Set Review - Microfighters TIE Interceptor 75031

It just occurred to me that there is no series numbering system on these boxes.  Does that mean we get these six Microfighters on a market trial basis?  Or is The LEGO Company trying to rid itself of the confines of a series run?  Maybe they'll release another six when they feel like it.

Next in the line up is the TIE Interceptor.  Not the TIE Fighter.  Apparently the fighter didn't look good all microfied.  Probably looked like the X-Wing.  But really, what's the difference?  The Interceptor has four wings folded in and is black.  That's about it.  At this point I could /review and be satisfied.  But sometimes y'all like to see pictures and read more words.


The build is straightforward with very little of interest.  There are a few nifty parts (2x2 inverted tiles) but nothing that makes the set stand out.  And the fact that the overall look and feel is similar to the X-Wing left me saying "meh".

The part count is a little lacking compared to other sets in this line.  Where many of the sets are near 100 parts, this one hovers near 90.  I suppose if you are all gung ho about this specific Star Wars craft then you'll get it.  But if you're looking to one off a set here or there, I still recommend the Millenium Falcon.

All the Microfighters:
