“In my opinion this is an acceptable version of the Tie Bomber. Bear in mind that this was designed and released in 2003 and for that period I actually think that this is an ok solution. I am not a fan of the annoying use of missile launchers, but it does add great... More playability. The idea of building the Tie in modules also adds a lot of playability. When the ship takes a hit, one can easily dismember it, removing a wing or the cockpit for example.”

“The Lego 4479 Tie Bomber is a build that was released in 2003. It’s a part of the Lego Star Wars series, and is tied to the first three films in the Star Wars franchise: Namely Episode IV (A New Hope, released in 1977), Episode V (The Empire Strikes Back, released in 1980)... More and Episode VI (Return of the Jedi, released in 1983).”

About Star Wars Episode V

Episode V covers The Empire Strikes Back, and the Battle of Hoth is one of the most built battles in LEGO Star Wars. The snowspeeder was in the first wave of 1999, and the AT-AT has had a new version every few years since 2003, including 10178 Motorised Walking AT-AT in 2007, which really walks. Echo Base, the wampa cave and the medical bay where Luke recovers have all had sets too.

Episode V was introduced in 1999 and currently consists of 45 sets. As of today, 10123 Cloud City is the most valuable Episode V set with an estimated new/sealed value of $17,500.
