Battle Damaged Imperial TIE Fighter

This listing establishes the first documented U.S. issue of Battle Damaged Imperial TIE Fighter in 1983. 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. Distinct from the earlier standard Imperial TIE Fighter because the battle-damage action is a meaningful product feature. ROTJ-era packaging; international versions require separate audit.
