It's kind of crazy how like 80% of the surface pieces on the new bomber didn't exist when the last one was released

@fulcrum2867 Год назад

While I'm not a fan of the new smaller style of Tie, I do appreciate that it allows us to get the bomber and potentially other larger ties at a more reasonable price. Crossed fingers that they'll remake the Tie Defender one day

@waveburner1254 Год назад

If I remember correctly we'll get a Tie Interceptor this year as well. So maybe, just maybe, Lego is jumping on the Tie Train. We can only hope. The old Ties looked good but compared to the newer versions, they just fail to fit in. A new Style Defender would be awesome but i'd prefer the Advanced to be first tbh.

@thehenribrix1330 Год назад

This model is not undersized at all, actually! The TIE Bomber has always been a fairly small-ish ship compared to the standard TIE's height, and far as scaling with minifigures goes, this one is pretty spot-on, much like the 2002 one. I'd recommend checking out BrickSet's Star Wars scale guide to have a more accurate notion of what sets are undersized and oversized, some of them are actually pretty surprising and unexpected.

@Swivelbot Год назад

or the TIE Intercepter

@kekchanbiggestfan Год назад

I love the smaller ships, lego takes up space FAST

@theodorexenophon7612 Год назад

Aren't the small ones closer to minifig scale though?

@_KaiTheGamer_ Год назад

I'm a weirdo and absolutely love the TIE Bomber, so this set's pretty nice. $60 is a bit steep, but it's still acceptable. Though the bomb bay could be improved considerably, if I had one I'd look into modifying that somewhat...

@waveburner1254 Год назад

Hello fellow Tie Bomber Fan. I have to say despite it's pricetag it's rather fair for what you get. Sure the Tie itself is Not that big but the build itself and the quantity of pieces are worth it. I got it for 54€ which is a good deal. But yeah, i recommend waiting for a pricedrop If you're unsure yet. Also, improving the bomb drop wouldn't be difficult because the build has a 2x2 empty space behind it. So there's space for improving it. I myself have no idea how to modify it best tho.

@Beer_Dad1975 Год назад

Agree, it's a nice model but it doesn't seem great value for $65. I'll get it for sure since it's an OT ship, but I'll wait for a sale.

@carllawson5043 Год назад

I love the bomber too! This sits next to my og bomber set

@clement_f Год назад

I think they could have replaced one of the figures with a KX-series droid. That way the set could have also related to the bombing of Mandalore shown in the Book of Boba Fett and would have offered a highly desirable figure we haven't had enough of (+ we recently saw some of these droids in Andor, so they would still be relevant)

@TheShadowKarl Год назад

I would have 😍 ked that. I say they should have dropped the Darth Vader for that droid.

@kekchanbiggestfan Год назад

Highly agree

@stuckondisney6170 Год назад

YOU DARE TURN AGAINST LORD GONK????

@RollMeAFat1 Год назад

I’m hoping for a full suite of tie vehicles in this scale, they’d all be relatively affordable compared to the older sized tie fighters and would make for a great display

@mariosbrother6845 Год назад

I've always been strangely fixated on tie bombers so I'm so glad they've finally made another one! such a nice little compact set

@lopoa126 Год назад

Crazy to not have a "bomb drop" like the old model considering the (I assume) massive empty space behind the pilot, possibly instead of the small cart build. The bigger screen looks so much better on the old model, I do love being able to see a pilot. Overall the set is still pretty good. 3 minfigs is odd considering you only have a pilot and small cart driver as roles. Droids are always a welcome addition.

@monochrome_soft9472 Год назад

the bombs drop from the other pod, not the one where the pilot sits

@keeshandave8603 Год назад

The tie bomber in my opinion looks very cool. It's been a long time since we got a tie bomber and this one looks cool

@Raynsideways Год назад

As a lifelong Lego Imperial die-hard, these new downscaled TIE fighters are a dream. They actually feel minifig scale; I liked the Solo TIE Fighter, but it was so huge it felt ridiculous. These actually feel to scale with the minifigs. Also, I'm loving Lego's recent focus on smaller, very durable sets. I've got this one, the regular TIE fighter, and Obi-Wan's Jedi starfighter recently, and what really strikes me with these new sets as opposed to older ones is that they're designed from the ground up to be suuuuper tough with nothing loose or prone to falling off. Nothing whobbles, nothing snaps off, it's all super robust and swishable. I am all for it.

@Brixstar Год назад

This is a great remake. When they release the tie striker hope it will be in the same size range

@unclefredsbrickslot5824 Год назад

Jang is one of the best Lego reviewers, just puttin' that out there. Not a massive Star Wars fan, but Jang makes it entertaining nevertheless. I bought the 8-stud yellow Lego camper van which Jang reviewed, and converted it to a 6-stud VW classic.

