The Lego Microfighters Star Wars series 1 through 3 are amongst my favorite Lego sets. They are compact (almost pocket friendly), they draw close resemblance to the craft they are emulating, and they are a great way to get a Star Wars craft even if you can’t buy the larger models.
There are so many great Ships already made in the first few Series including the Millenium Falcon, 2 Types of X-Wings, and 2 of the Variants of the Tie Fighter. Plenty of other ships have not yet been represented, even important iconic ships like Slave 1 or the Imperial Shuttle.
What Star Wars ships would you hope will be made in the next series??? (The Survey images feature various Fan creations of Micro Fighter style ships)
Other ships to consider for the future are: Gungan Sub, ETA-2 Jedi Starfighter, B-Wing, Sail Barge, Speeder Bike, Rey’s Speeder, and Vader’s Tie. There are of course hundreds of other ships that have appeared in the 7 current movies, and with Rogue 1 and future “Story” movies coming, I’m sure Lego will want to feature some new movie ships in subsequent microfighter series.
How about the ajoining Minifigures?
Lego tends to not couple their microfighters with primary Star Wars characters but hopefully that trend will fade with some of these desirable ships and we’ll get some first choice minifigs. Such as Boba in Slave 1, a Jawa with the Sand Crawler, Obiwan in the Land Speeder, and the Emperor in his shuttle or maybe even the Death Star.

- Darth Maul’s Infiltrator
Some may never be made into production Micro Fighter Series ships, but hopefully we’ll get some real iconic ones in the next batch!

I’d love to get some instructions on the ones you’ve posted. I’m buying all of them when available, but I’d also like to build the ones I’ve seen online; the Lambda class shuttle, the Tantive IV, the Nebulon B, the Sandcrawler, etc. Need instructions people! 🙂
I think some of them might be easy enough to build just with a few photos of the complete MOC. I might take a stab at the Land Speeder, Slave 1 and Sandcrawler. When Lego keeps making TIE fighter variants and skipping over some of the most iconic craft, we might just have to start building on our own.
The Slave 1 is an official set. Comic Con released but the instructions and parts are out there to get. In fact I made 2 to sell one on….
