LEGO Star Wars TIE BOMBER Comparison! (4479 vs 75347 | 2003 vs 2023)

In 20 years LEGO Star Wars has improved. A LOT. Perhaps no LEGO Star Wars comparison highlights that better than the 2003 vs 2023 TIE BOMBER! While the original 4479 TIE Bomber has one slight edge over the new 75347 TIE Bomber, it won't be enough. The new LEGO Star Wars set is just too good!

So glad that a remake is finally here! This is probably one of the best examples of a LEGO Star Wars remake 🔥

I'd say it's the Slave I. The difference between 7144 and 7153/6209 is incredible.

[@fritz404]

With all respects to the classics, 2023 just blows the original out of the water and there's no competition, imagine after 20 years Lego somehow made and released a worse tie bomber.

I really like how the older sets with their blocky builds and arch pieces had a bit of an architecture vibe to them. Also superior pew pew pew functions in the old one. From a pure model look, the new one totally nails it, and it fits in scale to the '21 TIE, so shut up and take my money :)

For me the old sets i like because they allow for more play features, but the the newer ones obviously look better. But what i think what was perfect in 2008-14 lego Star Wars was their design. The sets had a perfect blend between model and Lego toy.

[@firebirdbricks]

Love the intro haha, great comparison.

[@thatgreenfur6584]

Oh man, I got a Lego Tie Bomber off eBay back in like ~2002 before the official set released. It was an moc someone had made out of Tie Fighters or maybe even the Tie Interceptor. It's fascinating to compare it to these two. Might have to make a video breaking it down.

[@McFrozenNuggets]

This new one obviously blows the roof off of the 2003 set! With the TIE Interceptor coming out in spring/summer of next year, I'm already expecting us to possibly get Darth Vader's TIE Advanced as early as winter 2024.

It looks better but the playability is wayyy worse. The missile and bombing features on the old one are better.

You should do a review/comparison of every Lego Droideka.

[@J2M2Og]

I have the 4479. This new one is nice but I'd have preferred a cockpit that is transparent and a better bombing/missile function over what is in the new one. Perhaps just the pilot figure, blue tips on the bombs (easy switch) and putting the big momma missile in the new one as well. Time to work up a moc!

[@delsyncroft]

The 2003 tie bomber is the first lego set I bought with my own money and didn't get as an present. I was 10 years old on holiday in Hungary with my grandparents and friends of my parents, bought it in Budapest. It was my price possession above everything else from lego back in the day. So for me it's an personal one and the 2003 wins def! But yea nostalga doesn't make it an fair comparrisson for me😅

Strange how the box on the 2022 set has a blue stripe denoting it as a ESB set yet the box has a 40 years for ROTJ. marking.. so perhaps that was just an afterthought on LEGO's part?

[@luisemoralesfalcon4716]

After 20 years in advancements by LEGO, this ship is well due the fixes they implemented specially since this version has x3 figures and one Droid while the 2003 had only one figure. The sizes look similar but compared to the 2017 TIE this is tiny oh well, I can have it as a Tie Bomber/s mainly deployed for cities and such places where the regular Bombers don't have much space to maneuver.

[@Gzilla313]

2022: more accurate, more stable build, better figures. 2002: better play functions

[@PuffyOne1898]

Finally

[@josephc8312]

The original has a better color scheme, but that’s the only thing about it that’s better than the new one

[@ortigarosa]

The thing that I don't like about Lego these days is such a lack of playability. This comparison really shows how they now go for the look, not for how the toy will be played. Like, the features on the new bomber really blow. Why is a bomber's bombing feature so lame and soulles?

[@atomicstud]

Yay!

[@8Boy_Editz]

Very cool😎👍

[@pmcate2]

The 2023 looks better but the playability is wayyy worse. The missile and bombing features on the old one are better.

[@neptunemacaw3354]

actually i think 2003 takes the cake in playability/functions

[@quixquire1761]

Honestly, the fact that the new one doesn’t have anything like the giant technic missile in the second area killed my interest in it. I agree that the new one is accurate and probably has better figures, but I like the old one, sue me.

[@omarbaba9892]

But isn’t look way more important then play features?

[@Moistsandeater]

the 2003 bomber is just a great play set for being so early, plus the modularity of it is great too, so easy to store

[@Chase1.9]

Absolutely love the newer version more. 20 years really does make a difference. Also, when firing the big FU missile, I feel like the Commander Cody buildable figure should've been replaced with Jyn Erso. That would've been the cherry on top.

[@Bowsy-1120]

The only real thing I am going to miss about the 2003 tie bomber is the modularity. As the wings were held on with technic pins, and the middle section was too, I used to make my own budget Tie Advanced. I think the wings on the new one are held on with pins but the two parts of the body seam to be properly tied together. (Which isnt a bad thing, just means I will have to buy a second one to modify.)

[@notgray88]

Exactly. Imagine the possibilities of Lego making a fully modular Tie system with modern parts. That would be a dream come true.

[@dawsonkozel4171]

I’ve seen a guy turn one tie bomber into a tie advance and it looked great, you can find a tutorial for it too

[@bloveridge6287]

In my opinion, the bombing feature on the 2023 model is very lackluster. Lego could've definitely done better than 4 flick-fire missiles, perhaps using more pieces on the function itself than the little ammo cart

[@domenickeller2564]

It looks great but cmon Lego. The bombs are like what's the easiest way to do bombs that doesn't have to look good. The shooters are sad trash as well.

[@schnek8927]

@@finkamain1621 Same here. Very glad i "missed" that era of lego... It's a really bad design with no thought put into it, neither from an engineering standpoint or a playability standpoint, and that's frankly the running theme with modern lego. We could've had the ingenuity, iconic looks and fantastic playability from the classics mixed with the complexity of modern pieces nowadays, but instead it feels like the people designing for lego nowadays are just... kinda stupid, not gonna lie... Not to mention that they seem to almost completely lack creativity.
