Product Description 

LEGO Star Wars TIE Defender (8087) was released in 2010 and recreates one of the Galactic Empire’s most distinctive and advanced starfighters from the Star Wars universe. With 304 pieces, this retired set stands out from traditional TIE Fighters thanks to its unmistakable three-wing design.

The TIE Defender features a central cockpit surrounded by three large rotating wing sections, giving the spacecraft its unique and aggressive appearance. The model also includes an opening cockpit and flick-fire missiles, providing plenty of opportunities for recreating exciting battles between the Empire and Rebel Alliance.

Set 8087 includes two minifigures: a TIE Fighter Pilot and a Stormtrooper, making it an excellent addition to an Imperial LEGO Star Wars collection.

Unlike many familiar Imperial spacecraft seen throughout the films, the TIE Defender originated in the wider Star Wars Expanded Universe, making this set particularly interesting for collectors who appreciate some of the more unusual ships from the franchise.

Now retired, TIE Defender 8087 remains a distinctive LEGO Star Wars collectible. Its unusual three-wing configuration, classic Imperial styling and relatively limited number of LEGO versions make it an eye-catching display model.

Whether you’re expanding an Imperial fleet, collecting retired LEGO Star Wars sets or rediscovering a classic build, 8087 TIE Defender offers a memorable combination of unique design, nostalgia and collectability.
