Authenticating this set requires verifying the presence of a holographic sticker on the box, which is standard for Lego sets released in 2016. You should also check that the part numbers printed on the instruction manual and the box match the official Lego database for set 75128. Counterfeit versions often lack the holographic seal or feature incorrect part numbering on the packaging.

The Lego TIE Advanced Prototype (75128) is retired and no longer in print. It was released in 2016 and discontinued in 2018. New, sealed sets are only available through third-party resellers or the secondary market.
Inspect the transparent canopy for scratches, cloudiness, or cracks, as this is the most common defect in this set. Examine the black printed tiles on the hull for wear, fading, or missing pieces, particularly around the engine nacelles. Check the structural integrity of the wing joints and ensure all minifigure accessories, such as the blaster and helmet, are present. Verify that the instruction booklet and original box are included if grading for completeness rather than just play condition.
