The Sith Fury Interceptor is a unique build with one of the best figures Lego has ever made.

The figures include Darth Malgus and two Sith Troopers. The Sith Troopers lack disappointing leg printing, although they would release with it the next wave in a battle pack so it isn't a huge deal. The Malgus figure is great with a unique cape and molded respirator (perhaps the best mold lego has ever done). The figures complement the build perfectly with all three having spaces in the ship.

The ship itself is a sold and bulky build with a cockpit and a troop compartment in the rear. Unlike its in-universe counterpart, this iteration is a starfighter rather than a massive shuttle transport as seen in the games. It fills this role well and is a really neat build. The "wings" are put together with some interesting techniques and the S-foils function as intended. There is nothing to complain about build-wise.

The set was released for $90 back in the day which would be close to $110 in 2022. This was fairly overpriced however looking at the aftermarket value now it was well worth it. This is a great set, especially for anyone who wants something a bit more unique in their collection.

Why?

Because of this guy:

Pros

• Fun build
  
• Great parts - a wide variety - many parts I haven't seen
  
• #6 numbered bags - no part finding hassle
• The Sith-Lord like minifigure - with the shoulder add-on
• Beautiful ship - very detailed
  

Cons

• Weak wing/flaps - the opening friction is enough to push Technic-style connectors away and remove the wing part - other weak parts of the wing falls of while re-connecting the wing - that's why playability is 3
• There are many painted parts, yet 4 identical stickers anyway, those 4 parts should have been painted too, stickers are literally a joke, imo
  
• Price - this was ~200 bucks in Turkey - too extreme - but worth it imo
  

This was the first Star Wars set I've built - kind of wishing I saved it for the last, It's awesome - I especially loved the build flow - 1/3 of the build is repetitive (second wing) however still really fun

I got this set a few days ago as a birthday present from my parents, and was very happy to get it since I had almost no money to spend. After trying to get it for a year, the Fury-Class Interceptor is now in my room to display. After playing around with it for a day, it has proven to be an excellent set for both play and display; however, like all sets I review (except for the perfect Bag End set), I do have some minor quibbles with this set's representation. Let's get started:

Pros

• The ship is designed extremely well; instantly recognizable for those who play "The Old Republic" often, yet it calls back some future ships (Episode III Jedi Interceptors) and Imperial colors to be established as a true Star Wars ship.
  
• The minifigures, as always, are amazing here; Darth Malgus in particular is extremely detailed and looks almost perfect, and the Sith Troopers look very close to their source material.
  
• The model is also surprisingly sturdy; considering that the bulk of the pieces is used on the wings (which make up 536 pieces of the 741 needed to make the ship) and are only connected via cross axles and connector pegs (they really are, which surprised me at first).
  

Cons

• The stickers are a big issue to me because they aren't the clear decals, which many, myself included, find to be more sticky and longer-lasting than stickers which are totally colored. However, they do add a lot of detail, so sticker-haters beware...
  
• The price is also of definite concern to me; although this is a larger model than I thought it would be, it is a tad pricey for what you get. Minifigures really drive up prices, especially with Star Wars.
  
• My final irk is that TLG didn't care enough about the Sith Troopers in this set to put the nice new printed legs on them; although the new Battle Pack has them, this was released only six months earlier and included two of them. Why? That could have justified the price just a bit more...
  

Regardless of the small and insignificant flaws, this is an excellent set. Most of these problems are fixable, so do get it on sale if you really want it. It's large, bulky, well-designed, and a lot of effort went into the making of this set. I recommend this towards those who actually play SWTOR due to the expense of this set, or those who really like the design of this set and would like to expand their collection to new horizons.

9500 LEGO Sith Fury-class Interceptor Review

A quick look at the box and some helpful info about this ship: The Fury-class interceptor was designed by the concept art team under Ryan Dening, the senior concept artist for Star Wars: The Old Republic. When they began developing the vessel, the team had already decided on a geometric style of smooth surfaces and a large number of angles for the Imperial ships. The ship design is sleek like a marriage between a TIE interceptor and the Millennium Falcon combine. In the fiction, the ship is manufacturer by Sith Empire and arm with 4 precision laser cannons and missiles. The function of this ship is to intercept during assault mission and personal transportation.

Box/Instructions: Let's take a look at the inside of this box. The box is only 80% fill, leaving 20% empty. We get 6 numbered bags pieces and a color construction manual.

Minifigures: It comes with two black Sith Troopers. These troopers look fantastic and complement very well with our next figure we are getting and that is…. Darth Malgus. Lego also included a few weapons for your minifigures which is nice to have and all three figs has one face printing. Aesthetically, these three minifigures are a huge draws for me!

Sith Interceptor: The hammer that will shatter the rib cage of the Republic fantastic. It took around 6 hours to complete this set depends on age and skill set. The Interceptor has a very solid build quality to it. The colour combination of grey, black, and small amount of red really accent the over all visual appearance of this ship. Overall, the build of this ship wasn’t difficult at all but some might find it repetitive because of the two large wings.

The cockpit is articulate to fit Darth Malgus comfortably by fold-out the control console and can easily insert or remove the pilot. On the back of the ship, there is a cargo landing sled for carrying the Sith troopers.

Now my favourite part of this ship is… the wings! The wing design is quite clever by using a combination of general plates, technic rods, and pins to hold and fold the entire rear setup. It reminds me of the Xwing’s strike foils opens up during combat in the Original Trilogy. Lego also added a few flick missiles on the wings to give it some play value.

Overall this really is a fantastic set: I personally never play the Old Republic game and I still want this set because of my love for Star Wars ships. After obtaining it, this set certainly doesn’t disappoint. I’m not a Lego aficionado but the great thing about building block toy is that you can remove things you don’t like and add things you like into it. As for the price, during summer 2012 most retailers sold this set for $90 (USD) and TRU had it for $110 (USD). Again that was the pricing plan back then. Now you can pickup this set for only $71 (USD) at Amazon with free shipping! At this price, you should definitely pull the trigger if you are still deciding. As an adult collector, The Sith Fury Class Interceptor received a 9.5 and received my personal Triple-E rating of "Extraordinary Engineer of Excellence!"

First of all, what a wonderful set! I am very satisfied with the design and true-to-life look that LEGO has given this ship, despite being unfamiliar with the Old Republic or its storyline. The minifigures themselves are excellent, and can easily see why people are charging such high prices for them (on eBay you can expect to pay around £50-60 just for the 3 figures).

The Interceptor

The Sith Fury-Class Interceptor itself is an amazing model, very sturdy with a high amount of detail, especially towards the back of the ship. The wings are also stable and detailed, not the sort that could be flimsy or break (heralding back to the old TIE Fighters). The cargo/troop hold is another good feature for the ship, allowing you to store the Sith Troopers when it is on display. The wings are also a good, complex design, at a price like this it would be disappointing to see something simple, but thankfully they are a good build. It is overall a very sound model that isn't likely to fall apart in your hands and well built.

The minifigures

I can easily see why many have rated Darth Malgus as one of the most anticipated figures, as LEGO have paid close attention to detail and made him as accurate to the real person as possible. The Sith Troopers also boast good detail, especially on the helmets, which are shaped similar to that of Darth Vader's helmet.

Pros

• Highly detailed Darth Malgus
• Well detailed Sith Troopers
• Very sturdy build
• Wings are well constructed

Cons

• £80 is perhaps a bit too steep, can be found elsewhere cheaper.
• Lack of space to put Malgus' lightsaber

In conclusion, a fantastic, well detailed set with brilliant minifigures to complement. Try to source cheaper if possible as it will be better value for money, but a set even I can hardly fault.
