Very good
Beautiful and the gift was well received!
y wing
very good and fun set
An amazing set with several flaws
Positives:
- The fine detailing on the ship is cool
- The bomb-dropping mechanic works well
- The whole set just looks cool overall
- The minifigures are all really cool
Negatives:
- The spring-loaded missiles are really easy to accidentally press when you pick up the ship and it's annoying
- The build is fun save for the engines, which are really repetitive to build
That's it, there really aren't any bad things beyond those two small things. It's a fun build mostly and I like this set.
The Comeuppance
Piloted by Zorii Bliss during the Battle of Exegol as part of the citizen's fleet. This set is a great build with great minifigures. The design of the ship is excellent and I enjoy the bomb dropping function. It includes three minifigures, Zorii Bliss, Poe Dameron and a First Order Snow trooper, as well as D-O and an astromech droid. The Y-Wing was first seen used in the Battle of Yavin, it is a classic starship that has been used in the very first battle seen in the Skywalker saga to the last.
Easy Build, Fun For Son
My 7 year old son and I enjoyed building the Resistance Y-Wing Starfighter. It's a pretty easy build other than getting the two rocket engines with their bars/poles put together in the final state, but nothing I couldn't help with. We played Empire vs Resistance using his other Lego sets and he had a great time. Cool mini figures included as well. All in all a fun build and good looking set of Lego's. We would recommend.
Great set
Great design and cool minifigures!
A Fun Toy for Old and Young (8+) Alike
My 7- (almost 8) year-old son, loves Legos, is great at assembling them, and has sets all over the house. When I told him that I got him the Resistance Y-Wing Starfighter set (recommended for kiddos and others 8+), he was so excited. The set is somewhat challenging. But, in typical Lego fashion, the full-color guide and clearly-labeled bags make the experience 'a snap,' (yes, I hear the groans now... pun intended). I let him run with the project, watching as he went and helping him learn from his mistakes. He faltered a few times, but we course corrected together and had a blast assembling the set. Three characters with weapons, two droids, spring-loaded firing missiles, three bombs that fall from a manually-rotated cylinder in the rear middle of the fighter, brightly-colored stickers, and just a really cool all-round build make this 578-piece fighter a fun set to assemble... and of course play with. My son spent hours playing with this set after building it and refused to let us disassemble it and put it away for a week (despite Christmas being two weeks away and knowing he'd have more Lego sets to build. So, is the set worth buying? Definitely. I recommend the Resistance Y-Wing Starfighter as a co-build project for you and your young builder and is definitely a solid set for older builders (and Star Wars fans, of course).. Happy building, all. :)
So Much Fun Putting Together!
I love LEGO and so does my kids. We also love everything Star Wars. I was so excited when LEGO came out with so many Star Wars sets. I knew I had to get a few to build with my kids. The first one we chose was the Resistance Y-Wing Starfighter. We were able to complete it in a couple hours. We all took turns working on it. My wife even helped a little! The quality is great, just like every LEGO product. The mini-figures are a great addition. It also has an opening cockpit, spring loaded shooters, and a bomb-drop function. I am now looking forward to when my kids stop playing with it, so I can put in on my shelf with my other Star Wars collectibles.
A Beautiful Set For A Beautiful Ship
I love the Y-Wing! Always have. This version is most definitely no exception.
It is a very strong, sturdy build that just feels great to hold and swoosh around when playing with it.
The bomb bay play feature works just as well as in the Rebellion Y-Wing from Rogue One, though the more open gap at the bottom can make it difficult to keep bombs in when storing 3 instead of 2.
The spring shooters work just as well as always, except due to them now being located under the engines instead of the cockpit, it is much easier to bump them accidentally when playing and launch them off into the land of lost LEGO pieces.
The minifigs included are all great! Poe Dameron's new look is translated perfectly from film to fig here with the satchel bag really closing it all together. Newcomer Zorii looks awesome and her new helmet mould is very unique. As someone who has now seen Rise of Skywalker, I'm very happy to own her minifig as she was one of my favourite characters. D-0 is really cute but is also so small that I'm terrified I'm gonna lose him. I'm also a big fan of Snowtroopers so getting this Elite Snowtrooper in the set with my favourite ship seemed like destiny! Finally is the unnamed "Astromech Droid". Beautiful colour and it's nice to get the more unconventional flat-top droid. Just a shame that there's no official name for it.
In the end the only problem I have is that the price is maybe a bit high. Not too high, but maybe £50 or £55 would have felt more suitable.
All-in-all a great set with great minifigs. I can't recommend it enough!
Very good
Good quality, that's what I like about it.
Resistance Y-Wing
Built this a few days ago shortly after building the Y-Wing from Rogue One (75172) so I could account for the differences. They are meant to be different variants or models of the actual Y-Wings depicted in the movies, and I think Lego did a good job with ensuring that these two models were in fact different. The Resistance Y-Wing is viewed as a sleeker more symmetrical variant, whereas the original was not. This one is definitely much more sleek, and I feel that Lego did the best they could without having to create new elements to make it more movie accurate. From a build standpoint; the bomb bay is slightly different, the nacelles are different, and the cockpit/nose shows the greatest difference with elements used. The model is longer and taller than the Rogue One Y-Wing. It is a very sturdy model that can be played with and I feel it is different enough in terms of how it is built from the Rogue One Y-Wing that it is a good one to have for any fan.
Please note that the picture shows the models without their stickers. I like to keep my options open ;)
