Description

LEGO Star Wars TIE Bomber (4479) AFA 7.0 ** POP 1 Highest-Grade ** (LEGO, 2003). Released in 2003 as part of LEGO's early Classic Star Wars line, the TIE Bomber (4479) was the first brick-built version of the Empire's heavy ordinance starfighter, featured memorably in The Empire Strikes Back as it blanketed the asteroid field in search of the Millennium Falcon. With dual hulls, flick-fire torpedoes, and a detailed cockpit canopy, this fan-favorite set has become one of the hardest-to-find entries from LEGO's early Star Wars canon. This particular example is sealed and professionally graded AFA 7.0, the highest-graded copy known. With its low production run and short time on shelves, the TIE Bomber remains a coveted piece among LEGO and Star Wars completists alike, made all the more desirable in this elite population-leading condition. A standout display item ready to anchor any vintage LEGO fleet before it vanishes into deep collector space.
