The TIE Bomber & Asteroid Field originally retailed for $9.99. Live secondary-market data isn't indexed yet — check eBay sold listings for current value.
Lego does not produce official certificates of authenticity for standard retail sets, so verification relies on physical inspection rather than documentation. Check that the set number 75008 is printed on the box and that the plastic pieces feature the raised Lego logo, which is absent on counterfeit items. Verify the part count matches the official list of 238 pieces and inspect the box for correct UPC barcodes and printing quality. If the set lacks these specific manufacturing details or uses loose, non-branded bricks, it is likely a replica.

LEGO set 75008, TIE Bomber & Asteroid Field, was released in 2013 and has been retired by the manufacturer. It is no longer in print or available for purchase as a new item from LEGO. Collectors must seek used or pre-owned copies through secondary markets.
Examine the printed asteroid pieces for rub marks, fading, or scratches, as these are the most common defects in this set. Inspect the TIE Bomber for loose hinges, cracked panels, or missing stickers, particularly on the cockpit and wing details. Check that all minifigures are present and undamaged, noting any wear on their printed features or accessories. Verify that the instruction booklet is included, as its absence significantly reduces the item's value to collectors.
