LEGO SET 75393 - Alternate build | TIE Fighter & X-Wing Mash-up
LEGO Set 75393-1 – TIE Fighter & X-Wing Mash-up: Alternate Build Possibilities
When two of the most iconic starfighters in the galaxy share one box of parts, creativity goes into hyperspace. LEGO Set 75393-1 — the TIE Fighter & X-Wing Mash-up — gives builders a versatile palette of slopes, wedges, hinge plates, bars, and brackets that are equally at home in Imperial and Rebel silhouettes. That means you can swing toward sleek daggers like the TIE Interceptor, pivot into rugged Rebel frames like the E-Wing, or even engineer mechanisms to make S-foils truly “lock in attack position.” The set’s color mix (black, light/dark bluish gray, splashes of Rebel red), together with a generous spread of connection points, encourages both aggressive angles for TIE variants and layered plating for X-Wing fuselages.
What makes this set a standout for alternate builds is the parts balance: you have enough mirrored elements for symmetrical wings and pylons, plus the right assortment of hinges and click joints for poseable control surfaces. Builders have leveraged that to produce screen-inspired starfighters (from Andor and Rogue One), scaled-down display models, and clever mods that upgrade play features without ordering extra pieces. Whether you’re chasing minifigure-scale accuracy, refining proportions, or experimenting with internal technics (like compact S-foil linkages), 75393 is a superb sandbox.
Below you’ll find a curated gallery of alternates and modifications created by talented designers across the community. I grouped them by type (pure alternates using only 75393 parts, partial alternates that add another set, and smart modifications). Each entry shows the model name, designer, a clickable image, and a direct link to grab the instructions so you can build it yourself.
