The latest LEGO<\/a> iteration of the iconic starfighter, 75172 Y-wing Starfighter<\/a> is far and away the best version at minifigure scale released so far<\/em><\/p>\n

Price:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a364.99 \/ $59.99 \/ \u20ac69.99\u00a0Pieces:\u00a0<\/strong>691\u00a0Available:\u00a0<\/b>Now<\/a><\/p>\n

The classic<\/a> Star Wars<\/a> spaceship is back in the LEGO<\/a> line, based on its appearance on Rogue One: A Star Wars<\/a> Story. Thanks to the filmmakers’ dedication to in-universe accuracy, that makes it the same vessel that appeared 40 years ago in A New Hope, making this a LEGO<\/a> set that reflects a vehicle instantly recognisable to Star Wars<\/a> fans.<\/p>\n

Y-wings have been part of the LEGO<\/a> Star Wars<\/a> lineup since the very beginning. 7150 TIE Fighter & Y-wing<\/a> was one of the\u00a0first sets all the way back in 1999.\u00a075172\u00a0Y-wing Starfighter<\/a>\u00a0is the fifth minifigure scale version of the ship produced with several micro versions and\u00a0Ultimate Collector Series 10134 Y-wing Attack Starfighter<\/a>. Without a doubt this most recent version is the best minifigure scale\u00a0version of the iconic craft yet.\u00a0\"Y-Wing-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Y-wings have, for a long time, had to play second fiddle to X-wings. While an essential part of the Rebel Alliance’s starfighter fleet, they are few fan’s absolute favourite. Despite that,\u00a0no other Rebel fighter\u00a0has\u00a0an original trilogy era rendition as excellent as this. I have not figured out where to put my Ultimate Collector Series 75192 Millennium Falcon<\/a> yet, so it has been living in my photography booth. I shot a quick picture of it along with 75172 Y-wing Starfighter<\/a> as they are actually accurately scaled to one another.\u00a0This set did not look out of place next to what is arguably the pinnacle of the LEGO<\/a> Star Wars<\/a> line. I am now\u00a0eager for a new original trilogy X-wing at this level of detail,\u00a0to make an amazing Yavin IV Massassi Temple scene possible.<\/p>\n
