Based on 6 reviews · thin
The Y-wing is one of Star Wars' most iconic ships, and at $9.99 for a Microfighter, LEGO® is charging like it knows that. Cute build, but the price tag stings harder than it should for 86 pieces.
Is the price fair?D+86 pieces at $9.99 is a rough ask even with the Star Wars tax baked in.
Will you love it?B-Charming little ship — Y-wing fans will smile, everyone else will shrug.
Holds its value?CMicrofighters retire quietly and move slowly; don't count on this one breaking the pattern.

The Full Take
Microfighters live or die by how well they capture a ship's silhouette at a tiny scale, and the Y-wing does an okay job — the twin ion engines and that skeletal fuselage read clearly enough on a shelf. But $9.99 for 86 pieces in 2020 was already pushing it, and the single minifig doesn't add much to justify the ask. The build itself is quick — maybe 20 minutes if you're generous — which lands it squarely in impulse-buy territory rather than a meaningful experience. It's a B- for enjoyment: Star Wars fans will like having it, but nobody's going to call it a highlight of their collection. Value retention is middling at best; Microfighters churn fast enough that secondary market demand rarely builds momentum. Buy it because you love Y-wings, not because you expect anything more from it.
