The 7664 TIE Crawler was released in 2007 as part of the Star Wars Expanded Universe line. The set contained 548 parts and included two Shadow Stormtrooper minifigures. The LEGO company put this set up for a limited time only as there was only a limited quantity of TIE Crawlers.

Description

7664-1.jpg

The TIE Crawler featured a traditional TIE-series cockpit, and had two laser cannons attached to it. Attached the the cockpit were two track frames which accomodated for the Crawler's tank tracks. These treads could move if the TIE Crawler was pushed along a surface. On each track frame, there were two concealed red laser cannons which could be pulled out and rotated. Below the cockpit, there was a section where a missile could be placed, and 'flicked' out, in a similar fashion to the smaller flick-fire missiles.
The Shadow Stormtrooper minifigure debuted in this set, and were both armed with Blaster pistols.

Background

TIE Crawlers (also called Century Tanks) were Imperial heavy tanks, employed primarily by the Imperial Remnant after the collapse of the Empire. TIE Crawlers were also utilized by the Confederation during the Second Galactic Civil War. They were armed with one light and two medium laser cannons, and held one pilot. This vehicle could achieve speeds of up to 90 km/h.

Notes

  • The TIE Crawler was the first set to be fully from the Star Wars Expanded Universe (the first set with EU content was the TIE/d Fighter from the 10131 TIE Collection).
