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.



This custom TIE Interceptor is very similar to my TIE Fighter Build. The cockpit glass is not completely covered and actually does allow a little glimpse of the pilot inside. The hatch also accurately opens from the top of the ship. To place a pilot inside the minifigure must be seated with their arms down at their sides and be dropped into the cockpit. To remove the minifigure from the cockpit the Tie Fighter must be turned upside-down and the figure will fall out. 

If you want to own both my Interceptor and TIE Fighter I have a discounted combination pack here.

Dimensions:
7" Long
6" Wide
5" Tall

This ship is 1/43 scale

The ship stands 8" tall when displayed on my custom display stand which can be found here

If you want to better understand the scale I use for my ships check out this video. 

MODIFICATIONS NOTES:
At 1:43 in my video above I discuss the design choice of using 1x2 clip plates for more stability rather than 1x1 clips which are more accurate. I have two possible solutions for those wishing to modify the 1x2 clips in favor of more accuracy:

1. If you favor the use 1x1 clips, as mentioned in my video, I suggest also using 1x12 and 1x3 plates as well for each wing to accommodate the slightly shortened wing. This is a great solution for those only wanting to display their Interceptor and/or have older children that will pick it up. ITEM NOs needed: 15712, 60479, 3623 (4x each piece)

2. After creating this video a very smart viewer discussed using a 1x3 Hinge Tile (44300). This is a fantastic and sturdy solution that I am currently using on my personal build. The only drawback is that this piece is less common and technically it does put a little strain (albeit very small) on the hinge joint, for those reasons I have kept the build as is. But for those wanting the best stability and accuracy I think this is the best solution. ITEM NOs needed: 44300, 44302, 60479, 3623, 3069, 63864  (4x each piece)
