With Star Wars Lego increasing dramatically on price over the last few years, my collecting focus has tended to favour the smaller (and far more affordable) miniature vehicle line. While new releases tend to be sporadic, Target almost always has at least one bagged vehicle hanging by the checkout. Recently, I managed to nab the 30275 TIE Advanced Prototype for just $3.49US ($4.77NZ).
As is usually the case with these sets, it's a whole lot of Lego for a very small price. The model nicely emulates the design made famous in Star Wars Rebels, and even manages to squeeze in four folding wings to further enhance the accuracy. My only complaint (and it's a small one) is that Lego didn't stretch to one of the printed cockpit bubbles like we saw in the 9676 TIE Interceptor & Death Star set. That would have been a great finishing touch on an otherwise fantastic little set.
