Darth Vader TIE Fighter Vehicle

This listing establishes the first documented U.S. issue of Darth Vader TIE Fighter Vehicle in 1979. Ranney Index catalogs this as the USA First Issue for the underlying vehicle. Later packaging of the same physical toy is treated as a Repackaged Release unless documented construction changes establish a Variant or Reissue. Three U.S. Kenner package variations, all Star Wars logo: 1979 standard; 1980 Special Offer with cardboard diorama; 1984 Collector Series. International packages exist under other film logos.