@thelonious2213 Год назад

I've been waiting 12 years for this set to be made, since I became interested in LEGO and STAR WARS a couple years after the 2003 model was retired. Even though I don't like the down-scaled sets, this one has good proportions and looks good from every angle. It doesn't look like it's a downscaled version of a better set with the single goal of being cheaper. I'm happy with the model and it definitely was worth the wait!

@empatheticrambo4890 Год назад

The 2003 Tie Bomber set was a set I loved as a kid. I'm really surprised how good the cockpit is of this new set, when I saw the pictures I was immediately nervous and skeptical, but the smoothness of the cockpit really makes up for any lacking.

@jawjuk Год назад

So good to see you back reviewing on RU-vid, Jang! I wish we could convey how valued you are on this platform.

@KenTails Год назад

I love the inclusion of the light cargo speeder thing. Similar thing came with the last Slave I, too, but I think this one's more relevant in this set's context. Combat vehicles like fighters, bombers, tanks, etc. are cool and all, and I do love them (both in Star Wars & real life), but they won't be able to do their job as well or at all without the support & logistics stuff like munition loaders or cargo trucks (/speeders). As simple as it may be, this little build really boosts the believability of the whole thing & expands imagination for me. It (+ the rebel personnel carrier from the Yavin IV set) even inspired me to create my own little Imperial utility speeder (haha), and it's given a little extra life to my lego empire. Kudos to the team for deciding to go with this thing (perhaps with left-over parts budget).

@larsu-gx579 Год назад

I have such a deep love for the black and blue TIEs I grew up with, but no question the new ones look waaay more sleek and accurate.

@williamunsworth3258 Год назад

I think the part that hangs down is the bomb port and the targeting sensor, while the concussion missiles come out of the front from the left side pod…thanks again Jang for another great review.

@samuraibricks Год назад

Personally this TIE Bomber is not particularly attractive especially in terms of the value, given its size relative to the TIE Fighter in particular. The figures are pretty nice especially when we are getting Rae Sloane for the first time. Would probably consider picking this up at a decent discount.

@HALLish-jl5mo Год назад

I expect the next standard Tie we get will probably have this new cockpit design, which will make the standard Tie look like a smaller scale, and mesh with this better

@michaelcubed Год назад

“Picking this up at a decent discount” is the name of the game with LEGO Star Wars

@anthawks9374 Год назад

Dude..I totally enjoyed watching this video...YOUR VOICE IS BOB ROSS ALMOST...😊

@michaelsmith8028 Год назад

Gonk Droid!

@sinisterisrandom8537 Год назад

The targeting pod is also where the bombs drop. It does both as one tube is a sensor while the other is the bomb chute for Proton bombs/torpedos.

@Winchester1979 Год назад

I think the reason why the old bomber looks bigger at first glance is that the vertical section of the side panels is two studs taller, and the canted sections are a stud shorter each. It's very subtle, as it forces the corners out a little.

@empatheticrambo4890 Год назад

I'm not really a fan of the Bombing mechanism in this set either. I do wonder if the original method would be superior: I remember loving that version as a kid, it looked great and was easy to use. Plus, modern rubber bands are so durable. While I was writing this comment, you brought out the original, and I'm really glad to see the comparison. It makes a real difference. It also made me realize my childhood tie bomber is missing the sensor at the bottom!

@bjornkeizers Год назад

I usually don't really go for Star Wars, but the TIE bomber is one of my favorite SW craft next to the Y-Wing. I actually own the 2003 version, which of course looks terrible to modern eyes. I was quite pleased when they finally released this new version - I ordered it yesterday and recieved it this evening! Can't wait to build it.

@AutomatonArchive Год назад

I didn't mind the price too much considering how much I've wanted a remake of this ship, but I kinda wish it came with an additional minifig. I certainly wouldn't want the ship itself to be any bigger. I like that other commenter's idea of a KX droid (I remember fan boxart a couple years ago which included one) or even an astromech. Ground crew or another hangar-related figure would have been cool as well. Gonk droids are nice but they're just a handful of very common pieces. In general it's exactly what I expected and that's fine. I wanted a TIE bomber and that's what I got lol

@meatyochre9135 Год назад

A review so nice, I'll watch it twice

@rohaannambiar6896 Год назад

love you jang! great review as always

@koopanique Год назад

The new Tie Bomber looks really good! I really love it, just like I loved the smaller Tie Fighter

@bobbirdsong6825 Год назад

i wonder what exactly inspires the lego star wars designers to include various named characters for no reason in more and more new variants while there are plenty of massable roles that we generally don't see. imagine if we got an imperial trooper instead that calls in the tie bomber for a sortie, that would be pretty cool

@Cobra_1967 Год назад

Nice - a Gonk droid set - and it comes with a TIE bomber as a side build :) BTW - i like that they included Darth Vader in the set - now i just need to rebuild the bomber into Vader's TIE Advanced from the original movie trench run - anybody out there who has a set of MOC instructions, or is it too early?.

