could have been more tiled off for a UCS set, and that the strips down the side of the front window stick out a little too much imo but i feel this is a nitpick more than anything. At the end of it all it is still a GORGEOUS set!

my fav starfighter

If you are going to judge all of the new LEGO Star Wars 25th Anniversary sets based on price, I can't imagine that you are going to recommend any new sets going forward. I have been on the search for the original UCS Tie Interceptor for many years, and have almost pulled the trigger on the original issue multiple times at the price of $700 (used) to over $1,000 (new). I was so excited to see this reissue that I will happily pay the $240 to display along with my UCS Tie and 2nd Gen UCS X-Wing Starfighters (amongst others). This reissue actually helps offset my disappointment when they issued the 3rd Gen X-Wing. The only UCS Set I would want more would be a UCS Darth Vader's TIE Advanced X1... If history, and "Disney Greed" are any indication, we will be lucky if they do not raise the price of this before it is ultimately discontinued. Inflation is a bitch, and with LEGO building multi-million $ plants and distribution facilities - price increases to 15 cents per piece will be the new normal. Otherwise, LOVE your channel!!!

Dont really understand the aversion to studs many lego fans exhibit. the way i see it, thats just part of what makes it lego. there are always tons of traditional model kits if you dont wanna see studs

Would have loved to see it next to the original, old UCS TIE Interceptor 😊

They should makes a UCS Uwing that thing would be insane looking And take up a lot of room

Counter-argument on the studs and anti-studs on the wings - i'm currently looking at Wookieepedia and the primary photo of the Interceptor shows the black panels on the wings being a square grid rotated 45º. Seems perfect to me. I might end up smoothing out the LBG pieces, though.

Love it. BeBeautiful but as usual... too big and too expensive for me low level collector but looks awsome! The cockpit is Stellar

Great review and great set. However, I think we need a new name for anti-studs. What’s the opposite of a stud? Maybe wimps?

This is gonna be an expensive May 4th for me. Really excited tho can’t lie.

The UCS TIE Fighter is still one of the best UCS sets of all time in my opinion. These two will look great side by side.

I really like the pilot although I kind of wish they used the head with the balaclava like they use to

I want them all!!

If I was to ever get a TIE Fighter set it would be an Interceptor 👀

mandr got a review first somehow lmao

Would like to see a UCS Tie Bomber and a Mon Calamari cruiser.

My comfort level for price on UCS are $150-160 US. But I got the X-Wing for $185 sadly (before tax and shipping). I splurged. I hate the straps on the interceptor with a passion, but I'm so thankful I can't see them as badly from a distance in the video. The wings are awesome. I wish it wasn't tilted upwards on display. I would wait for a sale and for instructions on Rebrickable to fix the display angle and the thicc ugly straps on it before I made a final decision.

Im wondering if LEGO just got more expansive or they ask more because they can, but we have this “it is overpriced” feeling quite often these days. And while I have that feeling often as well, I wonder if we aren’t supposed to change the bar for normally priced set. Maybe there’s a new standard.

Is there any way you can easily switch the wings between the original TIE Fighter and the new Interceptor? I've never liked the old one, but having the new and the old with the same cockpit would be great.

re this UCS interceptor and the UCS Tie Fighter -- If the central fuselage is the same then how does this look with the fighter wings / outer panels ? Would that then be the improved UCS Tie Fighter ?

Wow really a nice piece shame I have space problem

What are people's thoughts on the scaling of the new tie interceptor vs the new ucs x wing? I feel like its a bit too big compared to the x wing. What about the A-Wing from a few years ago?

as Ive ALWAYS wanted a tie ucs, never got around to the other tie ucs. I feel this one may be a little eh when pulling the trigger. 229.99 for 1931 i mean eh. Is it worth the cost in terms of size, display all that good stuff?

Im cool with the tie interceptor vs fang fighter

I really hope you can detach the wings and be able to replace it with the UCS TIE's wings, that new TIE body structure 🥵

What equipment do you use to make the camera movement this smooth, around @8:32?

If I get it(probably will) I'll modify the stand to be vertical or almost vertical to have the ship flying roughly level and slightly tilted to one side.

Can you take off the interceptor wings and put the tie fighter wings on them ?

Bro a new ucs Tie Advanced would be so effin dope

Personally I love the smooth look versus studded way more.

Please rotate the window 90 degrees clockwise the lego logo on the studs is driving my OCD crazy 😂

Interceptors look so sick, i really want it! Just need to organize my shelves then maybe my parents will let me. Update: Organized my shelves, talked with my mom. I might be getting it (plus the droid carrier)

Hey is this minifig scale? Would like to know as i gate things that are over minfig scale

Shiny plaque sucks..scratches visible (already) on a brand new model.. Cockpit design is discussable. Price is still to high.

I’m not a huge fan personally, but it does look good, I’m just not a huge fan of the studded wings but I fully understand why they left them un-tiled

10:01 the 2024 TIE Interceptor is $229.99 as opposed to $239.99.

i noticed that you have an AT-OT but do you have the republic dropship

I wanted to get this, but for $230 idk. I’m thinking getting the $99 interceptor with the coruscant gunship and the gwp trade federation set of course 😉

So gonna get this set, but idk if I want to get it day 1 tho

Need those printed arms

I wish Lego would add the x Wing starfighter and the tie interceptor to the starship collection Midi scale.

looks great! shame I cannot afford it

I think you're among the better LEGO reviewers but your audio is so quite even at higher volume levels than others.

Oh man, I cannot stress enough how little I want a U-wing UCS set. I’d rather have every single UCS set ever be remade before a dumb U-wing lmao. Also any prequel fighter. All prequel fighters actually before the U-wing. Tie defender, reaper, advance lol

When you list 2 items and then reference them, the term to refer to the first item is former not latter.

For all that is holy, print those 2x2 corner tiles! It’s a UCS set.

When you say two items, and then say “the latter of which”, you’re referring to the second one said. So in this case, when you say “the latter” you’re referring to the tie interceptor. You should have said “the former of which” to refer to the X wing.

Molded Mouse Droid would’ve been nice
