Really impressive they've reused the same mold for TIE fighters for nearly half a century now!

@JCC1004 2 года назад

You're here too? I'm used to seeing you on ChrisChan videos but Analog Toys too?

@codiwonkanobi9788 Год назад

I wonder how much money that one piece of tooling made Kenner/Hasbro.

@toddsmith9598 3 года назад

I LOVE that this included POTF2 vehicles!

@bradantcliff2940 3 года назад

The Power of the Force figures being too bulky for their vehicles will never not be funny 😆 Great video, collab editorials is the way!

@boblowes 3 года назад

That was an epic crossover, and a brilliant, comprehensive study of the Kenner TIE-Fighter and it's lineage. Well done guys.

@jubsy 3 года назад

The 2010 Walmart Tie Bomber with dropping bombs and shooting missile is the perfect Star Wars vehicle I wanted as a kid but didn't exist. Absolutely the coolest Tie Fighter ever made.

@Pemechan76 3 года назад

How did this one look like? Was that the white one?

@Ascension-Angel Месяц назад

The fact that the Kenner Tie Fighter has been used so much and reissued so many times with only minor changes is a testament to how bloody good the original toy was! I currently have the POTF variant from 1995 and intend to get the other versions at some point in the future. Army building Tie Fighters with one of each variant would be so damn cool!

@michaelharrington75 Год назад

I loved going to Hills store as kid! I still remember their slogan "Hills is where the toys are"! I got a lot Star Wars and Super Powers toys at Hills. It was a great store back in the day.

@aworldmadeofcardboard3692 3 года назад

This is a fantastic video. Great work guys, Sal, Tony, Michael. The incredible part of this video that I get from this is the community of toy collectors coming together to describe something they love.

@Chasing80sToys 3 года назад

Excellent crossover. 🙌 Great seeing you Tony together with Sal, Michael and Melinda and of course Broken Vader and Toi Polloi all together in this beauty of a video 🙌👍👍👍

@TroyPacelli 3 года назад

This vid is EPIC. I can only imagine how much work had to go into this collaboration, but it was well worth it, IMO.

@AllysonA8281 3 года назад

I always thought the TIE Fighter was one of the coolest ships in Star Wars. I loved seeing all the different variations. Vader’s was my favorite and I never owned one. It has been a grail piece for me since early childhood. Awesome Collaboration! Thank you all!🙏

@KyletheKollector 3 года назад

Great collab! Way more Tie Fighters than I knew about. We need a Gideon Tie Fighter with folding wings now!

@hoppyscreations 3 года назад

I’ve built my own one as there not one so far

@markmorales4599 3 года назад

You guys hit a grand slam homerun with this video. Outstanding. Admiring my TIE's now

@pappafett9826 3 года назад

I still have my original white tie fighter, and Vader tie from when i was a kid and recently took them apart and got them working again thanks to the awesome RETRO BLASTINGS tutorial.

@orlandonostagiafever1964 2 года назад

One of my favorite toys I remember in 79 when I got it for Christmas.

@johnfaulk7775 3 года назад

Great job gentlemen!!! I’ve missed Star Wars Follies and you certainly delivered!!! Thanks!!!

@samgilley3160 2 года назад

I dont have the time or money to invest in collecting old Star Wars toys, but I always enjoy watching you document the original toy line. Good stuff. And yeah, the tie interceptor kicks loads of ass. Best Star Wars ship besides the x-wing in my book.

@MG-id7hl 2 года назад

Fascinating video. I'm 55 now and recently became the proud owner of a 1995 TIE with the rear grip. Yes....I've flown it around with the sound effects going on my phone. Fabulous fun.

@Toybinging 3 года назад

Broken Vader kinda reminds me of Edward Scissorhands, both of them are sad and will never have appendages.

@Daniel-415-Ponce 7 месяцев назад

I think my favorite TIE is the Toys 'R' Us exclusive. With its white-gray color and large solar panels, it is the perfect hybrid of 1970's Kenner nostalgia and more-screen-accurate design.

@TheDapperLad 2 года назад

You ever seen a Tie Fighter pilot cosplayer? Those helmets are huge in real life, man.

@TheDarthranc0r 3 года назад

These days I snatch up every stormtropper I can find. Not just for display but also for when my done uses them he needs more villains than heroes. That's part of what makes it fun.

@inmjoh 3 года назад

There are some Chinese sellers on ebay that are listing five packs of storm troopers for around 19 dollars. I can't speak to their quality or authenticity, but seeing them I was tempted to pick up a couple sets. If for nothing else, for troops in the background of displays.

@otolith5 3 года назад

The Solo Force Link 2.0 Tie Fighter is one of the best.

