Star Wars

Imperial TIE Fighter

The Imperial TIE Fighter recreates the Empire's classic starfighter from the Star Wars films, instantly recognisable by its hexagonal solar panels. This 2018 set uses 519 pieces and four minifigures to build a compact but faithful version of the ship. With 113 unique parts, it leans towards a graphic, large-surface build rather than heavy fine detail.

Description

Recreating an iconic silhouette

Light bluish grey, black, dark bluish grey and flat silver make up the colour scheme, matching the ship's screen-accurate look without needing any extra paint or stickers to sell the effect. The spherical cockpit pod and the flat, panelled wings are the two build sections where the set translates a rounded sci-fi shape into LEGO bricks, and getting that silhouette right is really the whole point of the model. At 519 pieces it stays compact enough for a single building session while keeping the ship instantly recognisable on a shelf.

A graphic build rather than a fiddly one

With only 113 unique parts, the model relies on repeated standard bricks rather than lots of specialised pieces, which suits a spacecraft with large flat surfaces instead of heavily textured detailing. Builders looking to reuse parts for their own spaceship creations will find the full breakdown, including exact colours and quantities, in the parts list on this page, along with notes on where similar pieces turn up elsewhere.

Four minifigures, ship-first design

Four minifigures come with the set, fitting the crew of an Imperial fighter along with supporting personnel, and giving the model some play value beyond static display. They're a supporting element rather than the main draw here; the ship itself is clearly the centrepiece, and the minifigure count reflects that balance rather than trying to compete with dedicated character-focused sets.

Where it fits in a collection

At just over 500 pieces with a clearly defined build, the TIE Fighter suits anyone who wants a finished, recognisable model without committing to a multi-day project spread across a week or more. It stands on its own on a shelf just as easily as it slots into a larger Star Wars diorama alongside other ships. If a part goes missing or gets damaged later, the parts list on this page makes it straightforward to identify exactly what's needed to fix it.
