LEGO Star Wars: TIE Bomber
The TIE bomber is one of the Empire’s most fearsome ships. It usually flies in formation with the TIE fighter on a mission to stop the Rebels. Even X-wing pilots know fear when they see the TIE bomber heading their way. Open the front pods to reveal the pilot and a weapons chamber. Set contains 229 LEGO pieces.Though the finished product is a fun toy–a spectacular Tie Fighter with many mobile parts, a missile that can really be fired, and a little black-suited pilot–it is almost more like a 3-D puzzle than a toy. For younger kids who don’t have the patience to wade through the directions, which though text-free are really quite detailed, the 229 pieces may end up in a big, hopeless muddle. But for kids with the ambition and focus, or for parents who want some together time with their kids, the task of putting the thing together is certainly doable, and the result is a fun and colorful slice of the Star Wars universe of your very own. –David Stoesz

This lego is very attractive in it’s appearence [espically for star wars fans].I also think this toy could be educational because you are constructing something and using your brain.
5 Stars I love Star Wars sets by Lego
I want like every set by Lego. I love Legos! Supposedly it’s caused by my ADHD, but anyways…
Great! I loved it! It looks just like the one from the movie! And not only that, but it’s not just a model. The wings are adjustable, the cockpit opens, you can drop bombs out of the thing, and you can shoot a missle! And it looks so cool!
The best thing is you can make all sorts of hybrid ships out of this. I’ve made so many that are all so uniqe! But the trick is, get other Star Wars sets with this and make all sorts of cool stuff. I made like some ship with huge rocket engines for the Watto’s Junkyard (discontinued) with little landing things and an escape ship.
Or you can make anything you want…Legos are still inter changable…between sets and all! This is great for creative kids or kids who like to build things. I heard that Legos can make you smarter when you’re young, too.
All in all it’s awesome. And if your kids’ sibling (or someone else) breaks you or your kids’ model…just build it again. Or make soemthing different! Definetly worth the money.
But if you love Legos, save your money for ther 60, 70, 80, 90, or even 100+ dollar sets. They’re the best.
I personally want the Imperial Star Destoyer…3100 pieces….but 300 dollar!
5 Stars Awesome Set
This set is truly awesome. It is my second favourite LEGO set next to AT-TE. The 229 pieces aren’t hard to put together, but deliver the fun none the less. This set has two basic actions; it can fire a missle if the black lever is pulled, and it can drop tiny lego bombs made from blue transparent LEGO pieces by pulling back the thing on the end of its pods.
Overall, this set is well worth the money, and lasts along time, I’ve had it for a month, not a piece has broken off, I even dropped it to the floor on a carpet, it survived. GET THIS SET. Reccomended for ages 7+.
5 Stars Great!
This toy is really great! It takes quite a while to finish it, so you have a lot of fun building it. The Tie is not exactly like the real one in Star Wars but it looks fantastic overall. A really great thing to build and it’s quite durable.
5 Stars Great design and way cool!
The TIE Bomber is one of the best Star Wars Lego sets I’ve ever seen! Lego did a fantastic job in recreating this fearsome ship of the Empire. This set is great fun to play with and has many intricate details. This ship has two compartments that are side-by-side: the cockpit and a compartment which launches a missile.
The cockpit is roomy and plus, directly behind it, there is a little compartment where you can drop “bombs” which are small blue Lego pieces. The cockpit and missile launcher compartment are connected by a small bridge. The set even has an awesome TIE Pilot minifig!
Overall the TIE Bomber is an excellent addition to your Star Wars collection. It’s an absolute must-have. Get it while you can, Star Wars fans! May the Force be with you!
