Five minifigs in a $70 Star Wars set is a small miracle — LEGO® doesn't hand those out often, and the Y-wing itself has enough greebling to feel like a proper ship rather than a shelf filler.
Is the price fair?A+Five figs and a full ship at $70 — one of the better deals in the Star Wars lineup that year.
Will you love it?C+Solid ship, great minifig count, build that's engaging without being exhausting.
Holds its value?A-Retired sets in this price range with strong minifig ratios tend to hold — this one follows the pattern.
The Full Take
The Y-wing has always been the workhorse of the Rebellion, and this 2019 version leans into that identity with a dense, mechanical build that rewards patience. Five minifigs for $70 is the kind of ratio that makes you do a double-take at the box. The ship itself holds up on a shelf — chunky, recognizable, and detailed enough to pass the "looks intentional" test from across a room. The build experience is solid without being revelatory; the techniques are competent rather than clever, which keeps it accessible without thrilling the advanced builder. Where it wobbles is in the "what you get" department beyond the minifig haul — the accessories and extras feel light for the price tier. Still, as a mid-tier Star Wars set, this one punches above its weight where it counts most.
