Vader TIE Fighter

Code 3 Collectibles is taking pre-orders for their Darth Vader's TIE Fighter Signature Series. The company is presenting an authentic reproduction of the TIE Advanced X1 Starfighter to date; complete with battle damage. Every detail of the original starship has been meticulously captured, and recreated in die cast with astonishing precision.

Vader's custom TIE Advance X1 has larger, angular wings, a longer rear engine, and both protective shields and hyperdrive capability. With over 300 hand-crafted pieces, all detailed features were scaled from the original TIE Advanced X1. The cockpit hatch is removable to expose astounding detail of the cockpit interior, control panels, side panel detailing (including battle damage) and even includes Darth Vader seated at his pilot chair. This compelling showpiece is custom painted to emphasize its rich detail, from the weathering effect of the exhaust fumes, to the computer detail on the interior side panels. The base has been molded to replicate the outer surface of the Death Star. The signature plaque is strategically placed at an angle so that the signature of James Earl Jones is easily displayed.

This replica of the TIE Advance X1 Starfighter was molded based on the original models and photos from the Lucasfilm archives.

Included with the model:

Battle damaged TIE Fighter
3D resin base
James Earl Jones Signature Plaque
Acrylic Cover
Certificate of Authenticity
Collectors Patch
Custom made stand
Magnetic tool

The model is priced at $450.

Your kidding right?? LOL Transform? You mean if it did transform you'd spend $450 on it?? LOL

Nice buy, will look good next to the others I own

Kidding??? LOL Well of course I'm Kidding!! LOL And you would buy this???? LOL LOL Your kidding right??? Are You Being As Sarcastic As I Was??? LOL LOL Just don't take it out of the package. You'll get Cheetoh stains on it.

Transform huh? Pssht, that's nothing compared to "both protective shields and hyperdrive capability" which isn't something you get for your everyday toy! Not only is it faster than light, it can also withstand a meeting with a wall (or small animal) at that speed!

Aside from this one being die cast and coming with a "certificate of authenticity" (is that like a warranty, in case comething goes wrong with the hyperdrive or shields?), it sounds identical to a plastic model kit I built many years ago. THAT one cost TWENTY DOLLARS!! WOW!! Expensive!

Merchandising whores!

Why not spend your money on something useful? Like storm windows, or a nice pipe organ.

• Jan 04, 2006, 08:25am •
That's half a mortage payment that's insane! Some rich geek will have it on his shelf collecting dust.

• Jan 04, 2006, 08:59am •
You could almost buy a real tie fighter for that price

• Jan 04, 2006, 09:45am •
What's the magnetic tool for? I like the way they have the battle damage on it, but $450? I mean, I like to collect this stuff, but jeez, can't we make it a tad more reasonable? I'll wait, thank you......
