LEGO Star Wars set 75161, “TIE Striker Microfighter”, depicts the TIE Striker as a compact Star Wars model. Released in 2017, it belongs to the Star Wars theme and contains 87 pieces.

The model presents the TIE Striker in Microfighter form, giving the vehicle a small, easily recognizable LEGO interpretation. Within the LEGO Star Wars theme, it represents a licensed spacecraft in a reduced format rather than a large display model, with the subject identified through its overall shape and pilot pairing.

The contents cover both the compact ship and its pilot. The most specific documented details concern the minifigure, including printed legs, two silver helmet stripes and silver belt pouches.

This set suits LEGO Star Wars collectors who want a small TIE Striker for a themed lineup, as well as builders looking for a compact model for play or display.
