Hi, I have updated some of my designs now, and added a new one, the TIE Bomber! Please check it out here: http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/34378

Lego is scheduled to make this kit this year! http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=75025-1

The A Wing you saw in the store was the one I was talking about. They have not arrived in New Zealand yet, but when they do get here I will definitely get one! I am up to 22 supporters for my TIE Defender... 500 seems a long way away! One project got to 10,000 in 3 days, it was a university mascot thing, and they got all the alumni to vote for it.

To be honest I am not sure how to drum up support, and if anyone on the boards has any ideas I am all ears. I have mentioned it on Facebook and Tumblr, but the way those sites work any post soon gets buried, and since I do not have the pieces to make either of the kits I cannot really make a Youtube video or anything. 10,000 is a lot of people to need. Lego makes official comments once you hit 1,000, which would be cool. Is there anywhere else besides these forums where Star Wars fans congregate?

Thank you for your support! I have the hull of the TIE Bomber completed, but I need to sort out the wings, I want it to match the TIE Advanced of Darth Vader's that someone else has done, and need his permission to use his wings. My girlfriend loves the little mini planets, and has a few of them. This year Lego is putting out a TIE Bomber in that set. The new A Wing in the same scale as my models is not very big so not very expensive if you want an A Wing.

Thank you! Lego has made a couple of SWTOR models now, the Sith Fury and a Jedi Starfighter. This year they are doing some troop packs with a speeder and the Jedi Defender I think. Someone who has been supporting one of my designs and giving me helpful comments to improve the TIE Avenger has designed a Sith Starfighter from KOTOR: http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/29643 Thanks again for your support!

The Lego Defender and Interceptor you are referring to is from the old Lego Star Wars Starfighter series, and do not fit in with the current (2010+) range, which are all slightly larger and much more detailed. I considered getting the old defender at one point, but it would just seem odd sitting next to the new ones. Lego has updated the X Wing, TIE Fighter, Y Wing, Slave 1, Imperial Shuttle, Snowspeeder and just recently the A Wing. I am working on a TIE Bomber design at the moment.

Hi, I have played SWTOR for a year now, and it has dragged me back into the Star Wars hobby. As part of it I started collecting the LEGO Star Wars starfighter models. In the current series the Empire only has the basic TIE fighter available. There is a website run by LEGO called CUUSOO. If a design gets 10,000 supports by people, LEGO may produce them as a kit. I have designed a couple of Star Wars starfighters there, the TIE Advanced/Avenger and the TIE Defender, and others have designed a lot more awesome Star Wars vehicles. My designs are here: http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/33270 http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/33269 I have links to designs for the TIE Interceptor and Darth Vader's TIE Advanced on my pages. Thanks to anyone who supports these designs!