@brycevo 3 года назад

Wow. This colab is so great. Awesome to see everyone here

@Michael_Johnson_5446 3 года назад

Fantastic history of the Tie-fighter. I never had one until the POTF line.

@JCC1004 2 года назад

Having RetroBlasting in a video with Analog Toys and Two Cents Toys really does show how much he has issues with modern toys vs. vintage. We all like what we like but it doesn't mean what you don't like is bad stuff or inferior.

@AnalogToys 2 года назад

You’re talking utter nonsense

@retroblasting 2 года назад

Your emotional immaturity is showing, as is your inability to pay attention to content. I literally praise the modern TIE Bomber, the POTF2 TIE, and the big wing TIE in this video. You couldn't be more incorrect and misleading. Get a brain and then come back and try again.

@313cardcollections6 3 года назад

My all time favorite toy collectors together! Awesome thanks guys!

@BRBricks_Ben 9 дней назад

I really appreciate the reference to Garrison. I grew up listening to prairie home companion and playing action figures. Love the video!

@matafuko 2 года назад

I've got one of the '95 ones. For years I thought one of the wing clips had been lost and even checked ebay a few times for a replacement. I was going through an old toy box from my dad's garage the other day - there it was! It was really satisfying to put it back together.

@unclemattsworkbench6667 3 года назад

I clicked like in the first 5 seconds. Broken Vader watching toy polloi was brilliant!

@theTemplar08 3 года назад

Love it . Now we need a broken Vader scale tie. Love the shows

@uphilliceskater 3 года назад

Hills namedrop! One of the greatest, most beloved department stores, ever, particularly for toys back in the '70s and '80s. Anyhow, quality video, as always! (edit for spelling typo)

@kieronball8962 3 года назад

Great video, but the plight of Broken Vader, brought a tear to my eye. 😁

@chriscummings4206 2 года назад

My best friend had all of the Star Wars toys...he told me that his parents had credit cards and his mom was able to buy any toy he wanted as soon as she saw them on the shelves! After high school I stopped by their house to say hello and ask if he wanted to sell his toys and their basement stilled smelled...a smell that will never leave my nostrils memory banks!

@itskenneritsfun 2 года назад

26:10 I remember this exact thing with my Tie, I'd always hold it by the wings way back in the mid-late 2000s when I got it; told my dad to superglue them on to stop them from ejecting off. Biggest mistake of my life, lol- I still have the ship in my closet- still regret doing that.

@brucechmiel7964 3 года назад

My workaround for putting Vader in the POTF TIE was simply putting one of my spare Batman Capes on Vader. the c ring fit his neck perfectly and it gave him a battle damaged look.

@skabcat242 3 года назад

That skit with the at-at driver, trooper and tie fighter pilot was great.

@indigoyarkindell968 2 месяца назад

The Solo Tie Fighter has a pretty neat battle damage feature.

@Mike19737 Год назад

Gary the red neck Stormtrooper deserves his own series!😂😂

@FullersFigures 3 года назад

Best cross over since Family Guy and the The Simpsons. Great work to all involved.

@hankw69 3 года назад

I received the original TIE fighter for Xmas '78. Still the best gift a 9 yr old ever got...and the land speeder 2 months later for my birthday was a great follow up.

@Ur-average_Kettenkrad.44 9 месяцев назад

The basic Kenner tie fighter always reminds me of the ties in Star Wars rebels with the wide profile and small wings

@mujone 3 года назад

Awesome review! 2 thumbs up brothers! 👍👍

@jonathanhughes4465 3 года назад

When we moved back to the states from Germany in 1979 I had to wait months for my Star Wars toys to arrive via international shipping. So my dad got me a Darth Vader TIE fighter and an extra stormtrooper at a store stateside and that was all I had for a few months. Was grateful and got to know that TIE very well...

@tikvision 3 года назад

Such an epic crossover with the best toy experts ever. greetings from South America

@superiorcybergodzilla5670 Год назад

@MrHaicken 3 года назад

@Clay3613 3 года назад

Tie Fighters are my favorite Star Wars vehicles to collect, I have so many Micro-Machines, ornaments, models and POTF iterations.

@jonniehotdog 3 года назад

Those TIE interceptors look amazing - I want one! Wonderful, in depth video, guys!

@Waterratt4344 2 года назад

I was working at Toys “R” Us when the T.I.E. was re-released with the Power of the Force line, I had a father yelling at me because the X-Wing had sound and T.I.E. did not, like it was my fault it didn’t have sound. He didn’t want to hear anything I had to say and kept asking why we would sell it without sound.

@grahamclews1571 3 года назад

Handle? Handel, handles everywhere! Ha ha. Great video guys..

