(...) I find it hilarious that the text for this set says: "Darth Vader commands this ship" when he never flew a regular TIE. He had his own ship, and TLG made the set. This is the kind of thing that bothered me even as a kid. I always thought to (...) (20 years ago, 11-Feb-05, to lugnet.starwars)

I guess this is (hopefully) 1 of 2 sets to be produced this year for the Old Trilogy. It is availabe in North American markets for $50.00 US, (or $70.00 Canadian). (URL) Ben Medinets (20 years ago, 10-Feb-05, to lugnet.starwars)
