LEGO Star Wars set 9492 TIE Fighter depicts the Imperial TIE starfighter as a buildable model released in 2012. It belongs to the Star Wars theme and contains 413 pieces, with a minifigure selection focused on the Galactic Empire.

TIE Fighter 9492 represents one of the most recognizable Imperial starfighters in Star Wars. Within the LEGO Star Wars theme, it serves as a standard Imperial craft, suited to scenes involving Imperial forces, Death Star personnel and space conflict.

The build is centered on a cockpit module framed by large side panels, the defining outline of a TIE Fighter.

The model works for play, display and collecting because the subject is clear without needing a specific scene. In a LEGO Star Wars collection, it fits as a core Imperial vehicle, complementing other builds and characters connected with the Empire.
