Review: 30727 Star Wars TIE Advanced Polybag

The new for 2026 polybags are starting to arrive.  It looks like paper packaging has finally made its way to the United States.  I found this one at Barnes & Noble.

Bag.  MSRP is $4.99 for a $0.07 Price per Piece.  

Instructions.

Parts.  Half Circle Plate w/Cutout, Dishes, Plates, Translucent Plates, Bar

Plates, Double Inverted Slopes w/Cutout, Tiles, Large Jumpers, Slope, Wedge

Build 1.  Two Frames (2W) and a Station.  

Build 2.  Cannot be built at the same time

as Build 1.  Frame (2W) and a Station.

Build 3.  Cannot be built at the same time as

Build 1 and 2.  Set Build.  IO Frigate (2W).

Build 4.  Cannot be built at the same time as Build 1, 2, and 3.  IO Frigate (2W) and HVA.  You could turn the Frigate into a quad walker if you wanted too.

The Questions:

Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  Below.  (+5)  (The Golden Ratio is $0.10 per part.)
If you can't build a frame right away, or choose not to, does it have parts you should be able to put into use right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts?  Yes.  (+5)
Score: +20 (A+).  Frame-in-a-Bag, Ship-in-a-Bag, useful pieces, good parts count, this one's a winner.
