It has been a long time since I looked at LEGO products, the most memorable use of which in my recent memory being The Brick Testament. Their recent forays into leveraging television shows with tie-ins to their sets has continued for years, extending nowadays to shows based on LEGO sets. On a shopping trip to K-Mart for some storage bins, I noticed a 9676 TIE Interceptor & Death Star set on the bargain shelf.

The Tie Interceptor is one of my favorite ships from the Star Wars series of movies; one of LEGO's most prominent and long running tie-in series; and it was only $7. I've been impressed at the detail, both on the model and the mini figure. The Death Star model is rather clever too, able to hold all the parts for the models, even including a loop to fasten on the top to create a planetary system model (most of these sets include a planet or moon) or for use as an ornament.
