Star Wars Micro Machines Action Fleet Series Alpha B-Wing Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you want to get one Action Fleet Y-wing, get this one. The ship is probably the best of the B-wings in the Action Fleet series. The concept art B-wing is a nice touch and looks very quite different from the final design. If you already have the original B-wing, the main vehicle isn't much different, with just a few streaks of battle damage, so you'd really only be paying for the ship. It would have been nice if Hasbro had repainted the ship and made the cockpit a bit smaller, but as it stands it still looks great.

Tie Defender Featuring Imperial Pilot & Moff Jerjerrod (Micro Machines Star Wars Action Fleet) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Action Fleet Tie Defender. This little ship is perhaps the most infamous, and rarest, in the Action Fleet line. It came out soon after the PC Tie Fighter game, which features the craft. Unfortunately, it was almost impossible to find in stores. I finally acquired two for a reasonable price and boy am I glad. It's a nice looking ship, well sculpted. You can remove one solar panel, and flip another one so it looks like "battle damage." Both features are done well and are integrated seamlessly with the main body of the ship. I do wish the wings were slightly bigger, as it would probably be better proportioned with the cockpit, but other than that this is a great replica of the ship in the game. This is a tough one to find, so my only advice is that while it's expensive, you should be able to find one boxed for around a hundred dollars or so. If you do find one, get it!

Star Wars Action Fleet Tie Fighter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Imperial TIE Fighter is a unique design which should be a part of any Star Wars fan's collection. After all, you need *something* to chase off those X-wings.
The Action Fleet TIE Fighter is generally a good toy, with excellent play-factor. Not only can you open up the cockpit and insert the pilot, but you can pull off the reactor on the back and take out the fuel tanks under the cockpit. This is pretty cool for a kid pretending to 'repair' the ship before take-off or 'blowing the ship up' during a dogfight (and let's be honest, what are the chances of a TIE Fighter coming back alive from a fight?).
Some downsides of the toy are the fragility of the wings. A wing on the one I had as a kid snapped off when I lost my grip on it and it landed on the concrete in my dad's driveway. However, the high-impact plastic should withstand a drop on carpeted floor easily, this was after several *repeated* spinning throws from being 'shot' by my X-wings, and I was able to repair it with epoxy. That being the case, caution your child if you're getting it for Christmas to be careful.
I rated the educational value low because, let's face it, this is a toy of a fictional spacecraft. However, science teachers may find it a helpful visual aid for the future of space travel, since the TIE stands for Twin *Ion* Engine. Ion engines are a real propulsion system, though they are too weak to propel a spacecraft as shown in Star Wars.
Overall, I like the Action Fleet TIE Fighter. For the problems with fragility it has, it is a great toy for a child who has an X-wing or other Rebel vehicle. I'd recommend this to any mini-Star Wars fan.
