My son is a big fan of the LEGO Star Wars collection and has had his eye on this set for a while now. He was very grateful to receive it for his birthday this year, and I was grateful that I could buy it at a reduced price.
The TIE bomber is designed brilliantly and has really achieved the feeling of the Galactic Empire's menacing presence. The set includes four characters: 1 x Tie bomber pilot, 1 x Imperial Officer: Vice Admiral Sloane, 1 x Gonk droid, and Darth Vader. This is the first set my son owns that includes a Darth Vader figure, which he is very happy about.
My son managed to build the set almost entirely by himself. The instructions were easy to understand, and as with all Lego sets, the illustrations are clear and well laid out. For the most part, the model was easy to assemble, and my son only required my help for the smaller details and trickier-positioned pieces.
Along with Darth Vader, my son was happy to receive another Gonk droid. He owns two of these now, including a fun festive version, and usually includes them in his space battles. He always enjoys building these characters.
This tie bomber is fun to play with and is just the right size and weight to be comfortably flown around for bombing runs and space battles. The model includes two stud shooters and four torpedo bays, with six torpedoes included in the set, which my son enjoys using to crush the rebel alliance.
As always, Lego has not disappointed with the quality and playability of this set. I am always happy to spend my money on these toys, as I know they will last for ages and offer many, many hours of play time for my children.
