Saesee Tiin's Jedi Starfighter

Saesee Tiin's Jedi Starfighter is a solid addition to any LEGO Star Wars collection.

🏆 Best For: Perfect for Star Wars enthusiasts and LEGO builders aged 8 and up ⏱ 2 hr build 🧩 244 pcs
★★★★☆ 4.1

Fans appreciate the unique Jedi Master minifigures and sleek design of the starfighter, but some find the color scheme a bit bland and the overall build somewhat simple for the price.

📝 Our Take

Saesee Tiin's Jedi Starfighter is a solid addition to any LEGO Star Wars collection. Released in 2012, this set offers a sleek and accurate representation of the Jedi Master's vehicle from the Clone Wars era, featuring a distinctive design and a good selection of minifigures.

This set is perfect for Star Wars fans and collectors seeking to expand their Jedi Starfighter fleet. With a moderate piece count, it provides an enjoyable building experience that's not too overwhelming, and the included minifigures add to the play and display value.

Skip this if you're only interested in the most recent or highly detailed sets. While a good set for its time, newer Star Wars sets might offer more advanced building techniques and larger scale models. Consider looking at more recent Jedi Starfighter sets for updated designs.

B
Investment Grade
⏳ Active
Saesee Tiin's Jedi Starfighter, released in 2012, holds moderate investment potential. As a retired set from the popular Star Wars theme, it benefits from the franchise's enduring appeal. The inclusion of exclusive minifigures like Even Piell enhances its collectibility. While not the most iconic Star Wars vehicle, its relative scarcity and decent condition in the aftermarket contribute to its potential for value appreciation. However, its smaller size and piece count might limit significant price surges compared to larger UCS sets. Investing in this set requires careful consideration of its condition and the overall demand for Clone Wars-era LEGO.

Compare Similar Sets

Saesee Tiin's Jedi Starfighter offers a unique design compared to other Jedi Starfighters, particularly in its wing configuration. While similar sets like Anakin's Jedi Interceptor (9494-1) offer more common characters, this set provides the exclusive Even Piell minifigure. Collectors might choose this set for its unique minifigure selection and the distinctive look of Saesee Tiin's ship.

3 Minifigures Included

The inclusion of Saesee Tiin and Even Piell, especially Even Piell, makes this set desirable for minifigure collectors. R3-D5 is a nice addition, though less unique.
