My (main) problem is that this piece is bigger than it should be -- its
base is 2 studs deep, plus the domed part and gun-points that stick out
in front. And the whole thing is the trans-smoke material. I think if
this part was only 1-deep (plus sticking-out parts), I'd be much happier
with it.
On the plus side, they inset notches around the round parts, so it will
be easier to bury this part further into walls.
Maybe TLG's got other plans for this piece, because it certainly doesn't
look optimized for use as a TIE fighter element...
