Grumpystumpy Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Hi all whilst clearing the loft for a move,I've come across a 7181 Tie Interceptor. the box is tatty but the bags are all unopened,unfortunately there are no instructions on how to assemble. How much is it worth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Looking at the eBay sold listings for the set, I think you could get around $600 - $700 for the set in this condition. If the box was not opened and if it was in great shape, you could get a lot more money for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Mack Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Find a good box and instructions and you have a $700 set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@rtisan Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Did a quick search for you, on Bricklink there appear to be a few Instruction booklets available. Can`t find any boxes though, so you are out of luck there. I`d pick up an Instruction set, add it in, and you should be able to get a healthy amount of $$$ for it. Nice find!

echin313 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Hello everyone, I'm fairly new to these forums and don't post very often but I had a question that I hope you can help me with. My parents recently moved out of the home I grew up in as a child and I live in a one bedroom apartment with my wife, so unfortunately I decided it was time to sell some of my Star Wars LEGO sets because I just don't have the space for them. I've posted them on Brick Classifieds and have made a few sales, one of which was a 7181 UCS TIE Interceptor. This set was purchased for me by my mother, back when it was released. I can't be sure of the exact timeframe, whether it was purchased right when it was released in 2000 or soon after, but I have had this sitting at my parents' home for many years now. It was one of two TIE Interceptor sets that I have - I believe either I or my mother mistakenly purchased a 2nd set at some point. I recently made the sale on Brick Classifieds and the buyer was skeptical of the box seals after he received it. Now to be clear, he said he isn't accusing me of tampering with the box, but he did want to bring it to my attention and might like to return it to me. Here is the listing I had on Brick Classifieds, and among the pictures in my listing you can see many of the box seals that are on the set: https://www.brickclassifieds.com/products/7181-1-tie-interceptor-lego-star-wars-ultimate-collector-series-nib As you can see I was not trying to hide the seals at all because these are the only ones I have ever known. But he says that he has never seen a seal which looks like that on any TIE Interceptor listing. Is anyone else here familiar with these box seals? Do they look suspicious to anyone? I know for a fact that I've never opened the set and it has been sitting at my parents' house for years until they moved and I finally took it with me. You can see a Toys R Us sticker in one of the pictures I took, so I'm assuming that is where my mother purchased this from. Is it possible that Toys R Us used a different box seal than another retailer? Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Mack Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Well if you look at your photo it has those barcodes on it. Then if you look at this 10030 it has the same type on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echin313 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Ah, thanks! I don't know why I didn't think to look at OTHER sets. I was just looking for pictures of the TIE Interceptor set. Those certainly look the same to me. I have seen a few 7181 TIE Interceptor sets on eBay and none of them seem to have the barcode seals. But at least I can show that these seals were in use.
