LEGO 75347 TIE Bomber – The Empire Strikes with Heavy Fire
LEGO brings one of the Empire's most feared warships to your shelf with the 75347 TIE Bomber. The TIE Bomber is the heavily armed variant of the legendary TIE Fighter series – designed for bombing and target destruction.

The Cockpit and Firing Mechanism – Precision in miniature
At 16 cm in length, 20 cm in width, and 10 cm in height, the TIE Bomber is a prominent spaceship on your desk or shelf. The design follows exactly the film template from "The Empire Strikes Back": the black side wings, the distinctive cockpit module, and the feared weapon system. The opening cockpit provides space for two minifigures, so both Darth Vader and the TIE Pilot can sit side by side. The construction is designed so it opens and closes easily without appearing fragile.
The firepower lies in the automatic torpedo release system. The TIE Bomber features a torpedo shaft with release mechanism that can fire up to four torpedoes simultaneously. The set includes a total of six torpedoes, so multiple passes are possible without constantly reloading. Two separate shooters at the front complement the arsenal for quick pulse fire attacks. This combination of versatile weaponry makes the TIE Bomber not just a display model but a real toy combat aircraft.
The Torpedo Transporter – Empire logistics for battle scenes
What makes this set special is the inclusion of a separate Torpedo Transporter Cart. The cart is a small but well-designed model with space for a driver minifigure and room for two torpedoes. This transforms not only the spaceship into an action-packed element but also enables ground scenarios: The Gonk Droid or Vice Admiral Sloane can drive the transporter and bring supplies to the bombing station. This dual function makes the set educationally valuable – players can tell their own stories around Empire logistics.
The cart is sturdily constructed and can easily be combined with other sets to build entire military bases or battle scenarios. The black coloring matches the Imperial design of the TIE Bomber perfectly and underscores the affiliation with the same task force.
Four figures of the Imperial Military – Darth Vader, Sloane, and Pilot
The set impresses not only with its spaceship but also with high-caliber minifigures. Darth Vader with his legendary lightsaber sits as supreme commander in the cockpit. Vice Admiral Sloane, the high-ranking Imperial officer, brings military authority and is equipped with a blaster pistol. The TIE Bomber Pilot wears the characteristic black Imperial pilot armor and is armed with a blaster pistol. The group is completed by a Gonk Droid, which is perfect for transporter scenes and humorous moments.
This figure combination is unique in the current LEGO Star Wars collection and enables scenes on multiple levels: Darth Vader as the spaceship commander, Sloane as the on-site coordinator, and the pilot as operational commander – plus the reliable droid. Each figure is versatile for different battle scenarios.
The Empire Strikes Back – About the TIE Bomber Strategy
The TIE Bomber is known from the Battle of Hoth, where the Empire massively bombards the Rebel Alliance base. This scene is one of the highlights of "The Empire Strikes Back" and demonstrates the military superiority of the Empire. The inclusion of Darth Vader in this set underscores the strategic importance of this aircraft variant. In contrast to the standard TIE Fighter, the Bomber specializes in area bombing and can eliminate an entire region from above. The set conveys this significance through massive firepower and solid construction.
