The Mandalorian Fang Fighter vs TIE Interceptor was released in Spring of 2023 with a price tag of $99.99. Included in the set are two single-seat starfighters from the Mandalorian saga. Featured minifigures include the Mandalorian, a.k.a. Din Djarin, a Mandalorian pilot, TIE Fighter pilot, and astro-mech droid. Two building instruction booklets divide the build by starfighter. Booklet one is for the Fang fighter and is a straight forward build with simple building techniques and few details. Booklet 2 includes building instructions for the TIE Interceptor and has all the complexities and details lacking from the Fang Fighter. My favorite features are the angled wings connected to the fuselage with Technic pegs, a SNOT building technique. One drawback is the tight cockpit. To insert the pilot, you lower the windscreen and lift the top hatch. The TIE Interceptor build makes this set worth the purchase. The TIE Interceptor is expertly crafted and looks sleek from every angle. The size and scale of the Interceptor match recent TIE Fighters and X-wings enhancing any shelf display.
