"The TIE Bomber and Asteroid Field scores 70.9 on the BrickScore as a well-crafted but niche Planets series entry: the TIE model and improved pilot figure earn consistent praise, while the abstract asteroid sphere concept divides opinion and limits the set's appeal beyond dedicated series completionists."
The TIE Bomber and Asteroid Field (75008) earns a BrickScore of 70.9 (Recommended) as part of the LEGO Star Wars Planets series. Expert reviewers agree the TIE Bomber miniature is well-executed and the TIE Bomber Pilot minifigure with improved Series 3 printing is the highlight. The asteroid field sphere is a divisive and abstract concept that drew more skepticism than the other planet entries. The owner base is very small (7 ratings) but extremely positive at 4.91 out of 5 with a 100% recommend rate.
Where they split: Brickset scored it 77 with a positive take, calling the minifigure 'superb' and the ship 'very well executed.' JANG scored it 65 with a more skeptical assessment, finding the asteroid field concept confusing and the overall appeal too niche to drive broad collector interest. The gap is real but both reviewers still land in positive-leaning territory on the TIE Bomber itself.

Owners overwhelmingly praise this set for its detailed TIE bomber replica, standout new TIE pilot minifigure, and appealing asteroid field design, though some note overpricing and minor stability issues with the wings.
