LEGO Star Wars 40771 TIE Fighter GWP Rumoured For 1st October 2025

Whilst recent rumours regarding 75419 UCS Death Star have taken on an interesting twist with only a half sphere build now included in the latest LEGO Star Wars UCS set, the 18+ set will, regardless, be getting an exclusive GWP. This promotional item, in particular, is 40771 TIE Fighter, which is available starting from the 1st of October 2025, but only with purchases of the $1,000 brick-built Death Star.

With only 236 pieces included, 40771 will be one of our smallest LEGO TIE Fighters yet, almost 200 pieces fewer than 2021's 75300 Imperial TIE Fighter, yet still larger than the Microfighter interpretation of the Galactic Empire starfighter. This suggests the promotional item, similar to previous LEGO Star Wars GWPs, has nothing to do with the build or scale of 75419 UCS Death Star.

Instead, 40771 is likely a micro- or midi-scale rendition of the iconic Imperial TIE Fighter, following on from previous LEGO Star Wars mid-scale ships we've seen in 2025. These models emphasise display over play, recreating some of the ship's most iconic features in a more compact form. What is confirmed, regardless of the build and scale of the TIE Fighter, is the inclusion of three Minifigures. Whilst we don't know who these figures are, they are likely to be the most desirable part of the GWP for the upcoming $1,000 UCS model.
