New Lego UCS Tie Fighter Introduced at the 2015 New York Toy Fair

Boasting 1,685 pieces, the Ultimate Collector Series TIE Fighter 75095 is the biggest and best Lego Star Wars Tie Fighter ever created! Shown to us for the first time today at the 2015 ToyFair in New York City. Check this out!

I have always loved the Imperial Tie Fighter! The Lego Darth Vader's TIE Fighter (8017) was the first Lego set that I bought as an adult, and I was lucky enough to find one of the larger Tie Fighters (9492) somehow still in the store just recently. It is bigger than the Darth Vader Tie Fighter, but this New UCS Tie Fighter is enormous!

To judge its size, I put the picture side by side with Lego stock pics of the other two Tie Fighter sets 9492 and 8017, and scaled them using the minifigures to judge the size. I think this really shows how much larger the Lego Collector Series Tie Fighter really is. Take a look:

As revealed today at the NY Toy Fair, This 75095 set will retail for US $199.99 - CA $229.99 - DE 199.99€ - UK £169.99

Here is what LEGO had to say about this awesome set:
