8087

LEGO Star Wars set 8087, TIE Defender, depicts an Imperial starfighter from the Star Wars universe as a buildable model. Released in 2010, it belongs to the Star Wars theme and contains 304 pieces for the ship and its included minifigures.

The TIE Defender is an Imperial craft with a distinctive wing arrangement around a central cockpit. In the LEGO Star Wars theme, this set adds a less common TIE variant to the range of Imperial vehicles, while keeping the visual language of the Empire clearly recognizable.

The build is focused on the central body and the surrounding wing panels, giving the model the angular profile associated with the fighter. The set includes 304 pieces and 2 minifigures: TIE Pilot, Plain Legs, Plain Black Head (87556 Helmet), and Stormtrooper, Plain Black Head, Black Lines on Nose Vent. These figures provide an appropriate Imperial crew and ground presence for the model.

This set suits collectors of LEGO Star Wars spacecraft, display arrangements, and play scenes centered on Imperial forces. Within a Star Wars collection, it can be placed alongside other TIE craft and Imperial vehicles, with its specific configuration setting it apart from more familiar TIE designs.
