The Full Take
The TIE Bomber has been one of Star Wars' most underrepresented ships in LEGO® form, and this 2023 version finally does it justice. The double-hull silhouette reads immediately on a shelf — this is not a set you mistake for something else. Four minifigs for a $64.99 set is a reasonable deal, and the price grade landing at a B reflects that LEGO® didn't get greedy here. The build itself won't rewrite what you know about LEGO® techniques, but it's a satisfying medium-session build with enough structural interest to keep you engaged. It's not a showstopper centerpiece, but as a display piece in a Star Wars collection it fills a gap that needed filling. The B+ hold grade is where things get quietly interesting — TIE Bomber demand tends to outlast supply when it retires.
