Darth Vader Tie Fighter:

I never had it when I was a kid. But I think the vehicle is awesome and kenner did a fantastic job

The Darth Vader TIE Fighter was my Christmas present in 1978 . And I had one long before (or so it seemed to me back then!) I got a regular white TIE Fighter, so my space battle recreations were strictly limited to Luke's X-Wing vs Darth's TIE Fighter until Mr White eventually showed up

This isn't my favourite Star Wars toy, but I do like it a lot. Because it was one of the very first non-figure Star Wars toys I ever owned, it holds a special place in my affections, and always will. The box is rather over-sized given the contents, and also somewhat flimsy, so it never ceases to amaze me just how many of these seem to have survived to the present day, and many of them in pretty good condition too!

Here's mine. A pretty nice box, complete with inner packaging and destructions. My apologies for the crap photos of the toy and inner packaging though. They were taken ages ago without flash.
