$67 · Lego Star Wars - Y-Wing Fighter #7658

Y-wing Starfighter The Y-wing is a workhorse starfighter that has been in use since the Clone Wars. Used for dogfights and for bombing runs against capital ships and ground targets, Y-wings are often overshadowed by newer models such as the X-wing and the A-wing. But the Y-wing's historical importance is remarkable, and it has reliably served multiple generations of star pilots. Y-wings saw service during the Galactic Civil War, with rebel pilots respecting their ability to take a beating in combat and still return home. But these starfighters were showing their age by the time of the struggle against the Empire – many had been stripped of hull plating and engine nacelles to make maintenance easier, and models that eliminated the gunner’s turret had been introduced. Y-wings took part in the attacks on the Empire’s Death Stars at Yavin and Endor, and were mainstays of the Alliance starfighters corps in the years between those epic battles. The BTL-A4 Y-wing assault starfighter/bomber, part of the venerable BTL-series manufactured by Koensayr Manufacturing. An effective marriage between speed and firepower, Y-wings served their respective causes extremely well. Star Wars Y-Wing Fighter, released in 2007, comes with 454 pieces. Weapons for the Y-Wing Fighter include a pair of ion cannons, two proton torpedo launchers, and a pair of laser cannons. The parts of this vehicle are movable to add even more of a realistic and responsive touch. This kit comes with an instruction manual . The minifigs included are rebel pilot Dutch Vander and his astromech droid R5-D4. Made to fit into a small niche right behind this model's cockpit, the droid monitors the ship's systems and acts as co-pilot. This Y-wing is complete & in nice shape, the instructions have seen some battle wear. Check my sellers list for more Lego sets. Buy multiple sets & get a better deal.