@soundwavegamer2321 8 месяцев назад

You know what’s funny the Lego Tie Fighter released back in the early 2020 has wings based more off the vintage Kenner toy then the movie model like all the other Lego Tie Fighters.

@UsualmikeTelevision 3 года назад

Wonderful to see you all on the same video. Great info about the Tie Fighter and very well presented! Congrats on an epic video!

@japewisteria 3 года назад

Most First Order TIE's were actually single-seaters. The one Poe/Finn stole was a "Special Forces" 2-seater variant. The X-Wing miniatures game produced both for their game, along with vintage faves of mine like the TIE Defender. If you see them in a local store, you should check out the original trilogy Falcon they produce. It's one of the most detailed models I've ever seen, fully painted. It looks like it came straight off the screen. Great video!

@WyldstaarStudios 3 года назад

I picked up a Tie Fighter at the Goodwill Store a couple of weeks ago. It only has one wing, and both of the canopy doors are missing, but it was only $3. I'm planning to find some spare parts, hopefully all in different color variations. I'd like it to be a Tie from one of the border planets, and replacement parts are scarce.

@garybuder4645 3 года назад

Look up "star wars uglies"

@WyldstaarStudios 3 года назад

@@garybuder4645 While I am familiar with the Uglies concept, that's a project for another day. My plan for this project is more along the lines of a Tie Fighter version of a beater car.

@inmjoh 3 года назад

Another interesting custom would be the mining guild tie fighter from rebels.

@jonathanhughes4465 3 года назад

Possibly my favorite vintage toy video ever, since the TIE Fighter is my favorite starfighter - Thank You!

@tomfish6254 3 года назад

Superb video guys - it’s like a super group of my favourite toy you tube channels - can’t wait for the next one.

@derektorres6260 3 года назад

This was an awesome retrospective and collaboration. Nice work guys.

@tausti 3 года назад

Great video, I really enjoyed this...thanks!

@jpatt1000 Год назад

When I build models of TIE Fighters I use Intermediate Blue, a WWII Navy color. Tie Interceptors get painted Gunship Grey. Mainly because of the toys! I just got my first vintage Darth Vader's TIE Fighter today and was wondering about the lack of slots in the cockpit hatches. I didn't know the white TIE Fighter (which I still need to find an example of) was also lacking them. My 2018 Walmart TIE will not hold its wings in at all. It almost seems like something is stopping the grooves in the wings from reaching the latches, but I can't take it apart to see what's going on. Great history on the TIE Fighter toys from everyone!!!

@garym6315 6 месяцев назад

I think this topic sort of sums up my feelings on toys in general and specifically Star Wars - I'm all for more accurate figures but not at the expense of them actually looking like playable figures. For me the peak was the 90s when we got figures of Ree Yees, Prume Face, Luke Bespin, Gammorean Guard. They had a perfect balance between accuracy and exaggerated toyline aesthetics. By comparison, I see many recent figures and they look like little more than scale models of the characters. The original TIE was awesome (though I never owned it) but those versions with the correct scale wings are ridiculously large for a toy.

@white-dragon4424 2 года назад

The structure on the rear of Vader's TIE Advanced was a hyperdrive system. The regular TIE Fighters didn't have this partly to cut costs, and partly so pilots couldn't desert.

@DarioDarrow 3 года назад

Tnis makes me want to hunt around in my loft to find my original blue ‘83 Tie 😄

Out of the park. Thanks for the entertainment guys!

@j.s.connolly8579 2 года назад

I have three of the 2018 TIE Fighters from Wal-Mart. I bought two off of E-Bay and one at a rummage sale. The Rummage sale one was the Main Body and one wing for a couple of bucks. I'm using the Interior and other parts to Detail my DV TIE X-1 toy to make it "Screen Accurate". I've also permanently glued/epoxied on the main Wing Parts so that those flimsy Clips won't break off of the wing panels. I will be adding lights and sounds to the two TIES and the TIE X-1 as well!

@AnalogToys 2 года назад

Sounds like quite a project. Good luck!

@jackdefranco8346 3 года назад

Growing up with just the POTF 2 TIE, I never knew the back part of the Kenner version was a battery compartment and that the wing panels were stickers and not molded. I always thought the 95 version was an exact mold re-release from 78. Great video as always from all three of you.

@Matt_Desrochers74 3 года назад

Awesome video as always. You are all killing me with the handle/battery compartment though. I’m glad that went away. And yes, I’m 47 and part of the OT generation.

@michealcormier2555 2 года назад

I managed to get the Soonter Fell Tie Interceptor in the '00s. I like the addition of the red stripes down its panels and the kill markings along its hull.

@TiagoHackbarth 2 года назад

The one thing I felt was missing from the video where the Brazilian Glasslite versions of these toys, they make some interesting middle steps in the evolution of these ships.