@RRSlugger Год назад

Thank you for comparing the two side by side! It was honestly a good wake up call for me to see how janky the original was in comparison to this newer, more sturdy build. I really like the design of this new model. With that being said though, that pop of colour on the old one really highlights how drab modern Star Wars has gotten. I know the era of blue TIE Fighters is scoffed at these days, but they’ve just gotta find a way to get blue back on these models again! Maybe Sand Blue would work better? 🤔

@HGHsChannel Год назад

Hi Slugger ! Sand Blue TIEs would be awesome. The 2016 TIE striker has little sand blue details and it's one of my favourites. The old Blue TIEs might look a bit ridiculous, but I love 'em; they were the only ones I had for a long time and they're still sitting on my shelves!

@martinuhr6760 Год назад

Today i got my own...i like it so so so much...its an awesome model...and my favourite..."Gonk!"...i like it! A must buy!

@scorpiovenator_4736 Год назад

I am going to mod this into the Tie boardingcraft

@Heartland.Productions Год назад

Now they need to make the standard and interceptor with this level of quality. They’ve been cranking out TIE fighters so much the past decade, but this is the first one that is finally excellent.

@XeniaChow Год назад

That the tie bomber comes with a Gonk Droid makes this an instantly worthy Lego set.

@funeralmotors2994 Год назад

it's building is so random, there's not even a special print for its console/face. So, not a gonk at all.

@hugoibanez577 Год назад

On the one side, I'd have preferred it to be in the 50€/$ gap, minus the side build and including just the pilot (ala new X-wing and Tie fighter). On the other one, this Vader is a compelling point for me: probably the best likeness to date of Sebastian Shaw in ROTJ. I sense the collectibility will be strong in this one...

@Angry_Squirrel555 Год назад

I’m just hoping that we get a TIE Interceptor next.

@RoscoeWasHere Год назад

I don't think they could have done much better at this scale without getting to the $100+ price range, which... most people would have hated. Also, gonk is love, gonk is life.

@Mal_Guy Год назад

Have to get this set, tried to buy the 2003 bomber off ebay so many times I got out bid around $150, so this is a steal.

@josephd27 Год назад

I like the look of it but wish it was a bit larger and could see the pilot inside through the window. It's nice to get another Imperial officer too. Nice review Jang

@RenstashMCDS Год назад

Andor has revitalized my love for Empire ships, stoked to pick this up. Excellent review!!

@viperson9818 Год назад

What a great model. Its nice to have Rae Sloane made into a figure. Kind of a random figure selection if you ask me but its whatever. Too bad they couldn't have a see through windshield. But still a nice set and I can't wait to buy a few of these whenever they drop down a bit in price.

@danprice7973 Год назад

Everything about your reviews are perfect. Your voice is perfect I won’t watch any other Lego Star Wars reviews. Love from the U.K. 🇬🇧

@BenHoltam Год назад

I think that Vadar should be replaced with an Imperial technician & they definitely should have put Sloan in her white uniform. Great set though, I will be picking one up when I see it on discount.

@waffleguy720 Год назад

Never bought a Star Wars set ever, saw darth vader, and they sold me, the bomber tho was a fun rather simple build, definitely worth it to me

@DailyWeeklyBuilds Год назад

Not familiar with Star Wars enough to recognise this vehicle or appreciate how accurate it may be, but as a Lego model only, I think this looks pretty cool!

@Marnie_C Год назад

"This set has no stickers" Automatic 10/10

@quentinmac.5579 Год назад

I’m looking forward to the TIE Interceptor. I still remember when I bought the original one back then for $20.00. Ohh the nostalgia.

@asmo1313 Год назад

your review just made lego some money. ordered it, will be delivered tomorrow. I`m gonna have me some fun

@aspect3066 Год назад

The arms of Vader looks cool that’s a new thing

@Trija204 Год назад

Now we just need a Tie Interceptor

@se7ente3n Год назад

Tie bomber is probably my favorite ship in star wars (tied with U wing and Arc-170) and alot of it is because of Squadrons and battlefront, and just how weird and cool they look. i love this set, i think everything was done well (except the bombing sequence is a little eh)

@mitchelldoesstuff5550 Год назад

GONK in the name of love!

@Obi-Wan_Kenobi Год назад

Unfortunately, I do need that TIE Bomber to compete my collection. I've got a TIE Fighter, Vader's TIE Advance, and an Imperial V-Wing. The TIE Bomber is the very last thing I need to complete the TIE fleet.

@JayDayX116 Год назад

I got the original 20 years ago. I'm actually quite happy to get the new one. Especially with a gonk Droid.

