The New UCS TIE Interceptor Is A Perfect Set For LEGO’s 25th Anniversary
The First Model Released Back In 2000
The LEGO Group’s very first Star Wars sets were made and released in 1999, 25 years ago. As such, it’s very exciting to see one of their very first and most popular sets getting an updated model in celebration of that 25th anniversary. While there have been TIE Interceptor sets released in the past, this new model is the very first large-scale UCS version since the 2000 set.
In addition to this new UCS TIE Interceptor, the LEGO Group has also been releasing more celebration sets in 2024. This includes sets like Boarding The Tantive IV Review (75387) which feature special bonus minifigures that have never received brick-built treatment before. Likewise, LEGO is also celebrating the 25th-anniversary of The Phantom Menace will all new sets such as Darth Maul’s Sith Infiltrator (78353), set to release on May 1st as well.
Thanks to its $230 price tag, the UCS TIE Interceptor will also get collectors over all four price thresholds for LEGO’s upcoming May the Fourth sale, allowing them to receive four bonus gifts with their orders. Likewise, it should also look very nice next to LEGO’s previously released UCS X-Wing which was released in 2023. As such, the UCS TIE Interceptor (78352) will undoubtedly be one of the most popular Star Wars LEGO sets in 2024.
