![]() ![]() LEGO paid attention to all the details and most definitely delivered. The LEGO version of the helmet is spot-on. The box pictures show the front of the helmet and one of the sides. On the backside of the box is a picture of a TIE fighter pilot that you would see in The Empire Strikes Back. The blood, sweat, and tears paid off and the results are quite remarkable. Lining them up just right requires a deeper level of focus than even other Expert-level builds like Ultimate Collector Series ships. What makes this set extra challenging is the detail pieces are all the same color. The directions were designed for expert builders, where many steps are shown in the same drawing. A more experienced builder might not struggle as much as I did. I build LEGO sets a lot but I’m far from an expert so I made plenty of mistakes. ![]() I built it and then had to redo it twice. I got through the first three bags rather quickly. This set is for sure not for younglings or younger padawans. I am not a LEGO master and this set was challenging. The build of this helmet took me about 5 hours to complete. This collection is designed for builders ages 18 and up. The collection showcases the TIE Fighter Pilot, Boba Fett, and a Stormtrooper. This set is part of the new helmet collection which features iconic dark side helmets to celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Empire Strike Back‘s original theatrical release. The LEGO TIE Fighter Pilot Helmet (#75274) is 724 pieces. ![]() Some of the more well-known pilots are Baron Valen Rudor and Captain Vult Skerris both of Rebels fame. The helmet has two flexible gas tubes attached to it, giving it it’s iconic look. TIE pilots wear a black jumpsuit with a black reinforced helmet very similar to a Stormtrooper design. TIE Fighter Pilots are an elite class of the Imperial military. Since we’d only planned on buying one, the choice was pretty easy. While Boba Fett is the most famous of the three choices, the TIE Fighter Pilot helmet seemed the most interesting to me. When LEGO announced the new helmet series to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, I was quickly drawn to the LEGO TIE Fighter Pilot helmet. ![]()
