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!