@HeardCase Год назад

I bought it for 53€ and getting it today. Bought it because I like to build Lego Star Wars sets and the figures looking really good but would prefer an additional stormtrooper or imperial crew like engineer . Receiving it today so I hope it gets to my expectations 😊 thanks again for your review and critical opinion 😎

@stevenphelps625 Год назад

Gonk is love. Gonk is life.

@Bazzabazeman Год назад

Got this one for some reason with a 10 euro discount at Intertoys, and for the 55 euros it was an excellent, excellent buy and build.

@lbricks7631 Год назад

Bomb drop mechanism could be dropped down a stud for a brick to be pushed down for a synchronized drop. HAIL GONK.

@Kenosos Год назад

A little bit of me died inside when you said it's been 20 years because I have that one D:

@mortagon1451 Год назад

I just picked this set up for $50 in a local store. I also got the new Ahsoka shuttle for $60.

@haikalyusuf4058 Год назад

so happy about this remake lol, cos I missed the first one, was too young!

@ergofoxxxy Год назад

I didn't even know about the tie bomber, but I needed a bomber to fill out the moc I thought up and it looks good

@vincentwiddershoven2122 Год назад

Thanks Jang for another great video. 😁

@GreenEagleVR 7 месяцев назад

Got mine on Rollback for $51! Very happy!

@wackyweyland8857 Год назад

I like that... it does indeed "fire down" instead of "drop" bombs

@jdfromparis6230 Год назад

I wish it came with a pink cone.

@brianmurawski5668 Год назад

Can't wait to get one... now I need a new B-wing!!

@Sparkz_72alt Год назад

"Gonk is good gonk is great we love gonk" had me fall out of bed laughing

@mikenapier3598 Год назад

Tie bombers in the mandalorian flashback!! Even the new generation is experiencing the OG trilogy ships! I bet it is going to sell well for lego.

@MuddyM1ke12 Год назад

This review makes me want this set so bad after every time I watch it 😂 it's just such a good lego set

@RealCreativeCarson Год назад

All hail GONK

@asrar39 Год назад

If they want to add extra figs then it should be a trooper. That just helps with army building. This way the army you would have would just be a Vader army.

@GoingHamAllTheWay Год назад

While I didn’t need this but it is nice for my tie squadron but I’ll admit I got it for arm printed Vader

@SueBobChicVid Год назад

"TIE Bombers" as a verb. I salute you, sir.

@vladimirchervenkov6949 Год назад

So glad JANG is able to do a comparison with the original. The two sets look very similar

@iceniwargames6347 Год назад

i have a collection of the old blue/black tie variants from 20 years ago. This looks like a good update, hoping we get the other variants to match.

@MrGollysnake Год назад

I really like the scale of these, I’ll wait until it’s on sale, it’s £60 in the UK.

@Vadahann Год назад

I was expecting something more in the "oversized" category like the recent N1 but it's actually reasonably sized, in line with the $40 TIE which is perfect for me. The bomber looks great, just wish they kept the frame structure build for the wings like the recent TIEs for consistency sake. The little bomb cart is nice, would have been better is there was a mechanics or a trooper to actually use it instead of an officer or Vader, that would make more sense.

@michaelyoung7261 Год назад

Your comments at the end really brought comfort to my decision to not get the bomber. Aside from that, I fully agree 100% with your review on the bomber. Good set. Weird that Vader is here. Love the Gonk

@LoganTheMovieDude2008 Год назад

The tie bomber is my favorite Lego Star Wars set

@canuckled Год назад

I bought this for Sloane, I've been needing her to mark my flagship in Star Wars Armada

@gaia1066 Год назад

I can't wait for a tie interceptor now

@undead.rising Год назад

Anyone think that they should have made the black of the side panels go up one stud higher?

@theo-dog2699 Год назад

"yeah, more gonk please. yes" the one line that all star wars fans can agree on

@Starfish077 Год назад

You asked for it - you got it! LEGO.

@jesperolsen9012 Год назад

I need a TIE Bomber in my life!

@pixelarrowproductions6308 Год назад

Always loved the tie bomber. Thanks for the review Jang!

@Zenlore6499 Год назад

I’ll say it again: definitely gonna get this when I get my next paycheck, cuz I think it looks great!

@lostmaster338 Год назад

How does the size of this compare to the tie advanced in that a-wing vs tie advanced set? Looks pretty similar.

@TheSpaceGuy8538 Год назад

I love this Bomber, it looks incredible!

@popculturehero Год назад

I've been interested in expanding my imperial fleet and this will do nicely. Its much more of a model than a playset. *Gonk*

@solarbear7229 Год назад

Love the retrowave shirt!

@nedgey Год назад

It's pretty cool. More interesting than all the tie fighters going around. Bonus if you don't have a darth vader, which I don't. Still a lot of money to drop on more LEGO...
