28 pieces, no minifig, and LEGO® still had the nerve to charge what they charged for this. The TIE Bomber deserves better than a glorified keychain model.

The Full Take
The TIE Bomber is one of Star Wars' most underrated ships — a heavy bomber that never got its due on screen or in LEGO® form. This set doesn't fix that. Twenty-eight pieces gets you something that barely registers as a display piece, and there's no minifig to soften the blow. The price for what's in the box is where this thing completely falls apart — it's a micro-build priced like it isn't. If you're a die-hard TIE Bomber fan desperate for any representation on the shelf, maybe, but that's a tough sell. Almost everyone else should keep walking.
