75082 - TIE Advanced Prototype

[biking_tiger]

I'll go on record saying the build is fun and the Inquisitor is a really well designed minifig. The TFA TIE  price is pretty high--more pieces, I'll grant, but high. I like this one down the road. We won't have another grand inquisitor like this for a long time, if ever.

Isn't there a 5th brother inquisitor coming out in summer wave too?

Keep in mind I haven't watched a lot of the rebels episodes so not sure difference between grand and 5th brother

There is an inquisitor coming in a set this summer, but it is about $120.  They are different characters.  The only thing that hurts this set was that the grand inquisitor died at the end of the first season.  He did show up in a flashback kind of thing in an episode recently.

Sorry - need to correct myself (when I said inquisitor i meant grand inquisitor - just being lazy ).  

I think the grand dudeness will end up being a highly sort after fig even though he got killed off.  Also being a Jedi temple guard cant hurt either (a Kanen vs the temple guards set would be on the buy list for me).

Had one of these delivered today 02S5 seal code.  

Nothing really to say but did make me wonder (+ you know when its getting too much and your priorities to check are 1) box condition, 2) seals in tack and 3) whats that seal code  )

I still think this one holds its own against all the ties out now but i think the striker (and the inquisitor being gone from rebels season 1) will take a lot of focus on this one. It might be one of those sets thats goes retired on LEGO Shop at Home but is available into the summer elsewhere.
