I greatly enjoy this set. Just one of those you need to have for a Star Wars collection. Very simple building and it holds perfectly. I wish there were more sets like this now.

Ties, business suits... whatever.
I got theis set long ago, it's packed away, and I don't remember everything it has, but I remember the basics.
Well, what we have is Darthe Vader's Tie Fighter only with another middle section. It holds together very nicely so the playability factor is high. There's not much to say about the cockpit. The pilot has enough room to fit inside and fly the Bomber. If I remember correctly, the bombs are in the cockpit section. Since I haven't played with this in a while, I'm not sure how the bomb dropper works. But I think you pull something in the back, releasing the bombs. But if I remember correctly, the bombs will sometimes get stuck and won't fall out.
The second section just has a cannon. It also has "Shutters" which aren't necessary to open when firing the cannon. The force of the missle will open them for you.
Overall, a great set. If your a big fan of the original trilogy, I'd say get this set. It's great to play with and "fly around" and have space battles.

I am soooo glad that lego finally came out with a tie that isn't exactly like the others. Lets see how it scored:

Pros:
-new, fresh design
-drops bombs
-shoots missle

Cons:
-for this type of set, none

Trust me when I say this, your tie collection cannot and will not be complete without this set!

this is a classic set. it has a cool design and lots of unique pieces. it is pretty movie accurate and has a basic construction, the cockpit has no controls and only room for 1 pilot. the wings mainly us large flat panels and blue bits. the weapons pod is terrififc.it has a missle launcher whcih is covered by painted not stickered flag pieces. it also has fusion bombs which actually drop. great set could have used a blaster for the cool pilot.

This set is amazing, it is very realistic and has a great array of features unlike other Lego Star Wars sets, which are usually merely models with not a whole lot of play value. This set combines the great design of Star Wars sets with the features of Lego's other themes. In a few years, this set will be viewed as a classic.
