Solscud007 Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 Ok I am a fan of the lego starwars set. When Episode one came out my friend and I went to Midnight Madness at TRU and I picked up the Darth Vader Tie fighter and Y-wing deluxe set. Darth Vader the lego is the coolest action figure ever. Anyway I also like the Mini lego sets. At the Lego store a while back if you bought anything from there they gave away a free lego tiefighter, it is a special edition not available in the normal release. They only have Vader's Tie fighter. SDCC 04 was also handing them out and I picked up a couple of the lego tiefighters. Well anyway I found something interesting at my local Mitsuwa Super market. I mitsuwa market, it is a japanese super market and I can get all manners of delicious japanese goods. I also like to buy those candy toys. Well today I found japanese release lego minis!!!! And they do not exist in america. Maybe they are for the next series but most likely not. As XStoys explained once (when we found jedi hair lock accessory by Hasbro in japan) sometimes toys are produced but a decision is made that the particular toy will not sell well in america so since a small number has been already produced they sell it to a market (i.e japan) where the demand will be small yet yield better than america. its retarted but done all the time. So anyway without further ado, Here it is a Lego Mini Tie Fighter Interceptor!!!!! Quote
Solscud007 Posted August 21, 2004 Author Posted August 21, 2004 In the assortment there are only two others. the Xwing without Vader tie fighter and Boba Fett's Slave one. Not Jengo Fett's. The US release has Jengo Fett's slave 1 with the Jedi Starfighter. All it is the same model in different colored legos. a bit pricey at $7.69 w/o tax but pretty cool for the rareness Quote
eugimon Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 well, there are lego star wars mini's in the US... they are just different models.. like droid land carrier, an AT-AT, star destroyer, millenium falcon and some other stuff... if you get all in one series there are parts to make a hidden model, like a Y-wing and tie bomber.

Solscud007 Posted August 21, 2004 Author Posted August 21, 2004 Yeah I know I have most of the US versions. But the Tie Interceptor and Boba Fett's Slave 1 are not in the US versions. Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 Yeah I know I have most of the US versions. But the Tie Interceptor and Boba Fett's Slave 1 are not in the US versions. nice find! I was in the area on friday to order my Figure OU #77 I should've stopped by to pick one of these up. So they had all three there? and did you pick them all up? Quote
Kin Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 lol they expect people to pay for a few lego bricks? Quote
