“Have the coolest toy in your neighborhood!” this Craigslist ad says. “This TIE Fighter looks like shit!” says Sam Biddle. “It’s way better than the TIE Fighter I built,” replies Brian Barrett. “Let’s buy it!” I say. $150? Come on!
Sadly, we are not in Seattle:
Approximately 1/3 scale TIE Fighter. 8x8x8 feet but breaks down into 5 pieces for easy transport in a pickup or can haul partially assembled (except for the top half of the wings) on a trailer. Wheeled casters make it easy to move once assembled. Laser cannons are set to fire standard party poppers. Well built out of 3/4 plywood with the wings sheeted in cardboard. Tested to hold over 300 pounds. Cockpit is 38 inches by 38 inches and my 5ft tall son comfortably sits inside. $150 or best offer 360-791-1843
