Description

Two ships, two factions

Set 75150 places two adversaries from the original Star Wars trilogy side by side: Darth Vader's TIE Advanced, instantly recognisable by its bent wings, and a Rebel Alliance A-wing, one of the fleet's fastest interceptors. The TIE Advanced carries the Empire's angular, symmetrical design language, while the A-wing looks compact and streamlined by comparison — a deliberate visual contrast that separates the two factions before any dogfight even starts. One set effectively turns into a side-by-side comparison of two opposing design philosophies.

702 pieces, 222 shapes: real detail

At 702 pieces and 222 distinct shapes, close to a third of the parts are unique — a sign of a genuinely detailed build rather than one built from repeating basic bricks. Both ships share that part budget, which means each individual model is more compact than a comparable single-ship set. The parts list on this page breaks down exactly how those 222 shapes split between hull, wings, cockpit and detail elements on each fighter, so each model can also be followed on its own.

Imperial greys against rebel green

Colours follow the factions: light and dark bluish grey dominate the TIE Advanced as classic Imperial tones, backed by plenty of black for the cockpit and engines. Dark green provides the visible contrast on the A-wing, echoing the paint schemes used by rebel squadrons. Working through the colour breakdown on this page shows how cleanly the palette splits between the two ships rather than blending across the whole set — handy detail when you're sorting loose bricks by colour.

Four minifigures, one confrontation

Four minifigures come with the set, including Darth Vader himself piloting his TIE Advanced — a fairly safe bet given the set's name. The remaining figures split across both sides of the conflict, turning the model into more than two static ships parked side by side. The parts list on this page is also useful for checking which shapes suit your own modifications or fleet expansions, for instance if you want to build extra fighters in a matching colour scheme.
