Description

The odd one out in the TIE family

Most TIE craft share the same ball-shaped cockpit, but the bomber breaks the pattern. It carries two pods side by side between its wings, one for the pilot and one for its payload. In The Empire Strikes Back, TIE bombers pound the larger asteroids in an attempt to flush out the Millennium Falcon, which is hiding among the rocks. It is a short moment in the film, yet the ship's unusual shape makes it one of the most memorable Imperial designs.

A varied mix for its size

With 31 distinct elements among 60 pieces, this set repeats fewer parts than many small models, so the build keeps changing as you go. Black leads the colour list, followed by light bluish grey, dark bluish grey and trans-clear. Those shades match the cold, functional look of Imperial ships. The single minifigure gives a sense of scale next to the ship. For checking completeness, the parts list on this page shows every element with its colour and quantity.

More than a vehicle

Because the asteroid field comes with it, the finished set feels like a small scene rather than a lone ship. That makes it a tidy display for a desk or shelf, especially next to other compact sets that pair a vehicle with its setting. At the same time, the bomber can be lifted off for play, and younger children should manage the short build on their own. It is a neat way to own an Imperial ship that is less common than the standard TIE fighter.

After the display

Black and grey parts are staples for anyone who builds their own starships, so the pieces stay useful once the scene is taken down. The trans-clear elements in particular can serve as windows, lights or supports in all kinds of models. The What can I build? tool on this page compares your collection with other sets and lists those you could complete now. It also shows how many parts you would need for the rest, which helps when planning your next build.
