LEGO 75347 TIE Bomber Investment Watchlist
Set Overview
The LEGO Star Wars TIE Bomber (75347) was released in January 2023 and carries an RRP of £59.99. Based on The Empire Strikes Back, the TIE Bomber is one of the more recognisable Imperial ships and had been absent from the LEGO lineup for many years prior to this release.
The set includes 625 pieces and features Darth Vader, Vice Admiral Sloane, a TIE Bomber Pilot and a Gonk Droid, adding to its appeal for both collectors and Star Wars fans. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Key Features
- Iconic Imperial TIE Bomber design from the original trilogy
- Torpedo-dropping play feature with multiple projectiles
- Strong minifigure lineup including Darth Vader
- Display-friendly size and accurate proportions
The combination of play features and display accuracy makes this a well-rounded Star Wars set, appealing to both younger builders and adult collectors.
Historic Price Behaviour
As a mid-range Star Wars set, the TIE Bomber has typically seen moderate discounting through retail channels. However, sets featuring iconic ships and strong minifigures tend to maintain consistent demand, particularly as retirement approaches.
Star Wars ships from the original trilogy often benefit from long-term collector demand, especially when there are gaps between releases of the same vehicle — as was the case with the TIE Bomber.
Investment Thoughts
- Original Trilogy ship with strong long-term demand
- Less commonly produced than standard TIE Fighters
- Strong minifigure selection adds collector appeal
- Available at a decent discount if you can get it for a third off £40, it’s a certain buy
When on sale at Amazon, its sales rank is normally in the top 2k. As expected a very popular set.
The rarity factor is key here. While TIE Fighters are consistently re-released, the TIE Bomber has historically had much longer gaps between versions. That scarcity can support stronger aftermarket performance once the set retires.
The main risk is that LEGO could release another version sooner than expected, which would cap short-term growth. However, based on past release patterns, that risk appears lower than with more common vehicles.
Comparable Retired Sets
75300 Imperial TIE Fighter — good baseline for standard Imperial ship performance
This set was one of the most popular sets when on the market. The tie bomber is up there, but not quite as iconic. But it’s a good comparison to show what is possible in retirement. When on the market, you could have picked it up for £25-3,0 and within a year, this set was at £70, a great return.
I expect the bomber to certainly go up past £80-90 quite soon, so not quite as huge a return, but certainly, there is great money in this set and for any investors, they will be wanting a few of these in their portfolio.
BrickAnalyst Verdict
✅ Buy under: £40
⏳ Hold period: 2–4 years post retirement
⚠️ Risk level: Low (strong demand, but future remakes always possible)
