     Today is TIE Fighter Day and to prove it we have added yet another TIE Fighter to the Visual Guides...this time, it is LEGO Set #7263 LEGO Set #7263. The great thing about this set is not just another opportunity to score another part of the Imperial Fleet, but it comes with a Darth Vader complete with light up lightsaber! Check it out...click below!

     Bigger and better than ever before, the new TIE Fighter with larger scale wings has made its way into the ROTS Visual Guides today. Clearly larger than all the TIEs that came before it, this is the TIE Fighter of TIE Fighters! Click below for a closer look!
