Based on 9 reviews · thin
The Y-wing is one of Star Wars' most iconic ships, and this version captures its battered, workhorse soul well enough — but $69.99 for 578 pieces is a tough ask when better-priced alternatives exist in this scale.
Is the price fair?D+Sixty-nine dollars for this scale and this ship is a hard sell — the D grade says it all.
Will you love it?B-The Y-wing's iconic silhouette and that exposed-frame fuselage make it genuinely satisfying to own.
Holds its value?B-Steady mid-tier performer — nothing explosive, but Star Wars ships don't tend to collapse either.

The Full Take
The Y-wing earned its place in Star Wars lore as the unglamorous workhorse of the Rebellion, and LEGO®'s Resistance-era take leans into that beat-up, utilitarian aesthetic with some success. The exposed skeleton of the fuselage is the highlight — it's not just a design choice, it's accurate to the ship's stripped-down look. Five minifigs is a solid haul, and the lineup is theme-appropriate even if none are headline characters. Where this set stumbles is the price point: $69.99 feels like a stretch for what's on the table, especially when Star Wars sets at this tier have offered more compelling builds. The display presence is decent without being a showstopper — it reads clearly as a Y-wing, which counts for something. Builders will find the fuselage construction mildly interesting but probably won't walk away with new tricks in their arsenal. A B- overall is fair — likable, a little overpriced, and best suited for the fan who just needs a Y-wing on the shelf.
