Title: Mini Tie Fighter offer
Post by: Zam Wessell on December 16, 2002, 11:07 PM: I was one of the lucky ones to get the free Tie Fighter Lego from StarWars.com and Lego.

I had renewed at the Fan Club but they wouldn't let me get one because I renewed before their deal.

I was bummed, but then I saw the opportunity at Star Wars.com and we got ours in the mail about three weeks ago.

Now the Fan Club e-mailed me and wants to help me get one too. Go Figure???

I guess two are better than one!

I'm from Canada so I guess I'm out. :'(

Glad you got one or should I say two. ;)

Post by: Reconsgt on December 20, 2002, 04:11 PM: I received my set yesterday. This is the first lego SW set I have received. The poster looks cool. Now I want to get the mini ATAT when it comes out.

I think this is going to be another expensive turn for me.

Post by: JediMAC on December 20, 2002, 06:42 PM: I got my free mini Lego Tie Fighter in the mail yesterday as well. Simple, yet fun little set this is. I even assembled this bad boy without even peeking at the instructions once (really, I swear!) - first time that's ever happened for me with a Lego set, for sure! I know what you're all thinking: God, this guy's amazing to put this whole set together all on his own - he must be some kind of genius! Well, you'd all be correct there. In fact, I really wonder if anyone else will be able to do the same, or if I was the only one clever enough... :P Let me know if you were able to put it together without cheating too - but I'm going to need some serious visual proof, 'cause I likely won't believe you!

Anyways, it'll be fun to collect this mini line, and display all the tiny little different ships together. I just hope that now that Lego has delved into this new line, that they go all the way and do every last ship - at least for the Original Trilogy, 'cause I hate to own anything less than a "complete" set...of anything!

Looking forward to getting some more of these little suckers! Drop a line in here if/when anyone finds them! They should be hitting retail pretty soon, I'd imagine...

Post by: TheGuyInTheShadows on February 16, 2003, 09:51 AM: For those who went Starwars.com for the second set of free mini ties,has anyone recieved there's yet?
Title: Re:Second Time Around
Post by: dustrho on February 16, 2003, 11:28 AM: I honestly didn't even know they offered it a second time. I got one the first time they were released, but I haven't decided if I want to open it up or not.
Title: Re:Second Time Around
Post by: DSJ™ on February 16, 2003, 03:40 PM: Never heard of it ethier. Mines still sealed & it will stay sealed. That's the kinda colllector I am. :)
Title: Re:Second Time Around
Post by: TheGuyInTheShadows on February 16, 2003, 05:53 PM: Oh! You never heard about the second time.Well it's true Hasbro had a second set of free mini ties.
Title: Re:Second Time Around
Post by: DSJ™ on February 16, 2003, 06:49 PM: Was that the one offered for promotion with the launch of the 4 mini-models?
Title: Re:Second Time Around
Post by: TheGuyInTheShadows on February 16, 2003, 07:19 PM: Yes I do believe it was.
Title: Re:Second Time Around
Post by: DSJ™ on February 16, 2003, 07:30 PM: Thought so. I had to go to the site & find out.
They were only available in the US. I had a member send me one. For that I am very Thankful. :)

I even got the 4 Mini set's up here at Sears. 8)

Post by: Reconsgt on March 24, 2003, 11:05 PM: Speaking of Tie fighter legos looks like someone else has gotten me back down the lego road again, Hey James ;)

Post by: Depmode on March 25, 2003, 09:49 AM: Are ya liking the system Tie Fighter I sent ya wayne?
Title: Re: Tie Fighter Lego
Post by: Reconsgt on March 25, 2003, 10:03 AM: I haven't taken that one out of the box yet. I will probably do that one tonite after work, the slave 1 was neat. Man I haven't built anything with legos for close to 20 years.
Title: Re: Tie Fighter Lego
Post by: Depmode on March 25, 2003, 10:14 AM: cool, glad ya liked it. Jangos slave 1 was a pretty decent set. The only "problem" was the connection of the wings to the body. I kept knocking them off as I was making the set, so that became annoying.
Title: Mini TIE offer
Post by: Diddly on December 29, 2003, 04:01 PM: I just got the newest Lego Shop@Home in the mail, and it says that if you order the Mini Models III collection (All four of the new Minis), then you get a FREE Mini TIE Fighter. Order now, if you don't have any of these sets!
Title: Re: Mini TIE offer
Post by: Morgbug on December 29, 2003, 11:13 PM: How do the mini-Tie's (presumably the same as last years) differ from the other mini's? Are they in scale?
Title: Re: Mini TIE offer
Post by: Jaguary on January 2, 2004, 01:22 PM: They are the same size. Roughly the same shape as the TIE Bomber and TIE Advanced.
Title: Re: Mini TIE offer
Post by: Morgbug on January 2, 2004, 04:43 PM: Thanks for the answer. Is this offer still available ???

I just checked the website and there is no indication of it. I have the rest of the minis and would like to have the Tie as well. Since I haven't got the III wave yet, I could do it this way but won't unless the Tie comes too.

Did I miss a coupon event or something?
Title: Re: Mini TIE offer
Post by: Diddly on January 3, 2004, 01:18 AM: It should still be available. The website has no mention of it, but if you call the hotline, I believe they know about the deal.

Brent,

I believe I have one of these lying around from the initial promotion. If we work out that trade we can work this in if the offer is no longer available.

Post by: Jaguary on January 8, 2004, 08:22 AM: I think they also have them at the LEGO stores.

Post by: JediMateo on March 6, 2004, 07:14 PM: Lego is usually pretty good with advertising their promotions, but it would really surprise me if their is no indication of it on their site.
