Does MOCBoxing use LEGO® bricks?

All MOCBoxing orders use only genuine LEGO® bricks unless the product description says otherwise. The only times we do not use them are when MOC designers specifically request parts that The LEGO® Group does not make, like electronic parts or train axles.

New vs. Used Parts

For the new parts, all parts are new unless they are not available anywhere on the market. This very rarely happens and is usually only for discontinued parts in Old Grey or other retired colors. New parts are straight out of a box or LEGO Pick-a-Brick, and have never been built with before.

Used parts have been built with before and may vary in wear and age.

Are electronics included?

Non-LEGO electronics are not included. Most MOCs that require electronics specify if they require BuWizz, TrixBrix, Lightailing or other parts, which can be bought on those respective websites.

What comes in an order?

  • Orders will come with all of the bagged parts for the MOCs you order.
  • Extra parts are included for parts that are small and may go missing.
  • Parts for MOCs under 15$ are grouped together.
  • Minifigures are not included unless otherwise stated
  • Digital instructions will be emailed to you unless the MOC description says otherwise.
  • Orders do not include printed boxes or printed instruction manuals, but you may email us to get a custom quote for these upgrades.

How long does shipping take?

Shipping usually takes less than 10 business days in the US and less than 20 business days internationally. Occasionally there are delays while we wait for suppliers to send us parts.

Do you accept returns?

We order parts from multiple suppliers to make your order specifically for you. Since each order is custom made, we cannot accept returns.

The Tie Defender is the elite of Imperial fighter crafts
Originally introduced in Legends / Expanded Universe stories, it entered the new canon as a prototype series developed by Grand Admiral Thrawn in Star Wars: Rebels, and also featured in the game Star Wars: Squadrons.

This MOC was inspired by the 75300 Tie Fighter set, which was a more compact version of the Tie Fighter which I really enjoyed. After making a Tie Interceptor MOC based on it, I thought it would be interesting to have a Tie Defender in the same slightly reduced scale.

Unlike the Tie Interceptor MOC, the Tie Defender design forced me to redo most of the cockpit (while still keeping it the same size) in order to reproduce a more rounded shape. As a bonus, I managed to get more space for the pilot and its controls.

If you built my Tie Interceptor MOC or have the 75300 Tie Fighter, there are a lot of pieces in common with this MOC, so that could be a starting point.
